HOW TO

Configure different output spatial references for different print templates in ArcGIS Experience Builder

Last Published: September 6, 2022

Summary

When using the Print widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder, the default output spatial reference is the WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere with well-known ID (WKID) 102100. In some instances, when the experience contains a web map with different basemaps for users to select and print, a different output spatial reference is required according to the suitability of each basemap to achieve the best print result. This article describes the workflow to do so using different print templates in the Print widget.
