Setting Display Styles for Point Layers
You can use symbols to represent point layer features. Autodesk MapGuide
Author comes with predefined symbols that are grouped by type in a number
of symbol (SMB) files. These files are located in the
\Smb folder installed in
the Autodesk MapGuide Author program folder. You can also use Windows
metafiles (WMF), enhanced Windows metafiles (EMF), or pictures from the
Clipboard as symbols. Additionally, you can create your own symbols in
AutoCAD Map, and import them into Autodesk MapGuide Author.
To specify styles for point layers, you double-click a style (or click Change) in
the Styles tab of the Map Layer Properties dialog box, to display the Point
Style dialog box.
For step-by-step instructions, choose Help Contents, click the Index tab,
and look up “point layers, styles.”
