Online Help Index raster layers creating Exporting from ER Mapper You can also use ER Mapper from Earth Resource Mapping to export images as raster images in BIL (Band Interleaf) format along with associated HDR files. Autodesk MapGuide Server can access BIL files randomly, increasing performance over regular non-tiled raster images in some situations. For information about ER Mapper, go to: http://www.ermapper.com/ Adding Raster Images to Your Map As stated earlier, you can use raster images as layers that underlay vector layers, so that street data appears on top of an aerial photo of the city, for example. In this case, you must create a separate raster layer for each raster image or raster image catalog (RIC) file. For detailed information about creating a raster layer, choose Help Contents, click the Index tab, and look up "raster layers, creating." Working with Symbols Online Help Index symbols adding Autodesk MapGuide Author uses symbols that you specify to represent the points in point layers. The product comes with predefined symbols that are grouped by type in a number of symbol files (.smb). The symbol files are installed in the Smb directory located in your Autodesk MapGuide Author program directory. You can also create your own custom symbols in AutoCAD Map or another third-party drawing program, copy them to the Clipboard or save them as Windows Metafiles (WMF) or Enhanced Windows Metafiles (EMF), and then import them into Autodesk MapGuide Author. For detailed information, choose Help Contents, click the Index tab, and look up "symbols, adding." You can also use the SDF Loader to convert blocks from AutoCAD Map to EMFs using the /BLOCKS:EMF switch. For more information, refer to the Autodesk MapGuide SDF Loader Help. Note Symbols imported from WMF/EMF files or the Clipboard support only lines, arcs, polygons, ellipses, rectangles, and text strings. Bitmaps, bezier curves, paths, and poly-text in WMF/EMF files are not supported in Autodesk MapGuide. 104 | Chapter 5 Working with Data in Autodesk MapGuide
