color=#0000ff size=2>I agree that DWF is by far the better data type when trying
to preserve the graphic fidelity of complex vector data, especially when
representing things like floor plans with dimensions, symbols and
labeling. But, it lacks any real object intelligence, which is where SDF
based data is much better.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=859413015-21052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>When you load a DWF via Studio, it treats it as a "drawing"
source. Meaning, it just copies the DWF into the repository and adds the
necessary information to the database. There is no option to convert to
feature data. There is no DWF FDO provider, and I suspect that the reason
for this is that the drawing service is already provided in the core of MapGuide
Open Source.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=859413015-21052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>It sounds like there might be some confusion around loading
DWF versus DWG in Studio: when loading a DWG, you have the option to load it as
drawing or feature data. If as feature data, it converts to SDF. If
as drawing data, it converts to DWF. I have found that publishing DWG to
DWF from Autodesk Map and then loading the DWF files yields more flexible
results in MapGuide. If you do it that way, the DWG layer information is
carried forward and you can then filter your MGOS layer based on the DWF
layers. If you do it in Studio, the resultant DWF is just one big
blob. One thing to watch when publishing from Map is to make sure all of
your pen weights are set to 0.00. Otherwise you will get the defaults and your
DWF layers will look bad when zoomed in in MGOS. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>In one of my DWF data sources, if I use the DescribeDrawing
mapagent operation, here is the result. So, Studio is doing quite a bit
when loading the DWF, but that doesn't mean that this could not be done from
outside of Studio.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

"C:\Programme\MapGuideOpenSource2.0\Server\Repositories\Library\DataFiles\b70eab7a-ffff-ffff-8000-000c29c577cf"

removed, mapguide doesn't display the data anymore, so that I believe there is
a direct connection. The ohter thing is, that we use dwf because the very
