I have had the same experience. I suspect the features.add can only be used
to add to the map. Maybe you need to use a simple VB collection rather than
a layer collection if you simply want to hold a collection of features
without putting them on the map.

Subject: MI A simple operation - not so simple!
Why? Oh Why? - Adding a Feature
I continually come up against this problem...
I am trying to create a line feature and add it to the feature collection
"ftrs"
It's not a real map layer - it's a copy of it - so why do I continually get
the message - "Operation not allowed on standalone feature object?????
Dim nftr as new feature
Dim ftrs As New Features
Set ftrs = MapXMap.Layers.Item(ROADS_LAYER).NoFeatures 'ROADS_LAYER
contains line objects
nftr.Attach MapXMap ' This makes it no
longer standalone
nftr.Type = miFeatureTypeLine
nftr.Parts.Add newPnts 'This is a collection of
points making a line
ftrs.Add nftr 'This should add to the collection
but doesnt
I dont want to add the features to a map layer. I want to build a collection
of features.
Anyne come across this - or can suggest what I'm doing wrong?
