[mapguide-users] Shapefile Features Not Rendering

[GISDOTNET]

Jason,

Thanks for the education; I'll investigate further on the net. Is there a
document that describes how to migrate from SDE or SHP data to SDF?

Not sure if SDF will solve our issues either, but we need to identify the
cause of and solution for these rendering issues.

Thanks,

Aaron
