Display Search polygon with DisplayCaptureGeometry

I'm using the DisplayCaptureGeometry tool to get the search envelope and I'd like that envelope to display on the map after the results are displayed. "Show Captured Geometry" is set to "TRUE", but it doesn't display once the results display.  Am I missing something?

  Ethan,

  In the same boat with this one.... I have it set to true also and it does not display anything. I get around it by creating a temporary markup with the:

  RunExternalCommand activity - which runs AddMarkup, and passes in the resultant Geometry captured in the DisplayCapturedGeometry tool. 

  At least now the user can see what they are adding, editing etc... you could also use the SelectFeatures activity... horses for courses, but yeah - would like to know the purpose of this setting also!!

   

   

  cheers

  Gareth (any anyone else), I found that using the "AddTemporaryMarkupGeometry" worked better for my needs because I could put a "ClearTemporaryMarkup" at the top of my sequence such that if a user reruns the workflow, it will clear the previous envelope automatically.

   

  Thanks again!

  all good... I just use a "ClearMarkupQuiet" so not 'really' sure of the benefits or not of either approach ; ) 

  I guess mine gets added to the layerlist and your's doesn't??

  "ClearMarkup" and "ClearMarkupQuiet" both wipe out the cosmetic drawings layer completely. "Quiet" does it without warning the user. The "TemporaryMarkup" options preserver whatever other markups the user may have and only deletes the markup related to the search.

  Setting the "Show Captured Geometry" to True worked for me, but I was wondering if anyone has a solution as to how to take this off before running my report?  I have my workflow set up to prompt the user to select one or more parcels, highlight them, then add them to a report.  As it's set up now, the map on the report shows the parcels highlighted but also shows the captured geometry.  All I want shown is the highlighted parcels!  Any ideas?

  I've tried setting the Show Captured Geometry to false and using the Add Markup command, but the markup doesn't show up until after you click "Continue" on the capture geometry prompt....which doesn't help much.

   

  Thanks!
