Provide ability to format the Input coordinate (ArcMap) #348

Closed dfoll closed 5 years ago

dfoll commented 7 years ago

Currently you can change the format of the Input, but you can not edit the notation in the way that you can use the Advanced options in the Add New Output Coordinate dialog. This is important, because the style of the Input box also controls the way coordinates in the "List" box are shown. In short. In short I want some control over how coordinates are formatted in the "List" box. image

Current Behavior (video attached)

Note in the video...

  1. The video starts with the Input set to MGRS, a point is collected and it displays as MGRS.
  2. DMS is added as an Output, the list still only displays as MGRS
  3. Input is changed to DMS, the List changes to DMS
  4. A point is collected and both the List and Input display DMS
  5. A second Output is added and formatted to have no separators, degree-marks, minute-marks, or second-marks
  6. The cursor then shows the newly added Output
  7. The cursor then collects another point to show that coordinates are being collected and displayed in the Output properly, according to the newly added Output, but the List retains the formatting from the Input and moves back to the "Edit Properties" button for the Input
  8. Observe that you cannot edit the formatting of the Input

Expected Behavior

You should be able to edit the Input so that the List will display the same coordinate notation as was set in the Output

image The Add New Output Coordinate dialog has a drop-down for Advanced that allows you to edit the notation,

image the Edit Properties dialog for the Input should have the same

requested for ArcGIS Pro as well. #347

mcalamito commented 7 years ago

@dfoll agree with you completely. It is of huge value to have the Output List reflect the coordinate format and notation set by the user. I would be interested and open to talking through approaches to do so should this become a high priority item for a near future release.

I do not think that this is needed. If a user is going to need to format the input format type that type can be added to the output list.

topowright-zz commented 6 years ago

@dfoll based on my last comment do you think this still needs to be done?

dfoll commented 6 years ago

this still needs to be done

lfunkhouser commented 6 years ago

@dfoll please update the original description with the mock-up for clarity of expected design

topowright-zz commented 6 years ago

After speaking with @saip tonight the input coordinate box will allow a user to format coordinates the same way that they are allowed to format coordinates in the output list. The only difference is input coordinate box has a selection called default map units, which is set by the map. The default map coordinates will not be able to be formatted. @dfoll @lfunkhouser

dfoll commented 6 years ago

If it's only the default map units that cannot be formatted, I think that is acceptable

Recently rebuilt CC build 19 and MT build 122 to test

BobBooth commented 6 years ago

I found that the custom formatted input coordinates are inconsistently applied in ArcMap 10.6 with the latest CC build. DMS seems to work correctly. DDM sometimes works. MGRS never works. https://github.com/Esri/coordinate-conversion-addin-dotnet/issues/532

kgonzago commented 6 years ago

Using MT build 126, I verified @BobBooth's comments

dfoll commented 6 years ago

This issue needs to be sent back to @CTLocalGovTeam. Described functionality is not working. The buttons are in place to do this but the functionality does not exist.

Additional repro steps

  1. On the Coordinate Conversion pane click the Edit Properties button next to the input text box.
  2. Highlight MGRS and Custom
  3. Expand Advanced if it is not already expanded
  4. Format the MGRS coordinate with spaces in between each piece of the MGRS coordinate (this is a supported way of supporting coordinates for the output box) image This is what the Edit Properties window looks like after making changes
  5. Click OK
  6. Click some points in the map. _Note that both the Input box and List retain old formatting.
    image
  7. Click the Edit Properties button next to the Input box again. Note that the formatting that was set in step 4 is still applied in the Edit Properties window

@lfunkhouser this looks like an issue that was not delivered

lfunkhouser commented 6 years ago

@dfoll have you discussed this with @saip to provide guidance?

lfunkhouser commented 5 years ago

From #532, MGRS not working for ArcMap. Coordinate Conversion ArcMap custom formatting not applied to MGRS, partially applied DDM

The latest build of Coordinate Conversion supports customization of the format of Input Coordinates (and their display in the List view) if the coordinates are DMS notation. image

For other notations the support is inconsistent. For example, some coordinates in DDM are displayed with the added dashes, and others are not: image

None of the customized coordinates are displayed correctly in MGRS: image

ArcMap 10.6.0 Coordinate Conversion Add In 2.3.1.19 (10/30/18)
