Autodesk 15607-010000-5000A Manuale Utente

In Autodesk Map, a link template associates objects in the drawing with 
records in an external database. In this release of Autodesk MapGuide, you 
can access all the columns of any database table that is linked to the drawing 
by a link template. For information about the other kinds of database tables 
that you can link, see the topic “About DWG Data Sources” in the Autodesk 
MapGuide Help.

Note  When using DWG link templates in Autodesk MapGuide, the UDL files for 
the link template data sources must be copied from the Autodesk Map Data Links 
folder to the Autodesk MapGuide Server Data Sources folder. Otherwise, 
MapGuide will be unable to access the data source. You can find the location of 
the UDL files used by Autodesk Map on the Files tab of the Options dialog box.

1 In Autodesk MapGuide Author, right-click Map Layers and then click any 

of the DWG layer-creation options on the shortcut menu.
