166 Chapter 9 Working with Map Layers
3 If you have assigned an access key to the layer, select the Include Access
Key In Map Layer File check box to save the access key with the layer file,
or clear it to prevent the access key from being saved with the layer.
You can use the same layer in multiple maps. This is very useful, for example,
when you need to create several maps of the same area that show variations
of the same data. Using a saved layer saves you the work of having to recreate
the same layer for each map. Before you can add a layer from one map to
another, you must save the layer.
To add a saved layer to a map
1 Right-click over the Map Layers item in the Design tab of the Map
Explorer, and then choose Add Layer From File.
2 Navigate to the folder where the saved layer's MLF file resides, select the
folder, and then click OK.
If you have made changes to one or more layers, you can have Autodesk
MapGuide Server rebuild the layers so that you can see the changes in
Autodesk MapGuide Author. Rebuilding a layer group rebuilds all of the
layers in the group. Note that you cannot rebuild a buffer or redline layer.
You use the Rebuild All Layers command or the Rebuild command to rebuild
layers.
For step-by-step instructions, choose Help
and look up "rebuilding layers."
