[mapguide-users] Measure Widget Problem

[LLEUNDD]

I am using a different projection than the person above.  I have all my
layers projected to UTM83-11 and can measure correctly in other GIS programs
(i.e., ArcGIS, MapInfo), however when the same layers are brought into
Mapguide studio and placed into maps/layouts, the measure widget displays an
incorrect measurement.

I can even take off the projections and display then using an arbitrary X/Y
coordinate system with the same results.

Anyone else having similar issues?

Cheers!
