I moved to 1.0, I've been rebuilding all of my maps today, so am already a
little grumpy to have to go through the tedium of creating a bunch of thematic
layers over again. Autodesk, can you assure us that this is the only time
we will have to rebuild our maps from scratch due to repository structure
changes?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

It is unfortunate that users of the Preview version were not warned of the
strong possibility that the feature source, layer and map resource schemas
would change. These changes were necessary to add functionality, fix
defects and coordinate data formats with other software. Those schemas
have been stable for some time now, and there is no expectation that they will
change before the release of MapGuide Enterprise. However, I am not personally
in a position to “assure” you of this. As mentioned in
another post, migration assistance will be provided if the schemas change after
the initial <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Enterprise</st1:place></st1:City>
release.</span></font></i></b><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span

<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
have several layers that share the same custom color either for line color or
for label ghosting. I picked it from the RGB chart and added it to the
custom color palette. Well, Studio crashed on me and the custom palette
is empty now. Is there a way to find out what color a line (or whatever)
has? If you click on style for that definition, then go to the color
pull-down, it shows the custom color there, but going to More Colors to show
the RGB palette displays the palette defaulted to 0,0,0.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Thank you for pointing out this shortcoming. We will investigate
alternatives for displaying symbolization RGB values in the MapGuide Studio UI.<o:p></o:p></span></font></i></b></p>
<p><b><i><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:navy;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic'>You can see
the color values in your symbolizations by selecting File->Save as Xml…
to save a layer to a file. In that file you should be able to locate the
color definitions, which are eight character hexadecimal ARGB strings.</span></font></i></b><font
