Snapping of Shapefiles Imported into GEONIS Does Not Work

Question

Why does snapping of shapefiles imported into GEONIS not work?

Problem

GPS recordings (points / polylines) are read into GEONIS as shapefiles. When snapping is enabled for these files, the following error message appears:

The problem occurs both when activating the "Points" layer and when activating the "Lines" layer under the "GEONIS snapping environment settings" tab.

Solution

However, this only happens if in GEONIS Administrator under "Application Settings" in the "Snapping" section the "User-specific" field is checked (regardless of the setting of the "All Users" field).

Therefore, it is recommended to hide the "User-specific" field.
