Receive GIS Events

OpenSpirit enables applications to exchange GIS data using events. Point, polyline, and polygon features can be broadcast from applications that have been enabled to send OpenSpirit GIS events, such as Schlumberger's Petrel application. The OpenSpirit extension will listen for and receive GIS feature selection events when connected to OpenSpirit with event listening enabled.

 Note, the OpenSpirit extension's preference settings can be used to turn off listening for GIS feature selection events independent of the Toggle Event Listening button state.

A progress window will appear while the feature layers from the received event are being imported into ArcGIS Pro.

The progress window will go away when the feature layers have been imported. The feature layers received in the event are placed in active map's contents tree under a new group named GIS Events.

The Feature class settings section of the OpenSpirit extension preferences determines how feature layers are handled when receiving additional GIS feature events containing feature layer names that match the name of previously imported events. Features from the received feature layers are either added to existing layers that have matching names, or new layers with the same name are created in the GIS Events group.
