Hi,

I've configured a form in GMSC 2016, which contains GE_NEWPOLYGON geometry action. How can I run this action?

Hi mzebrows,

A FormAction button is required to use the Geometry Action.

here is example I use to capture a new point geometry

IG.captureGeometry()

and how it looks in FormSettings .xml

<FormAction name="CaptureGeometry" label="CaptureGeometry" editable="true" visible="true" action="SCRIPT[IG.captureGeometry()]" />

here is a link to more information on this and more ways to interact with GMSC directly using script actions

Ok, but what the MyDigitize() function is doing?

[sclow]

Yes of course this should be explained. I used too personal an example in my previous reply.

I have updated now the reply to reflect the default way to accomplish this. Please see that post for the information I provide.

Ok, Now I understand.

But is it possible to call creating/editing geometry without a form that have Table field filled?

I mean is it possible to create an action that calls geometry operations without form?

[sclow]

As far as I know this is not possible.

You can have a form that doesn't have visible fields (ID field must be present, but can be hidden) and only the configured FormAction button, but this FormAction has to be defined in the form.

Hi,

it is possible even if not recommended, please check this post. You may check if database redlinining is relevant to what you want to achieve.

HTH,
