EditOperation not getting added to undo stack

BrettWaddingham — Wed, 27 Jul 2022 14:23:40 GMT

I'm creating a tool in ArcGIS Pro 3.0 that will duplicate selected features to a point that is clicked on the map. The process works fine, but does not get added to the undo stack.

For example, I create 3 line features, selected all 3 features, Use my tool (click on map, those 3 features are duplicated with their combined center being on the point that I clicked).

If I were to click 'undo', this undoes my duplicate AND the last line I had created (leaving me as though I'd only created 2 lines).

Hi Brett,

Just to confirm- you're using the EditOperation class to duplicate the features, right? Could you send us the EditOperation code that you use in your tool?

Thanks,

//edit operation var edOp = new EditOperation(); //edOp.ExecuteMode = ExecuteModeType.Sequential; edOp.Name = "Copy Features Tool"; edOp.EditOperationType = EditOperationType.Long; edOp.SelectModifiedFeatures = false; edOp.Execute(); //For each feature in selectedFeatures, get the specific OID for that feature //then, add it to the oIDs list foreach (var item in allSelectionSetValues.First()) { var specificValue = item; var duplicateFeatures = edOp.CreateChainedOperation(); duplicateFeatures.Name = "Duplicate Features"; var gadgetInsp = new Inspector(); gadgetInsp.Load(layer, specificValue); var geom = gadgetInsp["SHAPE"] as Geometry; geomList.Add(geom); var rtoken = duplicateFeatures.Create(gadgetInsp.MapMember, gadgetInsp.ToDictionary(a => a.FieldName, a => a.CurrentValue)); if (duplicateFeatures.Execute()) { oIDs.Add((long)rtoken.ObjectID); } }

Here is the portion of code that has to do with the edit operation after the mouse is clicked.

Chained edit operations are typically used when the results of one call to Execute are needed for a subsequent call. Maybe I'm missing something, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Could you try restructuring the code like this:

Create an edit operation
For each feature in the selection set
  Create a copy, and call editOp.Create
Call editOp.Execute once at the end

Check the return value of edOp.Execute(); It might be false. Also check if edOp.IsEmpty is set. But yes I agree with Rich i don't see the need for a chained operation here either.

I think I've got it figured. I had to re-arrange the code a bit. After duplicating each selected feature, I was doing a .Move (to clicked location).

//edit operation var edOp = new EditOperation(); //edOp.ExecuteMode = ExecuteModeType.Sequential; edOp.Name = "Copy Features Tool"; edOp.EditOperationType = EditOperationType.Long; edOp.SelectModifiedFeatures = false; foreach (var item in allSelectionSetValues.First()) { var specificValue = item; var gadgetInsp = new Inspector(); gadgetInsp.Load(layer, specificValue); var geom = gadgetInsp["SHAPE"] as Geometry; geomList.Add(geom); var rtoken = edOp.Create(gadgetInsp.MapMember, gadgetInsp.ToDictionary(a => a.FieldName, a => a.CurrentValue)); rowTokens.Add(rtoken); } edOp.Execute();
