[mapguide-users] RE: How to enable markup using Design review

[Joel Carranza]

I've been playing around with the EPlots generated out of the sample
application by Map Guide (Open Source 1.2RC2), with the eye towards doing
markup in ADR. One thing I noticed was that when the maps open in Autodesk
design review, they come up in  "Unknown" units. Consequently, I am unable
to use the measure tools to produce a meaningfull result. It seems clear
that the actual units are in "page space", because when I measure across the
entire width of the page, I get about 8.5

I realize that the ePlot functionality is more centered around printing.
However, is there a way to generate a DWF out of the MapGuide which is more
"geo-aware", which contains inside the DWF information about the map extent
which the DWF covers, and where ADR can make use of tools like Measure and
their geo-referencing ability?

Thanks,
