Autodesk Mapguide Author 6.0

[scluna]

Hi,

May I inquire if autodesk mapguide author 6.0 is a free software? Is the software available for download in autodesk website knowledge network?

I found this link but its 6.5 not 6.0 http://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/downloads/content/mapguide-65-service-pack-1.html.

Thanks and regards

I can't answer your question - but you should try your post in the Infrastructure forum

I use the open source version of mapguide - it uses "Studio" instead of "Author".  There is a lot of information and interesting reading here

I would suggest using maestro it is the open source editor for mapguide, if your not using infrastructure... http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro/Downloads

 Hi,

I already use mapguide studio for enterprise application. Can maestro
open an mwx file and save that mwx file to mapguide 6.0?

I am familiar with maestro however I was only able to use it to connect to a
mapguide 6.0 server. Correct me if Im wrong but I think maestro is
application for mapguide opensource server and mapguide enterprise
server which later becomes mapguide infrastructure map server.


Thanks

Maestro is an editor similar to studio, but I have found in a few instances that when I cannot do it with studio, maestro sometimes helps.  What exact is it that you are trying to accomplish?

Hi,

Yes, maestro is like mapguide studio. My question is that I have mapguide author 6.5 which is use to modify mwx files but I am having issue with the file edited in mapguide author 6.5 since our server is a mapguide server 6.0. And when I use the symboldatastream for the mwx generated in mapguide author 6.5 and feed that symboldatastream to mapguide server 6.0. It doesn't recognize the stream because the stream was generated in mapguide author 6.5.

Please note that mapguide server 6.0 is a predecessor of mapguide enterprise and mapguide infrastructure.

Thanks,
