[mapguide-users] Creating Streets and info

[Berdel, Brian]

In autocad map you have to create the object data and attach it to the
features.  Check the help for creating object data.  It is pretty
straight forward once you know what you are doing.

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...
