 Hi,
 From my own experience, and by talking to other users I´ve found out that
 it is common for users to still use Autodesk Studio 2008. The reason for
 this is because Studio (2008 version) includes a builder to create
 tooltips. This was removed in Studio 2009 and newer versions and doesn't
 exist in Maestro.
 It can be found in Studio 2008 under Layer Styles / Label Style  and "Edit
 the Style" its possible to add a column value in the Font / property
 field.

 I think this could be a huge improvement for the user usability, because
 not everyone has the understanding to create a complex tooltip by writing
 their own concat statements.

 I've added a screenshot of the builder from Studio 2008.

 I've add this to the Maestro-4.0-maintenance, but I'm not sure if that's
 realistic as it would probably take some time to make, but it would
 definitely help users make the right choice :) when facing the question of
 choosing Autodesk mapguide or Mapguide opensource.
