Dear all,

I tried without success to use a dwg file as data input for a layer into 
the mapfile.


My goal is to use a vector data to build the main layer of the map so 
that when the map is "resize" the image quality will be good at every size.


Mapserver give me this error "File not found or unsupported format."
and my test map file is this:


Valerio,

MapServer (and OGR) do not support reading DWG files.  You will need to
find some mechanism to translate the files to another format that is
supported.  This can be accomplished with the FME software from Safe Software
though that isn't open source.

Best regards,

Valerio,

These guys have some cheapish (non OS) Windows based tools for working with dwg 
files, including their CAD converter which may do what you need.
