color=#0000ff size=2>There are many potential approaches to this depending on
the source data. Are these 10,000 maps actually tiled maps that you would
like to display on one MapGuide map? Such as individual USGS T-R grids
that are edge-matched? Or, are they completely independent of one another
and would be separate MapGuide maps? Are there consistent layering
standards for all of the DWG's?</FONT></SPAN></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Cambria','serif'">I have a lot of maps (approx 10,000) that
were created in AutoCAD. The dimensions are 3000' x 2000' and were created using
USGS base. I would like to bring all of this data into Mapguide and was
wondering what the best approach would be. I have AutoCAD, AutoCAD Map 3D,
Mapguide studio to use. I am just not sure if I should create larger files or
try to move some of the data to a database. <BR>I would still like to edit the
maps and update the server when necessary. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
