Help Index Creating an Autodesk GIS Design Server Theme Layer Autodesk GIS Design Server creating Autodesk GIS Design Server theme layers If you have Autodesk GIS Design Server theme data and the Autodesk GIS Design Server Extension, you can create Autodesk GIS Design Server theme layers. Unlike other layer types, each feature on a Autodesk GIS Design Server theme layer can be drawn with a different style (font, color, line style, fill style, and so on). All display characteristics are taken directly from the features themselves in the Autodesk GIS Design Server theme. Therefore, you do not specify the styles for the layer, as you do with other types of layers in Autodesk MapGuide Author, nor are the styles stored with the layer defini- tion in the MWF. To change the styles of the map features on a Autodesk GIS Design Server theme layer, you must change the symbology definitions of the features in the Autodesk GIS Design Server theme on which the layer is based.  For step-by-step instructions, choose Help Contents, click the Index tab, and look up "Autodesk GIS Design Server, creating Autodesk GIS Design Server theme layers." Help Index DWG layers creating Creating an Autodesk DWG Layer  If you have Autodesk DWG files, you can create Autodesk DWG layers by choosing New Layer Autodesk DWG Layer from the popup menu in the Design tab of the Map Explorer. Autodesk MapGuide supports scale, rotation, and XY offset of drawings referenced by Autodesk Map project drawings. If you want to tile a set of arbitrary XY drawings, or if you want to scale, offset, or rotate one or more drawings, attach the drawings to an Autodesk Map project drawing and set the appropriate values for the scale, offset, and rotation.  For step-by-step instructions, choose Help Contents, click the Index tab, and look up "DWG layers, creating." 158 | Chapter 9 Working with Map Layers
