Enhanced Draw and Measure Widget issue

TimHayes — Fri, 10 Oct 2014 16:05:25 GMT

When I need to Draw a Line using this widget; once the Draw and Measure Tool Window is opened:

- I click on the Draw Line Tool

- Then, in order to get the line to draw I need to double left click the mouse in rapid succession inside the map window at the point where you want to draw a line. Then I need to single left click the mouse to start drawing the actual line.

- If I do not do this, then I will simply be grabbing and moving the map with the closed fist mouse cursor; no line will draw.

This only affects the Draw Line Tool, all the other tools in the Enhanced Draw and Measure Widget work like they are supposed too, meaning you do not have to do what I mention here to get them to work.

Any ideas?

Tim,

Do you have a defaulttool set in the eDrawWidget.xml? If you do then when the widget is opened it is already set to begin drawing on the map without choosing the draw geometry type button.

Robert,

I set the widget to default to polyline. I no longer have the issue I mentioned earlier. Very weird, not sure why it is like this. If I have the widget set to any other shape the issue comes back. But, having the default set to polyline will work perfect for my users.

Thanks!
