What's New in Autodesk MapGuide Author 5? Map Explorer and Layer Groups The new Map Explorer interface is designed to help you author maps with easy access to layer controls, reports, zoom goto definitions, and frequently used dialog boxes. You can now organize layers into layer groups, which appear in the Map Explorer and in the Viewer legend. Continuous Panning and Zooming Now, you can click the Pan toolbar button or the Zoom toolbar button just once, and then pan and zoom repeatedly without needing to click the button again. Enhanced Printing You can now use the entire page for printing a map, and you can control which elements print on the map. When you print a map, you can include a title, a legend, the map's scale, a North arrow, the map's URL, and the current date and time. Also, you can specify the scale of the map you want to print, or you can have Autodesk MapGuide automatically scale the map to fit the printed page. Support for Multiline Text and Labels on Maps Autodesk MapGuide Author now supports multiple lines of text in text map features and labels. This enhances the readability of the display. Enhanced Symbol and Text Support You now have greater control over the display of symbols and text. You can specify symbol and text sizes in ground units (such as miles) as well as screen units (such as inches), and you can have symbols with independent heights and widths. You can also control the symbol size and rotation, as well as the text alignment by specifying OLE DB table columns that contain these values. Custom URL for Viewer Help  If you create help content for your customized Autodesk MapGuide Viewer, you can have the Viewer's Help Help Contents command go to the URL for your help file.
