[mapguide-users] Creating Streets and info

Tue Nov 25 02:48:44 EST 2008

My local reference system is metric, and its origin is a (0,0) point on the planimetry.
Then, do you mean to set a metric system for both data sources and the map?

The question is this:
Data sources have metric data on a local reference system. Then the map is generated by this system. I have a sequence of GPS vehicles positions too, which must be displayed on the map. Have I transform GPS positions to local system coordinates (or the map coordinates to GPS)?? Or is there any other way?

Thank you again
Cheers
Carmelo

  If you select the correct projection for both the data sources, and the map,
  MapGuide should fix it correctly for you.

  If you have X/Y data (lat/lon) in MySql, you can use the ODBC provider to map the data into points.

    Thank you Kenneth, now it works :-)

    Another question:
    I've got objects coordinates and data on a MySql DB. Is it possible to use it to draw a layer with these objects?

    Object coordinates are local relative coordinates. Vehicles positions on my DB are lat/lon GPS coordinates. Have you got any suggestions about dealing with these different coordinates?

    Thank you very much again
    Cheers

      I see the problem now.
      You must include ALL the files, not just the SHP file.
      After that you must select the shp file to be the "main" item (the star button in Maestro).

      I can send you a package where I have done this if you like.

      The problem is that Maestro only displays "*.shp" in the file type, and you must select "All files" before you can add those other files.
      Feel free to add a feature request for the problem:

        I tried using the exported SHP file with MapGuide Maestro. Using the ajaxviewer example SDF files I see many attributes, but using my exported SHP files I see only the FeatId field. If from Autocad Map I export data to SDF format I've got the same problem...

        If from Autocad Map I connect to the SHP data file I can see its attributes values on the data table. How come MapGuide Maestro doesn't display them?

        The SHP file is attached with this message,
        please help me

          I am no expert on SHP data, but with most data, the attributes are included.
          If you use SHP data in MapGuide the attributes should be IN the SHP (or is it dbx, etc) file.
          >From then on you can see the columns everywhere, and use the attributes as label or other stuff.
          If you select the columns to view on the layer, they will show up, just like the parcel data.

          If you use Arc, the attributes are also attached to the topology, so the export should be able to extract that as well.

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...

  have a look at how the example you looked at is configured

the street layer will expose a tooltip based on the attributes chosen
from the feature source in the tooltip expression

I'm using Maestro. Ok, I see that the tooltip is definable on the
      layer
with
  Maestro.
So, to have a tooltip for each street should I have a layer for each
      street?

      what tools are you using? studio, maestro?

they are called tooltips and they are defined per layer

      Hi everybody,
Seeing the MapGuide viewer example I saw that when the mouse
          cursor
is
  over
      a street it displays a message with informations about the
          street.
I'd
  like
      to make something similar. I need to create streets and infos
          too.
How
  can I
      do?
I hope you can help me starting

Cheers
