[mapguide-users] Cartographicsymbolsproblems

[Stefan Dalakov]

I seem to have reached the top level of psychical disorder - I answer my 
own posts. Anyway .. Traian  was right - I found a workaround for this 
problem (N:1) - massages usually relief the situation. I will add the 
working SymbolDef to the ticket - don't know if this is the correct way 
to proceed .
