[Jonio, Dennis (Aviation)]

Marty,

Q1: YES - (technically no ..)  Map3d does have a Publish to MapGuide but
you will be very, very disappointed in the output. DETE is a very
complex app especially when you have multiple "Maps" defined within
"Display Manager"  I cannot emphasis enough to take the time to
understand "Display Manager".  Because of the nomenclature it was
somewhat of a task for me to get the basics.

 

Q2: This site is great for MapGuide ... Trial/Error on the
Map3d->Display Manager->Map building functions. Be sure you fully
understand what "Map Base" is in Display Manager

 

Q3: Time will tell .....

OK, I have MapGuide v 1.2 installed and working. Now I would like to put
it to use.

I have many AutoCAD maps done on USGS base that I would like to move
into this system.

The maps are from the telecommunications industry and have many defined
blocks with attributes and layers.

Right now I have AutoCAD and AutoCAD Map both 2008 and have ordered the
AutoCAD MapGuide Studio trial CD.

 

Question 1. Do I need MapGuide Studio to do this or does MapGuide Web
Studio have the same functionality?

 

Question 2. What is a good source of information for learning how to do
this? Are there any tutorials or documents related to this? 

 

Question 3. Am I posting this to the right group or is there another one
for these types of questions?

 

Any source of information that you may feel pertinent is welcome.

 

Thanks,

Marty
