[mapguide-users] Creating Streets and info

[Carmelo Saffioti]

Thanks Zac.
You said that the street layer tooltip is based on attributes chosen from
the feature source. Looking with Maestro at the viewer example I see what
you mean. Then now I need to create a feature source with attributes. The
feature source I'm using is a SHP file exported from my DWG planimetry with
Autocad Map. Importing it into MapGuide I can see that it has only 1
attribute: FeatId.

I saw that the viewer example uses a layer called "Parcels", which has many
attributes. I need something similar, because on my planimetry I have many
adiacents blocks, and for each of them I need to show a tooltip with detail
informations (for example: Row number, Block number, Area code).

Have I create this blocks, with their detail informations, on Autocad Map?
I tried importing the Parcel SDF file features source into Autocad Map, and
I see that each block is a poliline. But I don't see any attribute, I don't
know how to...
