Hi,
Posting this message (from the gislist) to the MapServer and GeoTools
mailing lists as I think there may be interest within these
communities for this tool. An earlier post a couple of months ago
didn't generate a single reply, so I may be wrong :-)
I've developed a tool to export an MXD to an AXL (ArcIMS)
configuration file. It works on both ArcMap 8 and 9 and does
conversions of all (risky statement...) the symbology of ArcMap (both
for vector and raster & truetype symbols on most supported data
formats).
I have tried to get someone interested in developing an XSL
transformation of these AXL files into MapServer map files (or
SLD), but no
one reacted unfortunately and I do not have the MapServer knowledge
required nor the time to develop these. However, if someone creates
such XSL (even starting with something fairly basic) I would be very
happy to incorporate the functionality as one of the export formats
of the tool.
You can find the tool in the ArcScripts section on the
support.esri.com website . The tool's name is MXD2AXL
Greetings,
Jeroen

Thanks, Jeff, for the useful reply.
Would anyone be able to help with the conversion? I have just one
file
(about 450k) that needs converting from mxd to .map.
I have no idea if this is a lengthy process or not, but if it is
obviously
there will be remuneration.
Please contact me off list if you're interested.
TIA,
Ed.

Subject: Re: [gislist] Mxp -> map conversion
Amein! is the mxd-to-map utility, Avein! is the apr-to-map
utility...if
you use ArcGIS 9 you should be able to use Amein! (same URL as you
stated).
Another good apr-to-mxd utility is Gix (http://gix.sourceforge.net/),
but the mxd-to-map utility is in development (according to the
website).
Quantum GIS (QGIS, http://www.qgis.org/) does have an 'Export as
MapServer mapfile) option, but the last time i tried it it was
still not
fully functional.

Hi ~
I'm using MapServer (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/) on a project,
and need
to show style data with the information from an .mxp file.
Alas mapserver doesn't support this format.
Can anyone help?
Would it be possible either to:
o Convert the mxd to a map file using ArcView and Avein!
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/avein/)
o Give us some kind of human-readable version of the mxd file so
we can
code the map file ourselves
Thanks, gislist,
Ed.
