7 years ago I'm not sure I completely understand the issue - are you trying to determine if a symbol is a Point, Line, or Area symbol?
If so, there is a tag for that (that is actually always located in the index [:-3] if that helps): ex:
Those "GCT_" (I think it stood for "Geometry Conversion/Transformation") tags+cases are just case where a special drawing/point ordering rule was specified in the standard.

7 years ago Hi Chris!
Thank you for answer!
No, i´m not trying to determining the geometry type. I saw the tag and we use that. (Process the complete item list (~6800) after dictionary is loaded to have a map key to geometry type. If required the geometry tye is available synchron, not only asynchron.)
But back to our question:
The "GCT_" means "Geometry Conversion/Transformation" - sounds likly. As i understand a missing gct_string means default rule. And the default rule is defined by the geometry type (point, polyline, polygon).
Is that correct?

7 years ago That is correct, if there is not a "GCT_" string present, then there are no special drawing rules/constraints that apply to that (line/area) symbol.

7 years ago Hi Chris! That´s sounds fine!
BTW: I´m very happy with this forum (and especially your support) 👍
Thx Norbert
Summary of Issue Encountered:
The Esri Dictionary/DictionarySymbolStyle (MIL2525D) contains about 6800 resultItems. We reduce them to an amount of ~1900 items relevant for us: so-called Rde-Items. (by skipping frame symbol, graphical modifier and so on...)
These Rde-Items can be divided into different geometry types: Point, Polyline and Polygon.
The Rde-Items of geometrytype Polyline and Polygon contains a gct_-String like these: if (QLatin1String("gct_arrow") if (QLatin1String("gct_arrow_with_offset") if (QLatin1String("gct_parallel_lines") if (QLatin1String("gct_parallel_lines_mid_line") if (QLatin1String("gct_two_line") if (QLatin1String("gct_arrow_with_tail") if (QLatin1String("gct_open_triangle") if (QLatin1String("gct_freehand_line") if (QLatin1String("gct_freehand_arrow") if (QLatin1String("gct_freehand_reverse_arrow") if (QLatin1String("gct_freehand_u") if (QLatin1String("gct_rectangular_1_pt") if (QLatin1String("gct_circular") if (QLatin1String("gct_rectangular") if (QLatin1String("gct_circle") if (QLatin1String("gct_hook") if (QLatin1String("gct_horns") if (QLatin1String("gct_t") if (QLatin1String("gct_triple_arrow") if (QLatin1String("gct_two_line_3_or_4_pt") if (QLatin1String("gct_u_or_t_shape") if (QLatin1String("gct_parallel_lines_with_ticks")
These gct_-String is necessary to create an adequate user interface / rubberband of this advanced symbol.
Unfortunately there are 338 Rde-Items where the gct_-String is missing.... Therefore the adequate user interface / rubberband in undefined….
Do we miss something?
