[mapguide-users] Print Layout and Resources

[Hidekazu Shimaji]

Hello,

Only the MapGuide Studio API can create a dwf file for a Symbol Library.
Using "Autodesk.Gis.DwfToolkit.dll", I found how to create a dwf file by chance,
but that way is not supported by Autodesk. 
(No description in the Studio help.)

I can show you the "unspported" code, if you want.
