esri/views/layers/DimensionLayerView
Represents the LayerView of a DimensionLayer after it has been added to a Map in a SceneView.
The dimension layer view controls whether the dimensions in its associated DimensionLayer.source can be created or edited interactively.
// create new layer and add it to the scene view
const dimensionLayer = new DimensionLayer();
view.map.add(dimensionLayer);
// retrieve layer view for the layer
view.whenLayerView(dimensionLayer).then(dimensionLayerView => {
// allow existing dimensions in the layer to be edited by selecting them
dimensionLayerView.interactive = true;
// start adding new dimensions interactively
dimensionLayerView.createLengthDimensions();
});
The layer view also allows the length measured by each dimension to be retrieved.
// retrieve measured results from the layer view
view.whenLayerView(dimensionLayer).then(dimensionLayerView => {
const results = dimensionLayerView.results;
});

Property Details
-
interactive
interactive Boolean
-
Set to
true
to enable interactivity for the layer. If the layer's source includes any dimensions, they become selectable and editable.- Default Value:false
-
layer
layer DimensionLayerreadonly
-
The layer being viewed.
-
results
results Collection<LengthDimensionResult>readonly
-
Results for each dimension in the layer source.
Given a dimension object, the results collection can be searched:
const result = dimensionLayerView.results.find((result) => result.dimension === dimensionObject);
-
selectedDimension
selectedDimension LengthDimension
-
The selected dimension. If interactive is
true
, any dimension in the layer can be selected by clicking on it in the view. As long as interactive remainstrue
, the properties of the selected dimension can be edited by interacting with manipulators in the view.
-
suspended
suspended Booleanreadonly
-
Value is
true
if the layer is suspended (i.e., layer will not redraw or update itself when the extent changes).
-
updating
InheritedPropertyupdating Booleanreadonly
Inherited from LayerView -
Indicates if the layer view is making any updates that will impact what is displayed on the map. For example, this value is
true
when renderer, definitionExpression, filter or effect is changed or if the layer view is in the process of the fetching data.Watch dataUpdating property instead to only know when the data has been updated (e.g. to run statistics query on all feature available in the layer view).
- Default Value:false
Example// Check for the first time layerView.updating becomes false. Then query for // features that are visible within the view associated with the layer view. await reactiveUtils.whenOnce(() => !layerView.updating); const query = layerView.createQuery(); query.geometry = layerView.view.extent; const result = layerView.queryFeatures(query);
-
Inherited from LayerView
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.28LayerView since 4.0, view added at 4.28. -
Example
// Check for the first time layerView.updating becomes false. Then query for // features that are visible within the view associated with the layer view. await reactiveUtils.whenOnce(() => !layerView.updating); const query = layerView.createQuery(); query.geometry = layerView.view.extent; const result = layerView.queryFeatures(query);
-
visible
InheritedPropertyvisible Boolean
Inherited from LayerView -
When
true
, the layer is visible in the view. Value of this property is inherited from thelayer.visible
unless the developer overrides it. ThelayerView.visible
will take precedence overlayer.visible
if both properties are set.- Default Value:true
-
visibleAtCurrentScale
InheritedPropertyvisibleAtCurrentScale Booleanreadonly
Inherited from LayerViewSince: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30LayerView since 4.0, visibleAtCurrentScale added at 4.30. -
When
true
, the layer is visible in the view at the current scale. This applies to layers that haveminScale
andmaxScale
properties set.Known Limitations
- This property is not supported in 3D SceneView tiled layers.
- Default Value:true
- See also
-
visibleAtCurrentTimeExtent
InheritedPropertyvisibleAtCurrentTimeExtent Booleanreadonly
Inherited from LayerViewSince: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30LayerView since 4.0, visibleAtCurrentTimeExtent added at 4.30. -
When
true
, the layer is visible in the view's timeExtent. This applies to layers that have a visibilityTimeExtent.- Default Value:true

Method Details
-
Inherited from Accessor
-
Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.
// Manually manage handles const handle = reactiveUtils.when( () => !view.updating, () => { wkidSelect.disabled = false; }, { once: true } ); this.addHandles(handle); // Destroy the object this.destroy();
ParametershandleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.
groupKey *optionalKey identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.
-
createLengthDimensions
createLengthDimensions(options){Promise}
-
Starts the interactive creation of new dimensions and adds them to the layer source.
The creation process will finish when the user double-clicks the mouse or presses the escape key. In order to otherwise stop the creation process, pass an abort signal as an argument when calling the method.
let abortController; view.whenLayerView(dimensionLayer).then(dimensionLayerView => { // create a new controller abortController = new AbortController(); // pass the controller as an argument to the interactive creation method dimensionLayerView.createLengthDimensions(abortController); // abort the controller to stop the creation process abortController.abort(); });
Calling this method sets interactive to
true
.Parametersoptions ObjectoptionalAn object specifying additional options.
Specificationsignal AbortSignaloptionalAbort signal which can be used to cancel creation.
ReturnsType Description Promise A promise which resolves when creation is completed, or rejects if creation is cancelled.
-
hasHandles
InheritedMethodhasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Inherited from Accessor -
Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
ParametergroupKey *optionalA group key.
ReturnsType Description Boolean Returns true
if a named group of handles exist.Example// Remove a named group of handles if they exist. if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) { obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates"); }
-
isFulfilled
InheritedMethodisFulfilled(){Boolean}
Inherited from LayerView -
isFulfilled()
may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is fulfilled (either resolved or rejected). If it is fulfilled,true
will be returned.ReturnsType Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been fulfilled (either resolved or rejected).
-
isRejected
InheritedMethodisRejected(){Boolean}
Inherited from LayerView -
isRejected()
may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is rejected. If it is rejected,true
will be returned.ReturnsType Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been rejected.
-
isResolved
InheritedMethodisResolved(){Boolean}
Inherited from LayerView -
isResolved()
may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is resolved. If it is resolved,true
will be returned.ReturnsType Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been resolved.
-
Inherited from Accessor
-
Removes a group of handles owned by the object.
ParametergroupKey *optionalA group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.
Exampleobj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group obj.removeHandles("handle-group"); obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");
-
when
InheritedMethodwhen(callback, errback){Promise}
Inherited from LayerView -
when()
may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: acallback
function and anerrback
function. Thecallback
executes when the instance of the class loads. Theerrback
executes if the instance of the class fails to load.ParametersReturnsType Description Promise Returns a new promise for the result of callback
that may be used to chain additional functions.Example// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same way let view = new MapView(); view.when(function(){ // This function will execute once the promise is resolved }, function(error){ // This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error });
