[mapguide-users] trouble replicating interstate symbol definition

[Jonathan Manafi]

Martin,

I appreciate all the help that you have given. I have located an 
Autodesk white paper on the subject that I am currently using to create 
a path symbol for the interstate. For anyone else's reference, it is 
located at 
http://www.rand.com/imaginit/1/pdfs/technology/software/building_symbol_libraries_with_autodesk_mapguide_enterprise_2009.pdf. 
In there, it does state that 1.2 should be able to handle definitions 
for highway shields.

I would be curious if anyone still using MGOS 1.2 and symbol 
definitions, or a developer, would be able to use the image I have 
provided to successfully create a symbol definition. Perhaps 1.2 has 
issues accessing stored images? Everything created by paths so far has 
worked with no problems.

Thanks again for the help.
