Adding features AND snapping in a workflow?

Hi Latituders,

I've gone down the road of creating workflows to streamline the process of adding features.  Generally, I don't want to bother users with learning what all those buttons do on the Edit toolbar.  But now I'm finding that the snapping capability of the Edit toolbar isn't there.  It looks like the CaptureGeometry task just captures the click locations.

Does anyone know of a workaround?  Latitude: Is there any chance that a future release this task could include the capability of recognizing a snap and modify the captured geometry accordingly?

  Dave,

  You can do the snapping in the workflow yourself. Looking at the functionality of "snapping" it is the following:

  • User designates a layer to snap to
  • User adds new feature.
  • System determines click is within threshold to existing designated feature
  • System moves point to match exactly with existing

  Following this logic, you could have the user add a feature, then the workflow take each vertex in the geometry and match it with the target snapping layer, then moving that vertex if it is within a point close enough. This would loop through the vertices with a buffer "query" command selecting features close by to match vertices.

  In our situation, the user enters the point via a form asking for the coordinates.  is there a way to cause snapping using the latlong form entry. maybe after the user clicks next?
