To me it seems strange there is no more support from Autodesk for a good DWG
implementation in MGE/MGOS. MapGuide 6.5 was handling DWGs fine (perfect
display), you could even make selections on the DWG layer.
In MGE/MGOS it is only possible to convert to either SDF or produce the DWG
as DWF (I ne
A possible reason as to why there isn't a DWG FDO provider to date:
The only (official) way to write DWG files (RealDWG) is windows only.
MapGuide (Open and Enterprise) is a multi-platform product after all.

Once again, I have hit wall. The DWFx file format is not compatible with MGE
and thus cannot be used.

Ok, I've gotten the closest I've seen yet with this issue. Here's what I
did:
- Plot using the DWFx eplot (XPS Compatable) driver.
- Use a DWF Virtual Pen ctb file when plotting and change the line weight
to 0mm. (I had to edit an existing one because you can't add more than whats
in the list.
An FDO for DWG is an excellent idea as DWGs are currently imported as dumb
images unless the drawing entities are classified. In my case a large extra
step as 1.) all my blocks need to be modified to record their info as object
data via some yet-to-be-created-by-us interface and B.) the extensive
DWG files contain all sorts of information including attribute (Object Data
and Link Templates) and amazing symbology (Leaders, Dimensions and Blocks) -
these items do not easily move into MapGuide..
It would be great if there was an FDO Provider for DWG to harvest both
attribute and visual dat
Compared to MapGuide 6.5 the support for DWG/DWF is really poor in MGOS/MGE.
I did not check in MGOS 2.1 yet but in MGOS 2.0 there is even a huge
memoryleak when using DWF.

I shall give that a try and let you know the outcome. Just so happens I'm on
holidays as of 2mins ago and won't be back for a week or so. But i'll post
more when I return.
thanks for all the posts and help with this, hopefully I can get an answer
from Autodesk by the time I return on how to fix
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
Ok, I just tried a new configuration using the other plotter driver suggested
above.
Now the configuration is:
DWF6 ePlot DETE.pc3 driver
Paper size : ISO full bleed (707x1000mm)
Shaded viewport: 4800dpi
DWF Virtual Pens Lineweight set to '0'.
Within the Driver 'Custom Properties' settings:

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
