ArcSDEGridSnapper

Category: Manipulators

Simulates the ArcSDE conversion on a feature by performing ArcSDE translation, scaling, and coordinate snapping. Also removes duplicate vertices resulting from snapping multiple formerly separate vertices to the same grid point. These coordinates will also be recorded in a list attribute.

If the feature was an aggregate feature, the ArcSDE conversion is executed on each geometry in the aggregate feature individually.

The ArcSDE simulation is executed only when all coordinates of the geometry are within the valid range defined by the ArcSDE format. Otherwise, the conversion is cancelled and an error attribute is added to the feature. Note that illegal geometries, such as areas with dangles, will not be checked for validity on the ArcSDE format.

Note: Arcs and ellipses passed through the ArcSDEGridSnapper will be stroked into lines; this matches the behavior of the ArcSDE writer, which does not support the storage of these types of geometries.
