Cast Geometry Activity
Description
The Cast Geometry activity casts a geometry to a specific type.
Usage
A workflow could use the Display Form activity with a Geometry Picker form element to capture a point geometry. The type of the Geometry Picker’s value output is esri.Geometry (3.x, 4.x)*, not esri.Point (3.x, 4.x)*, even though the Geometry Picker is configured to capture a point. As a result, using the geometry as the input to an activity that expects a point geometry results in a type validation error in Designer. For example, using the geometry as the Location input to the Reverse Geocode activity would result in an error. To avoid the error, first use the Cast Geometry activity to return a properly typed point.
Inputs
