Dropping specific shapes

[John]

Hi,
I am facing issues when dropping specific shapes, I mean by specific, some shapes that are drawn using svg paths; in this case, the dropped shape is either dropped as rectangle or failed to be dropped.
I am using the following code:   
$("#diagram").kendoDropTarget({
    drop: function (e) {
        var item, pos, transformed;
        if (e.draggable.hint) {
            item = e.draggable.hint.data("shape");
            pos = e.draggable.hintOffset;
            pos = new Point(pos.left, pos.top);
            var transformed = diagram.documentToModel(pos);
            item.x = transformed.x;
            item.y = transformed.y;

            diagram.addShape(item);
        }
    }
});

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

My guess here is that we don't support the particular path syntax.

It might be a syntax error as well, but that's easy to rule out.
Just place them in a regular SVG document to see if they show up.

Internally this is handled through the Path.parse method.
There's a snippet in the docs that demonstrates how it works on a sample path definition.
You can run it in the Dojo by clicking the "Edit this example"

Can you send us a sample in the Dojo with the paths that fail to parse?

Thanks for your response.
The path is "M1 10 L 1 0.5 M20 0 L 20 74.5 M0.5 0.5 L 111.5 0.5 111.5 0 111.5 74.5 0 74.5Z M20 38.5 L 111.5 38.5", in addition to the stroke properties, I need to specify the x, y coordinates when dropping the shape.

Regards.

Hello,

The path is parsed successfully so its syntax shouldn't be a problem.
I also tried adding it to the diagram and it seems to work fine.

The coordinates can be set during the shape creation. I've commented the code in the snippet.

Can you spot any differences with your scenario?
