Create Web Layouts Manually

Use Infrastructure Studio to create the Web layout for Infrastructure Application Extension from scratch. The Map Server Package can be used as a template to configure Infrastructure Studio for Infrastructure Application Extension.

Use Infrastructure Administrator to associate your project with an Infrastructure Application Extension layout you created using Autodesk Infrastructure Studio.

In Infrastructure Studio, we recommend that you configure the Feature Resource using a connection to the system user MAPSYS.

Note: Use AutoCAD Map 3D and the Publish To Infrastructure Map Server command to create a Web layout that matches your project and display model. See Set Up Infrastructure Application Extension.

In feature class forms, you can assign documents to each feature, for example using the document manager, or the file selection control. For Infrastructure Application Extension, you specify the IIS alias for the file location.

See also System Table TB_GN_DIRECTORY_ALIAS.

To optimize your Infrastructure Application Extension configuration, follow these guidelines.

• Generate maps as a JPG or PNG8 instead of PNG (for AJAX)

  The file size of JPG or PNG8 images created for the AJAX viewer application can be smaller than a PNG image; however, the PNG file has a higher display quality.

• Verify that the spatial indices in your industry model are valid.
• Use views instead of client side joins.

  When you use a view, use only the attributes in the views which you need.

• For layer definitions, use only the attributes you need.
• Work with scale ranges.

  For big scales and static data, use .sdf, .shp, or raster. For smaller scales or live data, use data from a database.

• For raster, use the .ecw format.
• Use coordinate system transformation only if necessary.
• Use base layers.
• Verify that the views in your industry model are valid.
