Martin,
I appreciate all the help that you have given. I have located an
Autodesk white paper on the subject that I am currently using to create
a path symbol for the interstate. For anyone else's reference, it is
located at
http://www.rand.com/imaginit/1/pdfs/technology/software/building_symbol_libraries_with_autodesk_mapguide_enterprise_2009.pdf.
In there, it does state that 1.2 should be able to handle definitions
for highway shields.
I would be curious if anyone still using MGOS 1.2 and symbol
definitions, or a developer, would be able to use the image I have
provided to successfully create a symbol definition. Perhaps 1.2 has
issues accessing stored images? Everything created by paths so far has
worked with no problems.
Thanks again for the help.

You do realize I only sent you the symbol definition part of the file,
I didn't send the complete file. You will insert the section I sent
in place of your symbol definition in your file. You need the rest of
your file. There is a white paper by Autodesk that explains the whole
process quite well. A brief look at their site did not turn it up
though. Can one of the Adesker's chime in with a link to the
whitepaper on composite symbols?

Hmm...I just tried that as well, and the process worked, in that it
created a symbol with that information. However, when I tried using it
on the map, it again displayed nothing for me.
One other question Martin: When I tried uploading the xml to the
server, I got an error message with an exception thrown with a
validation error message. I had received that in Studio as well,
because <SimplSymbolDefinition> needs a 'version=1.0.0' attribute. So,
I included that, but I still got an error. It wasn't until I had
declared at the top of the file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SimpleSymbolDefinition
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance>
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="SymbolDefinition-1.0.0.xsd"
version="1.0.0">
that I got it load to the server. Did you never have to go through
this in order to save your files?
Thanks.
The exact error message was
An exception occurred in the XML parser.
An exception occurred in the XML parser. Exception occurred in method
MgResourceContentManager.ValidateDocument at line 556 in file
c:\build_bond_area\mapguide_open_source_v1.2\build_18.1\mgdev\server\src\services\resource\ResourceContentManager.cpp

I created the symbols outside of Studio using a text editor and then
loaded them into the server. I will say that the first attempt or two
at using online encoders to base64 didn't work the file was radically
different that what was shown below. I did hit on one that worked
well, I have it bookmarked but I don't have access to that bookmark
right now. You can look at the symbols created by the xml below by
going to http://gis.edsi/com then follow the links to the Mecklenburg
County public site.
Thanks,
Martin
