Can't move the circle on the map after creating it and add it on the SkechViewModel graphic layer

Question

Hi, I am using SketchViewModel to draw shapes on the map, but since you can't really specify the radius of a circle, I have to create a circle using the Circle class with Center and Radius and add it on the SketchViewModel graphic layer. But the problem is, once I create the circle and add it on the map, I can enter the edit mode to select the circle (extent box shows, graphic is highlighted...) BUT, I can't move the circle to other location like the graphic I created use SketchViewModel. What did I miss? Can anyone help me?

THanks!

Hi there,

What you are seeing is right. SketchViewModel can create points, lines and polygons. I created a simple test app for you where

1. I am creating a point using a sketch view model.

2. Then create a buffer around the point with a specified distance and unit (1000 km).

3. User then click on a point to select it and move it

4. As user moves the point over the map, I recalculate the buffer and adjust the buffer.

This app was inspired by this sample.

Hope this helps,
