Amen, brother on the DWG extension. After 3-4 years still falling on deaf ears at Autodesk. When you used the DETE plot config, can you try the paper size at 100 inches x 100 inches with plot to fit? Not sure if it matters but 707 x 1000mm would be abiyt 28 x 40 inches or about 1/4 if the size

I'm using the DWF6 ePlot.pc3 driver, I'm also changing the 'Custom Properites' of the driver to using 'Vector and Gradient Resolution' of 4800dpi for both as well that the Raster Resolution. From there I edited the DWF Virtual Pens plot style table to use a Lineweight of 0. All of that still p

What plotter configuration are you using to create the DWF? I use the "DWF6 ePlot DETE.pc3" which generally produces good results for us. I believe it is also the one used "automatically" by the "Publish to Mapguide" function within Autocad Map 3D. It plots to fit paper size 100 x 100 inches an

On the original dwg file, what font is used for text? One of the original ???.shx fonts that were optimized for ancient pen plotters or a ???.ttf modern font that has some fill and girth to it? Any chance for samples of the original dwg and dwf or at least screen shots of each? -Original Me

The text is actually text in autocad. There are also other layers to that use text (dims for example) that also look extremely poor. The font is embedded in the Autocad file, and is running locally on the XP machine I would assume. I didn't think dwf's would require that text file since all t

Hi, I'm attempting to convert some dwg's to dwf's in order to display 'dumb' graphics in MGE. I've tried all the settings I could find in the plot dwf configuration to make the objects (text, blocks, dims, leaders, arrows, etc) look exacly how they do in the dwg and so far I have failed miserabl

It is true that not all tables have a primary key. This is however, that MapGuide interpreted views as tables and I do not know how to hide them. Does anyone have an idea? http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/file/n5321605/Unbenannt.png -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.18032

I found this too when not all of my tables had primary keys (and spatial indices) defined. The save still completed though. I also ran into problems with the extents not being read correctly and had to manually enter the map extents, but can't remember the cause of that one. On 2010-07-21, SandraH
