How Autodesk MapGuide Works To create an interactive map or drawing, you use Autodesk MapGuide Author to combine resource data, such as spatial data (spatial data files and raster image files), and attribute data (from databases) in a map window file (MWF). The MWF contains the complete specifications of how the map will look and function. To publish the map, you copy the MWF file to a location where the web server can access it. Web page authors can then embed the file in their web pages or create links to it. To view the map, users can install Autodesk MapGuide Viewer free of charge. When the user opens a web page that contains an MWF file or clicks a link to an MWF file, the web browser automatically loads Autodesk MapGuide Viewer to display the map. The Viewer displays the map according to the MWF settings specified in Autodesk MapGuide Author. A map displayed with Autodesk MapGuide Viewer When you use either Autodesk MapGuide Author to create a map or Autodesk MapGuide Viewer to view a map, requests are made to Autodesk MapGuide Server to provide the required data in that map via the Internet, an intranet, or an extranet using the services of a web server and a web browser.
