If you select the correct projection for both the data sources, and the map,
MapGuide should fix it correctly for you.

If you have X/Y data (lat/lon) in MySql, you can use the ODBC provider to map the data into points.

Thank you Kenneth, now it works :-)
Another question: I've got objects coordinates and data on a MySql DB. Is it possible to use it to draw a layer with these objects? Object coordinates are local relative coordinates. Vehicles positions on my DB are lat/lon GPS coordinates. Have you got any suggestions about dealing with these different coordinates? Thank you very much again
Cheers

    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

        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
