Hi Bruce, I was hoping that MG had some mistery :-) mechanism of adding new CRSs to it's common definitions. So, I guess the only procedure to add new CRS to MG goes like:
1) On a client machine, run Map 3D and add new CRS (Map -> Tools -> Define Global Coordinate System...) 2) Open folder ...\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\GIS\CoordSys to see definition files 3) On MG server machine, open folder ...\Program Files\Autodesk\MapGuideEnterprise2008\Server 4) Run csupdate.exe 5) Source folder = the one described in step 2) 6) Destination folder = ...\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\GIS\CoordSys on MG server I just need to check out if MG Studio shares common CRS definitions with Map (I guess it does), and if it sees a newly added one when creating a new MapDefinition. That's how it should work for the MGE. I don't know if Mentor and Proj4 share common CRS/Datum/etc. definition files (for this to work on MGOS). BTW, I have no idea why Map and some other GIS applications use obscure formats for persisting coordinate system related data. Isn't XML on OGC standards enough? Is there something to hide? :-) I guess not ( http://www.epsg.org/CurrentDB.html EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset ).
