About Map Window Files (MWFs) Autodesk MapGuide stores each individual map as a map window file (MWF). In Autodesk MapGuide, the terms "MWF" and "map" are used interchangeably. You create MWFs using Autodesk MapGuide Author. Each MWF contains the specifications of the map window. These specifications include the boundary of the map, the background color, data source information (SQL databases, spatial data files, and raster image files), layers of cartographic data (such as roads and countries), layer display information (such as attributes and visible scales), and map display configuration specifications (such as menus and legends).
