Hello everyone,
I’m working on a project where I need to convert CAD files (DWG) to GeoJSON format using a geoprocessing service. The service works as expected when I test it in the ArcGIS Map Viewer—it returns the correct GeoJSON output. However, when I try to run the same service using the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript, the output is an empty GeoJSON.
Here’s a brief overview of my setup:
Front-End Code (HTML + JavaScript):

I would greatly appreciate any help in identifying why the service returns an empty GeoJSON when run through the JavaScript SDK but works fine in the ArcGIS Map Viewer.
Thanks in advance for your support!
