Thank you Pietro. Before converting from DWG to DXF, I have to say that my DWG planimetry is not georeferenced. How can I georeference it? After georeferencing it, how can I import the file on the map server? It will be the map, isn't it? Thank you again Cheers Carmelo dxf2shp

Have you tried to explicitly set the path to the proj library in the map file? Try adding this to the map object: CONFIG PROJ_LIB C:/somedir/proj/nad/ You can find a little more about this in the map file reference. http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/mapObj David.

Hi Carmelo, it's no mode to know the projection of a dwg from itself: you have to ask those who produced. Once you have defined the projection and converted the dwg into .shp, you must to create a mapfile with a layer which data is the shapefile. Another layer will be the point layer of the

Christian, My experience is that the Python MapScript 'community' is extremely small. I really don't think that there are many people using it. If I am wrong, please speak up users. When I have posted questions to the list, if I got any response, it was from developers like Sean or Howard.

i use python mapscript. there are few examples, but a php mapscript example translates pretty directly to any other. and since it's python, there's no substitute for going into ipython, import'ing mapscript and using the autocompletion to see what's available. and i know it's not exactly what you
