<p class=MsoNormal>OK, I have MapGuide v 1.2 installed and working. Now I would
like to put it to use.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have many AutoCAD maps done on USGS base that I would like
to move into this system.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The maps are from the telecommunications industry and have many
defined blocks with attributes and layers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Right now I have AutoCAD and AutoCAD Map both 2008 and have
ordered the AutoCAD MapGuide Studio trial CD.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Question 1. Do I need MapGuide Studio to do this or does
MapGuide Web Studio have the same functionality?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Question 2. What is a good source of information for
learning how to do this? Are there any tutorials or documents related to this? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Question 3. Am I posting this to the right group or is there
another one for these types of questions?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any source of information that you may feel pertinent is
welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
