I know how to add an point icon/graphic to a map by clicking the map or with coordinates in code. I was wondering if that icon/graphic could then be moved across the map a bit and placed somewhere else with a mouse click-drag or something like that. Thanks for any help provided.

OK, much thanks. This is pretty much what I figured.

Not sure if this is even possible but I was wondering if a point ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer or a FeatureLayer can be reduced in size as the user zooms out? I have many points of a layer that look great when zoomed in at a more local level but clutter and cover the map when zoomed out at the national level since they maintain their size. Much thanks for any help that can be provided. David

Is your PC several years old? On an older PC in a meeting room my Vector Tiles were completely wacked with parallel stripes. So I remote accessed my newer PC and they then looked fine.

Yes, it is only for Chrome. Sorry, but I am not sure what can be done with IE and FF.

I used this same example to hover over a point feature layer. Just use the name of your Feature Layer. Instead of southCarolinaCounties.on("mouse-over", function(evt){... Just do yourPointFeatureLayer.on("mouse-over", function(evt){...

You can then quickly and very easily convert Screencastify's output format file to a more universal MP4 file using Apoersoft's Video Converter Studio. See Video Converter Studio - Convert all video and audio formats . It's about $35 and really worth getting if your going to be doing this kind of thing often.

A quick way is to use Chrome's free Screencastify extension and capture the animation.

In IE, check top see if your Compatibility View is checked in the Tools menu. If it is, turn it off and refresh your page. Having Compatibility View turned on (seems to be on by default most times in IE) essentially ruins web mapping apps, especially if you are using vector tiles.

OK, thanks. I was trying to find samples that are not tied into ArcGIS Online, but more just straight standalone apps like the one I mention above: Simple ArcGIS JavaScript Story Map Template – Ian Broad This is great since all the code is in these files: 1) index.html 2) style.css 3) script.js 4) story.js

Thanks so much for your response and advice. Much appreciated. I was just seeing what was out there in terms of what other people have done. Yes, a GP service would be great and I eventually may do this ( I have coworkers who have done this already). I also happened to find an older client-side example ( see my above message with links to js2Shapefile code). Have never created a GP service before but looks like this would be a good case to learn and start. But other client-side examples would be great to see as well.

I believe I found something. The code sample from the broken links in js2shapefile is available in this GitHub:GitHub - borisdev/js2shapefile: Automatically exported from code.google.com/p/js2shapefile. I forked the repo, downloaded, and this sample actually works: js2shapefile/Test_EsriDrawToShapefile.html at master · borisdev/js2shapefile · GitHub . Uses Draw Toolbar to create lines, points, and polygons and can save all at once into their shapefiles. Pretty cool! After downloading the shapefile(s), you just need to assign them the Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere projection. Once you have that .prj file, you can copy and rename to match others. Tool just creates .dbf, .shp, .shx files. Code is 4 years old and uses ArcGIS JS 2.6, but is a simple app and a good starting point to upgrade to 3.16 and rework/modify the GUI. Would be good to be able to name shapefiles you save. Also needs to "Clear Graphics" button, only way to draw and export additional shapefiles is to refresh page.

Yes, this is a bit over my head. I, like Michael, would love to have something that Advanced Draw tool with a "Save to shapefile" button.

‎05-11-2016

If you get this working, can you post the code here? I am very interested in being able to work in Advanced Draw with a simple save button.

‎05-11-2016

OK, I found all those you list previously. The example links in the JS2Shapefile page just give me 404 page errors, which is really too bad, since these look good. Would really love to see "modification of the Draw Toolbar sample to let you save the results to a shapefile." The other links you list above I checked out but I didn't get very far. All looks a bit confusing and did not see exactly where one can save data after drawing. I LOVE the Advanced Draw tool. Just needs a Save to Shapefile button and I'd be golden. Seems like somebody out there must have done this. Thanks, David
