<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN class=344293709-18122007>I'm beginning to
thing that I'm not going to get anywhere with this tool. I've seen
comments on the list that indicate that you need the commercial Autodesk product
to actually make progress. Certainly, I'm finding that after getting the
server and demo up and running, I've hit a wall. What would really have
helped would have been an end to end tutorial about building a sample
application but I haven't found anything.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I've managed to install the mapguide server and
have the phpdemo up and running. I now want to try to create something
using my own data and I'm trying to use the Open Source Web Studio tool to
create this but really getting nowhere.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I downloaded the world_borders files from here <A
href="http://ioc.unesco.org/Oceanteacher/OceanTeacher2/07_Examples/10_MapGIS/ShapeFiles/vmap0/">http://ioc.unesco.org/Oceanteacher/OceanTeacher2/07_Examples/10_MapGIS/ShapeFiles/vmap0/</A></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I then created my own feature source and tried to
upload the shp file but nothing happened.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>Can anyone help?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>Further question... Assuming I get the above
sorted, I presume I just add the feature source to a layer and then the layer
to a map and it should work?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>Any help much appreciated!</FONT>
