lat-lon for goto

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I would like to know how to generate a list of lat-lon to be used in the
creation of goto view features in mapguide? I believe lat-lon is needed in
order
for us to create a goto view in mapguide query. it will be inconvenient to
manually encode each block(building or parcel) if we have an over a thousand
blocks!Thanks in advanced.

MapGuide will use whatever coordinates you set as the coordinate system;
they can be state planes, UTM, or whatever.

The Report option of the Define Query command can produce a list of X,Y (and
Z) coordinates for objects in a query. Define a query, then select the
Report option; from the Expression area, choose Properties; from the list
select either X coordinate of start point (to get the X value) or Object
Start Point (to get X,Y, and Z).

You can also get a list of things like block name from the same list, or
attribute values from the Data list.

Hope this helps,
David

Amalia,

depending on how you want to author the blocks in MapGuide, you could also
export them as point objects and re-connect them with the actual blocks in
MapGuide. That way the coordinates are available anyway.
You might consider to post additional questions on this subject in the
MapGuide discussion group.
