Ability to define a KML icon <hotSpot>

[GeoffroyRicher-Lalonde]

Drawing a new point, the placemark's <hotSpot> (anchor point) will always be at the bottom center. It makes sense if you use a pin icon:

It would be nice to be able to adjust the icon anchor point directly at the creation of the point.

Thank you.

Hi @GeoffroyRicher-Lalonde ,

I'm glad to share that the `<hotSpot>` / anchor point property will be supported in ArcGIS Earth V2.3.  You'll be able to select presets or specify the anchor position. Please keep tuned on the next version.

Thanks.

Sharon

The default combination should be :
