I have converted annotation from both environments to line shape files or points (with varying degrees of success). The biggest problem I run into is that the offset alternatives for labels relative to lines is somewhat limited at this time in Mapserver. It is my understanding that this will improve in a future release. <br><br>Dean Anderson <br>IT Director <br>Polk County, Oregon <br><br><br><br>>>> "Jacob Rodel" <jacob.rodel@co.todd.mn.us> 11/30/10 5:04 PM >>><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I know this is more of a mapserver thing but I was just
wondering what other people were doing. We manage all of our parcel dimensions,
lot numbers, ect. in AutoCad. From what I understand in order to get them in
my Geomoose application I have to convert to Geodatabase and then label by the
textstring field. Is this similar to what other people are doing or is there a
better way? Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
