Easily Create Rich Web 2.0-Type Web Mapping Applications
| Autodesk MapGuide Studio web mapping technology offers web designers and mapping professionals the tools to easily create web mapping sites. A modular system of flexible design templates and drag-and-drop application widgets requires little to no web-development expertise. Flexible layout technology allows you to select from a number of templates to create your MapGuide Studio-based web application. The flexible layout templates include support for overview maps and improved tools for selecting, measuring, and digitizing features. Autodesk MapGuide Studio geospatial software includes complete support for authoring applications with flexible layouts, including the ability to easily switch between templates. |
Powerful and Uniform Expression Support
| Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise software includes a powerful expression language and a robust set of functions that work across FDO (Feature Data Objects) data providers. Autodesk MapGuide Studio includes an Expression Editor that makes it easier than ever to create expressions for filters, thematics, and labeling. |
Author in a Single Environment
A developer-friendly map authoring environment based on popular web-development tools provides flexibility, ease of use, fast prototyping, and rapid application development. Developers no longer need different tools for loading data, connecting to databases, and publishing data to the web. Autodesk MapGuide Studio web mapping technology handles all aspects of collecting and preparing geospatial data:
- Use the Site Explorer multiple document interface (MDI) tabbed window
- Build stylized and themed layers
- Compile layers into a map
- Display attributes defined by scale
- Create automatic labelling by scale
- Preview a web layout without publishing
- Customize menus
- Embed calls to web pages and scripts
Access Data Efficiently
Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise and MapGuide Open Source use a single API (application programming interface), Feature Data Objects (FDO), for accessing data in ODBC, ArcView™ Shape file, SDF file, Oracle® Spatial DB, ArcSDE™ database, Microsoft® SQL Server™, and other formats. The software provides easy and efficient access to all data types with standardized API support for cross-product (AutoCAD® Map 3D map software and AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software) data sources. Once you access your data source, you can style it using Autodesk MapGuide Studio software. |
Bring in Raster Data
Extend the value and enhance the look of your existing map data by bringing in BMP, CAL, ECW, JPG, PNG, SID, TGA, and TIF data. |
Load Vector Data
Streamline aggregation and publishing of geospatial data by quickly loading SDF, SHP, DWG, and prestyled DWF data.
Manage Tabular Data
Simplify integration of external data sources using customized editors to configure various types of FDO-accessible data, including Oracle and SQL Server, ODBC, ArcSDE, and others.
Write Once, Browse Anywhere
Create a single application that works in multiple browsers. |
Use Worldwide Data
Get flexible data integration with support for more than 3,000 worldwide coordinate systems, as well as nonmapping systems. |
Preview Easily
Preview your map and get immediate feedback as you stylize and develop it, without having to publish it to a server. Preview data source attributes and geometry content directly, via the data source connection dialog. |
Choose Your Language
Accelerate map development by programmatically loading and organizing data from any .NET API-compatible language to quickly create programs that perform repetitive work.
