[mapguide-users] Highway symbols

[Brad Nesom]

I have used a state specific ttf before for highway symbols. 18 states. They
are the ddv link below. Also some other resources including an arcxml that
might lead in an eventual successful direction

Currently, there is no easy way to do this because of the inability to use
symbols to label polyline features. One option is to modify the source code
to draw highway symbols for polylines, rather than draw the text. Another
option is to generate a point layer with the positions of the highway labels
and then overlay that on top of the highway polylines.

Is there a way to draw highway symbols using Mapguide Studio instead of
using the Text attributes for a given road or roads? And, if so how.  If not
- what other options do I have.
