That would be a hopeful happening if you put trust in Autodesk saying that they want to improve the "delivering of technologies that improve the exchange of data and information between GIS tools and [Autodesk's] BIM design solutions. It strengthens [Autodesk's] ability to enable more connected GIS+BIM workflows."
While they are "collaborating" with ESRI, it would be nice if Autodesk offered the abilities to the dedicated users and subscribers of AIMS and the MGOS communities to completely use all of the AIMS FDO data sources within the MGOS platform. Besides the ECW and Oracle (where user has proper licensing) connections, the incorporation of FDO DWF and DWG file formats as data sources should be a foremost offering to MGOS. We have developed significant data using Autodesk products (primarily Autocad Map 3D) in the form of drawings in DWG and DWF files which we are displayed in AMIS as FDO data/layers. This would seem a natural inclusion in Autodesk's final assistance or contribution to the OSGEO community. Indeed, the DWG and DWF formats are certainly a key connection between remaining Autodesk products and MGOS. -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/MapGuide-Users-f4182607.html _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
