Kenneth, I attempted to add the NASA site (http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?service=wms&version-1.1.1) as a WMS and yes, I was able to save the Feature Source by pressing "YES" on the error dialog, and yes i'm unable create a layer with Raster geometry. All this using 2.1 and the Maestro Preview.

I have commented on the issue created (or attempted to, since trac is not responding): The many messages are reported in issue #1149. The dialog is actually a message like: Errors detected, save anyway? So, you can just press enter, and it should save just fine. The error message is a defect i

Can you please file that as a bug against the Maestro component in the MapGuide Trac so that it can be easily addressed by Kenneth? Please include details such as the WMS site you were connecting to and the error message received. I still heartily recommend using the current Maestro test build fo

Installing the current version of Maestro solves the WMS connection problem. What an aggravation that was! I'm still not able to view a feature from the service though. None of the feature classes have any Geometry. Please note the screen capture again. Are you getting anything? http://screencas

I can't speak for your install, but I was able to connect to the WMS provider you used in your screencast in Maestro ver. 1.0.9.15910 with MGOS 2.1. I would uninstall the beta of Maestro and install the previous version and see if that works. -Mark P. Neil_w wrote: > > I'm running Maestro 1.1

I'm running Maestro 1.1.0.4358. I believe it is beta but it was highly touted by Jason Birch in one of his posts so I assumed it was stable. Should I go back to another version? The only other thing I can think of that might be causing problems is I downloaded an updated set of FDO providers from

Neil, What you are talking about is very doable, and much of it is fairly easy. You have an excellent resource at hand which i think you aren't using though, and that is Map 3D. Map 3D has help files to explain how to connect to WMS and to Raster files. Open a new drawing, and try connecting t

Mark, The objective is to serve GIS data to in-house staff who either do not have Map or who do not know how to use it. I would like to mix in-house data with published resources and services. Some of our data is in DWG form (contour maps, etc.). Also I would like to overlay project drawings onto

Neil, Perhaps an explanation of your end goals is in order. What do you aim to achieve? After all, AutoCAD Map and Civil 3D can connect to WMS, and Raster Images. If you are trying to display drawings with these layers in the background, then you don't really need MapGuide. If you need to crea

Neil, Don't give up. Just invest sometime researching. DWG files are converted either by what is called a Load Procedure in MapGuide Studio or by an export from Autocad Map. WMS Data connections simply require the WMS server URL. This URL is provided by the vendor you are accessing. When cre
