| | 24 | == Overview == |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | This RFC updates !MapGuide to use the latest version of DWF Toolkit (7.7) |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | == Motivation == |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | MapGuide is currently using an old version of the DWF Toolkit (7.1). To avoid interoperability issues between MapGuide/AIMS and other current Autodesk products that use DWF, we should be using the (same?) latest version of the DWF Toolkit. |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | Previously, our ability to upgrade was hampered by the need to support the DWF eMap functionality. Having removed this functionality in RFC139, we can now proceed with this upgrade. |
| | 33 | |
| | 34 | == Proposed Solution == |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | Upgrade existing DWF Toolkit in Oem to the latest 7.7 release |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | == Implications == |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | Upgrading to DWF Tookit 7.7 requires the following minor code changes in MapGuide: |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | * DWFPackageVersionExtension becomes DWF6PackageVersionExtension |
| | 43 | * DWFPackageWriter becomes DWF6PackageWriter |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | Linking the Whip3D toolkit static library is now required on all consuming project files on Windows to avoid unresolved symbols when linking the DWF Toolkit static library. |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | Supporting DWFx Drawing Sources or plotting out to DWFx files is not in the scope of the RFC. Enabling such functionality in MapGuide is the scope of another RFC. |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | == Test Plan == |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | Build/Run on Windows/Linux. Ensure existing ePlot output functionality, rendering from Drawing Sources and Drawing Service APIs work as before. |
