<p class=MsoNormal>Martin,<br>
<br>
I appreciate all the help that you have given. I have located an Autodesk white
paper on the subject that I am currently using to create a path symbol for the
interstate. For anyone else's reference, it is located at <a
href="http://www.rand.com/imaginit/1/pdfs/technology/software/building_symbol_libraries_with_autodesk_mapguide_enterprise_2009.pdf">http://www.rand.com/imaginit/1/pdfs/technology/software/building_symbol_libraries_with_autodesk_mapguide_enterprise_2009.pdf</a>.
In there, it does state that 1.2 should be able to handle definitions for
highway shields.<br>
<br>
I would be curious if anyone still using MGOS 1.2 and symbol definitions, or a
developer, would be able to use the image I have provided to successfully
create a symbol definition. Perhaps 1.2 has issues accessing stored images?
Everything created by paths so far has worked with no problems.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for the help.<br>
<br>

file, I didn’t send the complete file. You will insert the section I sent
in place of your symbol definition in your file. You need the rest of
your file. There is a white paper by Autodesk that explains the whole
process quite well. A brief look at their site did not turn it up
though. Can one of the Adesker’s chime in with a link to the
whitepaper on composite symbols?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hmm...I just tried that as
well, and the process worked, in that it created a symbol with that
information. However, when I tried using it on the map, it again displayed
nothing for me. <br>
<br>
One other question Martin: When I tried uploading the xml to the server, I got
an error message with an exception thrown with a validation error message. I
had received that in Studio as well, because <SimplSymbolDefinition>
needs a 'version=1.0.0' attribute. So, I included that, but I still got an
error. It wasn't until I had declared at the top of the file <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?><br>
<SimpleSymbolDefinition xmlns:xsi=<a
href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"</a>
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="SymbolDefinition-1.0.0.xsd"
version="1.0.0"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><br>
that I got it load to the server. Did you never have to go through this in
order to save your files?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
The exact error message was<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2>An exception occurred in the XML parser.<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class=MsoNormal>An exception occurred in the XML parser. Exception occurred
in method MgResourceContentManager.ValidateDocument at line 556 in file

two at using online encoders to base64 didn’t work the file was radically
different that what was shown below. I did hit on one that worked well, I
have it bookmarked but I don’t have access to that bookmark right now.
You can look at the symbols created by the xml below by going to <a
