[mapguide-users] Need Highlighting Sample

[Andy Morsell]

Yes, but they actually removed overall product functionality in Studio when 
they did that.  That's not something that you see too often in software 
products..... I guess RealDWG must not support object data or data links. 
Although I see that FME's Map 3D Object Data Reader/Writer now uses RealDWG as 
well.  So maybe Autodesk just didn't have the time or initiative to retain 
that functionality when switching DWG reader engines.

Autodesk replaced DETE with RealDWG in Studio 2009 thus explaining the
different behaviour.
