Drawing in ArcGIS Web Applications
The Draw widget enables end users to draw simple graphics and text onto the map display. It provides basic sketching and redlining functionality for ArcGIS web applications. For example, to snap a node to a node of another feature, press the Ctrl key to enable snapping. It also provides some measurement capability by displaying measurement values (if activated) for drawn features: lengths for lines, and areas and perimeters for polygons. When the widget is initially activated, the end user is presented with a dialog box that contains nine feature creation tools. From left to right, they are as follows:
point
polyline
freehand line
rectangle
circle
ellipse
polygon
freehand polygon
text

Drawing tools are saved to the layer list widget in each session. If the page is refreshed, all drawing features will be cleared from the user's session.
When adding text, the text will be centered on where the point was clicked on the map.
Measurements are added to the center of features.
Please view the video below to see an example of using the drawing tools.

Note: For measurement options to appear for a feature, they need to be set before a feature is created to display on the map. Line features have a length, polygon features have an area and a perimeter.
To remove the newly added feature (or text), click Clear drawings (Caution: This will remove all features and text from the display).
Measurements are not exact and are made using a Web Mercator projection.
