Opening stylx throws : Invalid or Missing densifyCurves value exception

Anonymous User — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 16:32:38 GMT

Hi -

In Pro 2.2.4 I created a new stylx file which has just one symbol in it, a black dot.

With .NET sdk 100.4, I try SymbolStyle.OpenAsync for this file I get:

Invalid argument: Invalid or Missing densifyCurves value. 
Expected value is: true

Is this a bug?

If so, is there a workaround for this?

A search of the api docs for densifyCurves turns up nothing.

ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET (WPF) - Search

Thanks, Kirk

Hi,

The stylx should be created as a mobile style in ArcGIS Pro. If not, geometries in symbols can contain curves (like in the circle from your screen shot) and that’s currently not support in ArcGIS Runtime (hence the validation error).
If you have an existing stylx that has not been created for mobile, you can copy/paste the content into a new mobile stylx and that should fix the symbols.

For more information please see Styles—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

Cheers

Mike

Thanks Michael - that seems to work.

I see that pasting into a mobile stylx file vectorizes the CIMCharactermarkers into CIMVectorMarkers ...

It seems like WPF should be able to use CIMCharactermarkers ... I guess this is not the case.

@Kirk The reason for that is that there is no guarantee the various clients that'll use the symbols have that font installed. So part of making things "mobile" is to ensure the symbols doesn't rely on specific system fonts.

Morten Nielsen‌ I noticed that the dictionary renderer sample actually uses fonts for some of its line symbols.

I can serialize, replace the font family, then reserialize and see the different font when it's rendered.

Can we count on support for fonts on linesymbols to continue?

Without the replacement, they do show as Arial see this:
