Description

Scenario 1

I have a polyline. I create it in a random spot on the map and then drag the vertices to where I want them to be.

Expectation
  • Object position is adjusted based on the first vertex.
  • Individual vertices show up in the properties and can be manually adjusted for precision.
Reality
  • Object position stays where I originally placed it
  • Vertices move relative to that position
  • Vertices are not able to be precisely adjusted

Scenario 2

I have a polygon. I create it in a random spot on the map and then drag the vertices to where I want them to be.

Expectation
  • Object position is dynamically adjusted based on the top-left most vertex.
  • Individual vertices show up in the properties and can be manually adjusted for precision.
Reality
  • Object position stays where I originally placed it
  • Vertices move relative to that position
  • Vertices are not able to be precisely adjusted

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the polyline and polygon object-position and vertex-property handling in the editor, then compare both scenarios with the stated expectations; done means position updates as specified and individual vertices can be precisely edited.
