[mapguide-users] Creating Streets and info

[Carmelo Saffioti]

Thank you for your help.
I've found how to create object data. The problem is that I've got many
objects (about 10.000), then I need an automatic method to attach data to
objects. Some people told me to follow these steps:
1) create a topology
2) export a SHP file with topology data
3) use topology ID to make a JOIN between topology data and data I need to
attach
4) import in Autocad Map the SHP file
5) label objects, using the Style tool
6) create a link template
7) generate links to "Enclosed Text"

On Autocad Map guide I saw that it is possible to automatically link objects
to data on a DB table. But it requires labels. Using labels created as I
said here doesn't work...

Other people told me to attach objects data using a GIS software, but did
not say which software and how :-(

I hope anybody here can help me, because it's taking a really long time for
this purpose...

I need to develop something similar to the ajaxviewer example, on which you
can view info about Parcels.


Hoping in your help
Cheers
Carmelo

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...
