Assign Edit Task

Edit tasks support user interaction when placing a feature. A simple example is the ArcFM Manual Angle Setter, which requires the user to set the rotation angle for the symbol when adding a new point feature.

Edit tasks can also be used with other editing tools. Such a combination could prompt the user to click a central point feature (transformer) and several service points. The Radial Edit Task constructs a line feature (conductor) to connect the transformer to each service point. (See Building Custom ArcFM Edit Tasks in the ArcFM Solution Developer Help for more information about customization.) A list of edit tasks provided with ArcFM is available in the Appendix.
