[mapguide-users] RE: Alias to external DWF files

[GIS4U]

In the DWF data source xml is the <Name> tag:

  <Sheet>
    <Name>com.autodesk.dwf.ePlot_PzUXam3FOUiHAfx0Jiafig</Name>

Note that the 'PzUXam3FOUiHAfx0Jiafig' portion of the name changes with
every DWF that's generated so you have to get that part of the name from the
DWF itself and replace it in the data source xml programmatically.

Hope that helps,
Jonathon
