Recently I have to test the Design Review with GPS device. Those DWF file can be generated from AutoCAD Map 3D/ Civil 3D even IE browser by MapGuide enterprise.

This is the reference case for showing how the Autodesk Infrastructure solution applied to Airport project. Involved software have AutoCAD Map 3D, MapGuide Enterprise and Oracle database. Actually this is the traditional case in many area. They were used paper map for their system before. It doesn't provide good location-based and real-time information.

The Feature Data Objects (FDO) API provides access to data in a data store. The latest version is v3.4.0. AutoCAD Map3D 2010 has been deployed FDO 3.4.0. - more info

This is the new feature of MapGuide Enterprise 2010 and MapGuide Studio 2010. IN the previous version, it need to modify the map file to access the external file. Now we can make use of the GUI to do all procedure.

What is the external file?
Sometime it called alias folder. Those file was stored in another server or location of MapGuide server.

Why we need the external file?

China's Yuanwang-6 Space Tracking Ship visits Hong Kong. In September last year, the implementation of the space mission, they assist in monitoring the location of the spacecraft. I should go to see this ship this weekend.
