CIMPolygonGraphic.Name not getting set?

I apologize if this is a dumb question, I'm new.

I have a tool that allows a user to sketch a selection rectangle on a graphics layer, and I'm trying to set the Name property so I can refer to it again, but after adding the element to the layer, the Name property ends up being "Rectangle". This code is in OnSketchCompleteAsync:

Polygon box = geometry as Polygon; QueuedTask.Run(() => { var poly_symbol = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPolygonSymbol(CIMColor.CreateRGBColor(130, 130, 130, 40)); var graphic = new CIMPolygonGraphic() { Symbol = poly_symbol.MakeSymbolReference(), Polygon = box, Name = "ExtentSelection" }; displayLayer.AddElement(graphic); });

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, I figured it out. The Name needed to be set on the Element, not the CIMPolygonGraphic:

var poly_symbol = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPolygonSymbol(CIMColor.CreateRGBColor(130, 130, 130, 40)); var graphic = new CIMPolygonGraphic() { Symbol = poly_symbol.MakeSymbolReference(), Polygon = box }; displayLayer.AddElement(graphic,"ExtentSelection");

Hi,

My code is a little bit different and it works on ArcGIS Pro 9.2

var poly_symbol = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPolygonSymbol(CIMColor.CreateRGBColor(130, 130, 130, 40)); var graphic = new CIMPolygonGraphic() { Symbol = poly_symbol.MakeSymbolReference(), Polygon = box }; graphic.Name = "ExtentSelection"; displayLayer.AddElement(graphic);

It seems that CIMPolygonGraphic constructor overrides Name you set
