color=#0000ff size=2>No, there is no way to export from MapGuide Open or
Enterprise to DWG. You could potentially write a custom application that
exported all of the viewable vector data to SDF or Shape files or spatial
databases using FDO. But, to get it into DWG format, you would have to
rely on AutoCAD API's since DWG is not exposed via FDO. Or, you could look
at semi-automating the process using Safe Software FME. Safe does have a
product which does something similar called Spatial Direct, <A

but as far as I know this has not been ported for use with the newer MapGuide as
of yet. And, it would not be open source and has traditionally been rather
expensive (around $10k).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=359471801-08022007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry for the basic
question. Have been doing a lot of research but haven't been able to find an
answer. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=359471801-08022007><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Is MGOS able to
export the active Map Window to a DWG for instance?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=359471801-08022007><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) If so, does
anybody have any sample code/ideas for how it might be done?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
