Hi @MichaelDavidsonPM  That’s a fair point. I’d like you to consider however, providing the user the option. On deletion of the Esri layer you could prompt the user: there is an associated cad layer xyzx. Would you like to remove this also? The user can choose to or not, depending on whether they have added additional features. They should know if they have.  This could be a good middle ground, of simplifying the cad layer management, while providing a decision point for the user to think, is this what I want. cheers, Marc ...

Absolutely understand. thanks for replying, I’ll find someone who can help me build it. cheers for sharing your work! ... View more

Hi @Brian_McLeer  I tried to deploy this to my ArcGIS Enterprise Portal, but it appears that the widget only supports developer edition as there is no dist folder only src.  Are you able to release compiled versions of the widget suitable for ArcGIS Enterprise? Thanks, Marc ... View more

Hi @Sara_Courter  Is there any way to override the geodesic calculations to use the projected coordinate system of the input data? The geodesic nature of the calculations and the resulting slight differences in the output from what is expected in the PCS is causing issues with our workflows. Example: In NZ the inner horizontal surface and conical surfaces are defined from the edge of the strip, not from the runway centerline. I can approximate this quite well by offsetting the runway to either side by half the strip width (eg. 280/2 = 140 either side). However all the ArcGIS editing tools work in planar coordinates, not geodesic, and so my new runway centerlines don't line up with the generated OIS runway strip edges. These issues just compound at greater distances, as I mentioned in my original post. Another example: say we want to generate labeled points showing distances from the end of the runway strip. This measures from the geometry, which uses the PCS: In my previous response I said 3.5m over 15km isn't enough to be concerned about, but given that there are going to be a bunch of little issues that potentially arise from it, I'm starting to think otherwise.

Hi @Sara_Courter and @Koeller_Christine_A_-_DOT  Of course you are both right, when measuring in geodesic I get the correct distance. We created this surface using Precision Approach Category I Code Number 3 4 I am interested to know what the standard approach for this sort of work is.  We have traditionally built our surfaces in CAD, and I don't know if this has come up before.  To be honest 3.5m across 15km isn't worth worrying about, however it is good to know this is the cause. Thanks for your help, Marc ... View more

We narrowed it down to a web Mercator hosted feature service in a non-web Mercator scene. Try adding some services to a scene where the projections don’t match and see if you can trigger the error. ... View more

It's unfortunate that annotation is not supported in Vector tiles.  It seems to align well with the cartographic nature of vector tile layers as a basemap.  ... View more

Hi @KimiaK  I am planning an upgrade from 11.3 to 11.5 This issue has me concerned. I would like to upgrade knowing a patch is coming. Can you please confirm if this will be addressed in a patch soon, or if it will be delayed until ArcGIS Enterprise 12? Thanks, Marc ... View more
