Working with Map Layers
Specifying Data Source Properties for Layers
You use the Data Sources tab of the Map Layer Properties dialog box to specify
the data source that contains the features you want to use on this layer, the
URL of the Autodesk MapGuide Server MapAgent that will serve this data,
and additional data source properties. If you are creating a raster layer, the
Data Sources tab looks different than it does when you are creating a vector
layer. For more information, see “Creating a Raster Layer” on page 157. If you
are working with a buffer layer that you created with the View
Buffer
command, the Data Sources tab is not available.
To specify data source properties
1
Double-click a layer in the Design tab of the Map Explorer, and then click
the Data Sources tab in the Map Layer Properties dialog box.
2
Do one of the following:
For an SDP (Spatial Data Provider) or OLE DB Data Source, select from
the Draw Features From drop-down list.
For a DWG (Autodesk) data source, click the browse button next to the
Data Sources box.
The dialog box that is displayed depends on the type of data source you
selected.
If you choose SDP (Spatial Data Provider) Data Source, the dialog box dis-
plays two secondary tabs as shown below.
