Snapping in .Net API

Perhaps I am missing something. But I do not see anything in the API around snapping. I do see this in the javascript API. I also don't see any samples which might provide an approach to doing this. Is there anything to do snapping in the API?

Thanks -Joe

Hi Joe,

Snapping is definitely on the list of features we want to add support for. It is on our priority list for a near future release but is not definitive at the moment.

However, we would be very interested to know and understand what use cases you have for using snapping in your editing workflows. Can you please elaborate on that ?.

Thanks,

Preeti

Could probably come up wit a number of things.

What we are looking at now is wanting to be able t inherit properties from an asset (likely linear) to an inspection point. If we could snap the inspection point to the line then we could be sure we are using the right line to inherit properties from (could possibly even use Arcade). If we just place it close, and try to do a spatial search for the nearest feature, there is the possibility of getting the wrong one
