PROBLEM

Changing versions clears the snap environment

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Description

ArcMap saves the snapping environment inside of the map document. However, changing the version a layer points to changes the layer's source. When a layer's source changes, snap agents set for that layer are removed.

Cause

Changing the version an ArcSDE layer references in ArcMap is similar to changing the layers source.

Solution or Workaround



Once the version has changed, snap agents that were set for that layer need to be added from within the snap environment dialog.

Alternately, you could write a VBA script to accomplish the same task.
