I read the following line in the release of 3.6:

"Query and Search widgets now have support for line symbology on polygon features.  Search widget now supports setting symbology per layer???s results."

Does this mean that when a polygon is selected, it can show a line graphic instead of a polygon graphic?  If so, this would solve the issue where the selection graphics (despite being transparent) cover up annotation below it when printing. (though this may be a fault in the Advanced Print SOE widget - I'm not sure if this happens in the relatively new built-in print widget as I haven't tried it out yet)

Robert, will this be implemented in your eSearch?

It might be time for me to update from 3.0!

Eric,

   I am about to test this but as far as the release notes state, there should no longer be an issue using the OTB print widget and eSearch selections.

Eric,

   So it looks like they fixed one part of the issue but the selection transparency is still an issue and the polygon outline is missing.

Yes, this was added to help address issues with multiple transparent graphics causing problems in addition to what you described with annotation as well.

Thanks.

The polygon outline is missing?  Isn't that what was supposedly added?

Eric,

  OK, so the outline is not missing it is just under the fill for the polygon is you do not have its alpha set to 0.

Here is an image of my testing results. Left image is what shows in Viewer, right is pdf output from print widget. Top is with simplefill and alpha of 0.5 and Bottom is simplefill with alpha of 0.

Heather,

   Do you know if the fill alpha issue is going to get fixed or at least if someone is aware of this and is looking into it (I understand that this might be a Server team issue)?

The use of alpha would certainly be nice but I'm glad that there is at least the line option.

I'll await news of eSearch for 3.6 and update my application at that time.

thanks for the confimation

Robert,

When using the OOTB print widget, or the PCHPrintSOE, the selection graphic is not showing up on the print at all for me.  At 3.0 it showed but covered up the underlying annotation.  In 3.6, besides it not showing, any annotation I have displayed shows up duplicated in the print.

Somewhat related...any graphics (draw or measure widgets) shown on the map do not show up on the printSOE.  They do show on the OOTB widget however.

Is this something on my end or is this the case for everyone?

Eric,

  I only tested the eSearch not the OTB search or query widgets. As far as the PrintSOE you will have to communicate with the developer for that.
