Snapping in IE10 + IE11

[ØyvindIdland]

Hi,

we suddenly discovered that snapping doesn't work in either drawing or edit toolbars when using IE10. We are currently using 3.7, but doesn't seem to work with 3.8 either when trying that. I then tried using the official samples, and they seem to have the same problem.

Example (use CTRL to activate snapping):  http://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/samples/ed_selectionmode/

I then tried using the F12 development tools in IE, and forced the browser to version 9. This makes the snapping work again.

One workaround could be to force the browser to IE9 mode using meta tags, but that will break some HTML5 functionality in the application.

Anybody else having this issue ?

This is still not working in 3.9, neither in my app or in the online examples:

A workaround for this issue is to set the Compatibility View on the client:.

Are there any updates to this issue? Changing the compatibility mode isn't always an option on some embedded projects.

It has been fixed internally for next release.

In the meantime, I was working on a 3.9 application level fix that I should probably share here.

Using the following sample:
http://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/sandbox/sandbox.html?sample=ed_selectionmode
https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/jssamples/ed_selectionmode.html

Enter the following code before calling editorWidget.startup();

editorWidget._drawToolbar._mouse = true;

This may or may not work in all browser/device combinations but it seemed to do the trick for simple test cases.

Let me know if this helps at all.

I see that 3.10 is out but I didn't see any mention of this. Is there a status update? 

[JonathanUihlein]

The fix may not have made the patch notes, but it should be in.

I can check on this further when I return from the UC.

Are you still having issues?

[JoshHevenor]

I did a quick check of my project with the new API and the snapping looks like it works in IE11. Exciting!

Hi Jon,

thanks! This works indeed for "esri/toolbars/draw" (by setting _mouse=true before i to activate() on it).


Is there an equivalent fix for "esri/toolbars/edit" too ?

snapping for 'edit' tool doesn't work in IE 11. It works well in Chrome.
