Hello,

I'm working with data where one road can be represented by many segments. I am trying to display highway shields along the roads in a consistent manner. The problem I've run into is that in some places many shields are drawn and in others none are drawn. By creating several scale ranges and adjusting the StartOffset and Repeat values at each scale, I've been able to create a map where the number of shields is usually acceptable, however I still have some areas with many and others with none. I have DrawLast, CheckExclusionRegion and AddToExclusionRegion set to True in the LayerDefinition.

I believe the problem I am encountering is that MapGuide treats each segment individually, and therefore if the shield will fit in on the line with the specified StartOffset value it will be drawn, regardless of how close it is to a shield on nearby segments. Can anyone confirm this? Is anyone know there a way to specify a distance other than StartOffset and Repeat to create consistent spacing between the shields?
Thanks,
Christy
