I see the problem now.
You must include ALL the files, not just the SHP file.
After that you must select the shp file to be the "main" item (the star button in Maestro).

I can send you a package where I have done this if you like.

The problem is that Maestro only displays "*.shp" in the file type, and you must select "All files" before you can add those other files.
Feel free to add a feature request for the problem:

I tried using the exported SHP file with MapGuide Maestro. Using the ajaxviewer example SDF files I see many attributes, but using my exported SHP files I see only the FeatId field. If from Autocad Map I export data to SDF format I've got the same problem... If from Autocad Map I connect to the SHP data file I can see its attributes values on the data table. How come MapGuide Maestro doesn't display them? The SHP file is attached with this message,
please help me

    I am no expert on SHP data, but with most data, the attributes are
    included.
    If you use SHP data in MapGuide the attributes should be IN the
    SHP (or is it dbx, etc) file.
    >From then on you can see the columns everywhere, and use the
    attributes as label or other stuff.
    If you select the columns to view on the layer, they will show up,
    just like the parcel data.

    If you use Arc, the attributes are also attached to the topology,
    so the export should be able to extract that as well.

    Thank you for your help.
    I've found how to create object data. The problem is that I've got many
    objects (about 10.000), then I need an automatic method to attach data to
    objects. Some people told me to follow these steps:
    1) create a topology
    2) export a SHP file with topology data
    3) use topology ID to make a JOIN between topology data and data I need to
    attach
    4) import in Autocad Map the SHP file
    5) label objects, using the Style tool
    6) create a link template
    7) generate links to "Enclosed Text"

    On Autocad Map guide I saw that it is possible to automatically link objects
    to data on a DB table. But it requires labels. Using labels created as I
    said here doesn't work...

    Other people told me to attach objects data using a GIS software, but did
    not say which software and how :-(

    I hope anybody here can help me, because it's taking a really long time for
    this purpose...

    I need to develop something similar to the ajaxviewer example, on which you
    can view info about Parcels.


    Hoping in your help
    Cheers
    Carmelo

    In autocad map you have to create the object data and attach it to the
    features.  Check the help for creating object data.  It is pretty
    straight forward once you know what you are doing.

    Thanks Zac.
    You said that the street layer tooltip is based on attributes chosen
    from
    the feature source. Looking with Maestro at the viewer example I see
    what
    you mean. Then now I need to create a feature source with attributes.
    The
    feature source I'm using is a SHP file exported from my DWG planimetry
    with
    Autocad Map. Importing it into MapGuide I can see that it has only 1
    attribute: FeatId.

    I saw that the viewer example uses a layer called "Parcels", which has
    many
    attributes. I need something similar, because on my planimetry I have
    many
    adiacents blocks, and for each of them I need to show a tooltip with
    detail
    informations (for example: Row number, Block number, Area code).

    Have I create this blocks, with their detail informations, on Autocad
    Map?
    I tried importing the Parcel SDF file features source into Autocad Map,
    and
    I see that each block is a poliline. But I don't see any attribute, I
    don't
    know how to...

    have a look at how the example you looked at is configured

    the street layer will expose a tooltip based on the attributes chosen
    from the feature source in the tooltip expression

    I'm using Maestro. Ok, I see that the tooltip is definable on the
    layer
    with
    Maestro.
    So, to have a tooltip for each street should I have a layer for each
    street?

    what tools are you using? studio, maestro?

    they are called tooltips and they are defined per layer

    Hi everybody,
    Seeing the MapGuide viewer example I saw that when the mouse
    cursor
    is
    over
    a street it displays a message with informations about the
    street.
    I'd
    like
    to make something similar. I need to create streets and infos
    too.
    How
    can I
    do?
    I hope you can help me starting
