[mapguide-users] Creating

[George McLean]

I have a map created in Autodesk's Mapguide Studio with feature data 
coming from a MySQL database. I would like to use this may layout with 
the associated feature styles and scale ranges with data from a 
different MySQL database containing data from another region but stored 
in a similar schema.

I thought I could copy the layers, data connections etc from the 
original and just change the data connection to the MySQL database. I 
can create a connection to the new MySQL database but when I try and 
change the source for the layers, I get a message that states I am 
changing to an incompatible date resource and layer settings will reset 
to the defaults. This of course means I lose all the feature stylings.

Is there a better way to reuse a given map layout and the associated 
layer stylings with new data?

Is there another way to edit the data created by Mapguide Studio that 
might allow me to accomplish this?

Is the data created by studio stored as XML or some other format?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
