Publishing Drawing Files to Autodesk MapGuide
You can publish objects and property set data to the Autodesk MapGuide
®
product suite.
The MapGuide product suite provides the tools to create, publish, and display maps, drawings, designs, schematics,
facilities management plans, and associated attribute data over the Internet, an intranet, or an extranet with the services
of a web server and a web browser.
You can find a number of sample MapGuide projects under
http://data.mapguide.com/SampleApps/fm/default.htm
.
Prerequisites
To publish graphic objects and property set data to MapGuide, the MapGuide SDF Component Toolkit must be installed
on your computer.
The MapGuide SDF Component Toolkit is a development library that allows developers to read, write, and modify
point, line, and polygon data within SDF files. SDF files are the native Spatial Data File format of MapGuide, created
from stand-alone applications or CGI applications.
You can download the Autodesk MapGuide SDF Component Toolkit from
http://www.autodesk.com
.
Published Data Types
You can publish the following data types from a drawing to MapGuide
®
.
■
Graphic data: All graphic objects can be exported to MapGuide in an SDF (Spatial Data File) file.
Areas and spaces are converted to polygons in the appropriate SDF files. All other graphic objects are converted to
polylines.
■
Property set data: Property set data attached to an exported object is exported to an Microsoft
®
Access Database
consisting of a series of tables representing the individual property sets. Each object record within a table is assigned
a unique object key matching the corresponding object key in the SDF file in order to associate the record in the
database with the appropriate SDF geometry.
■
Blocks and MVBlocks: Blocks and MVBlocks are exported as SDF files and point databases. Since the blocks and
MVBlocks are exported in SDF format as well, the point databases provide an option for users to use symbols rather
than the SDF geometry to represent Blocks and MVBlocks in MapGuide. There is a point geometry SDF format, but
since AutoCAD Architecture does not work with geospatial coordinate systems, a table in an external database
presents a better data source for point-related data.
The Publish To MapGuide command does not create bitmap files (BMP) or Windows Metafiles (WMF) representing
the geometry of blocks or MVBlocks. If you want to generate WMFs, you need to use either the AutoCAD
®
WmfOut
command or the MapGuide SDF Loader.
The SDF Loader is a utility used to create Spatial Data Files (SDF) and their accompanying Spatial Index Files (SIF)
from a variety of GIS data formats.
You can download the SDF Loader utility from
http://www.autodesk.com
