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="#DEFAULT"></o> </p>
