MGDwgDataSources.setNameTable

Syntax

boolean setNameTable(string NameTable)

Description

Sets the name of the DWG table for MapTips about feature properties, external database links, or object data in the Autodesk DWG.

If this method is successful, it automatically sets the layer's rebuild flag to True. See setRebuild for more information.

When changing the name table, several other properties may also have to be updated, including NameColumn.

Note that this method does not work during a busy state. For additional information about the busy state, refer to "Handling Busy State and Map Refresh" in the Autodesk MapGuide Developer's Guide.

Parameters

NameTable - The name of the name table.

Returns

boolean - Returns True if successful and rebuild occurs when the property changes.

Example

This code is designed to work with the 1stfloorplanEx6.mwf file used by the Filter DWG Layers example:

function setProperties()
{
   // Get the map and selected features
   var map = getMap();
   var mapSel = map.getSelection();
   // Use the single map layer Floor Plan
   var mapLayer = map.getMapLayer("Floor Plan");
   // Get DWG data source object for the layer
   var mapLayerSetup = mapLayer.getLayerSetup();
   var dwgMapLayerDataSource = mapLayerSetup.getDwgDataSources();
   dwgMapLayerDataSource.setNameTable("newNameTable");
}
