Using CanMap Streetfiles
Viewing CanMap Streetfiles
Packaged with CanMap Streetfiles are several custom viewing files: MapInfo Workspaces (*.wor);
ArcView and ArcGIS Project Files (*.apr and *.mxd); or MapGuide Map Window Files (*.mwf). Located in
the general content directory, these viewing files have been provided to maximize the ease of use of
CanMap Streetfiles by opening and intelligently layering various data layers and displaying them based
on appropriate viewing scales.
If you wish to use CanMap Streetfiles without the aid of the viewing files, please refer to Appendix E:

Please Note: The Municipality Amalgamation File is intended to be used as a supplementary Census
Subdivision boundary with CanMap Streetfiles and CanMap RouteLogistics. Amalgamations are defined
as a consolidation of two or more entire municipalities. Amalgamations are differentiated from
annexations in that an annexation is the process of a given municipality incorporating one or more partial
municipalities. The file contains:
• Amalgamations from the 1996 census until Summer 2002
• New Census Subdivisions added in the 2001 census
• Census Subdivision Type revisions from 1996
• Census Subdivision Name revisions from 1996

Appendix H: Shorelined vs Unshorelined Boundaries
DMTI Spatial’s standard boundaries are all referred to as “unshorelined”. Unshorelined means that the
boundary will not necessarily reflect the physical shoreline. DMTI Spatial products packaged with
boundary files will be shipped with a generalized nationwide coarse water file (CANwat). It is
recommended when viewing DMTI Spatial’s boundary files, that the coarse water file be placed above the
boundary file as seen in the following diagrams.
“Unshorelined” boundaries shown with coarse water
layer beneath the boundary file – Not recommended
Unshorelined” boundaries shown with coarse water
layer on top - Recommended
DMTI Spatial produces a higher resolution water file that is supplied with the purchase of CanMap
Streetfiles and CanMap RouteLogistics. This detailed water file (AREAhy) is available in topographic
coverage areas only, and may be viewed with DMTI Spatial’s boundary files using the same layering
technique described above.
In custom orders, “Shorelined” boundaries are also available from DMTI Spatial. These boundaries are
created using a subset of the coarse water file. Major water bodies are extracted, and then superimposed
onto the boundaries, creating a “shorelined” effect.

CanMap Label Tool for ArcView 3.x
DMTI Spatial provides ArcView 3.x users with a tool that allows the user to automatically label certain
layers in the CanMap Streetfiles and CanMap RouteLogistics project files. Using this tool eliminates the
build-up of labels contained within the project file itself thereby maintaining a manageable file size.
Overview
There are two custom built buttons to manage the standard labeling of CanMap Streetfiles and CanMap
RouteLogistics. The first is the CanMap Label Button used to create the standard labels for the current
extent of the view
from the entire view
, and the second is the CanMap Remove Labels Button used to remove labels
. They are both located in the view’s button bar to the left of the Help button.
Usage
CanMap Label Button:
1. Click the CanMap Label Button
2. Before the labels are drawn, all existing labels will be deleted, except for user-customized labels (i.e.
labels that have been manually added using Arcview’s label tool, or moved on selected themes
shown in Table 1).
CanMap Remove Labels Button:
1. Click the CanMap Remove Labels Button
2. The user will be asked to confirm that they do in fact want to proceed in the deletion of the labels. If
they choose No, all labels will be left as as. If they click Yes, another prompt will ask “Do you want to
delete CanMap Label tool created labels only?” If they click ‘Yes’, only the labels created with the
CanMap Label Button will be deleted. By choosing ‘No’, all labels (including user-customized) will be
deleted.
Notes
•
Themes are labeled depending on the current scale of the view. (See Table 1 for the themes that are
labeled and the scale ranges during which labels are applied). Each theme has predefined scale
ranges to determine when it will be labeled (e.g. municipalities are labeled at scales between
1:1,000,000 and 1:100,000).
•
Labels are created only for the visible extent of the view when using the CanMap Label Button.
•
When the user changes the scale of the view (i.e. zooming in or out or manually changing the scale
value) all labels in the entire view (except for any user-customized labels) will be deleted.
•
When the user moves a label (i.e. using the pointer tool), that label is subsequently considered to be
a user-customized label.
•
If the user manually adds a label (using ArcView’s label tool) to one of the layers labeled by the
CanMap Label Button, the label will automatically be changed to the size and font style defined by the
CanMap Label Button for that layer. The label is then subsequently considered to be a usercustomized label.
•
If the newly added label overlaps another existing user-customized label with the same text, the
newly created label will not be applied. If the existing label is not a user-customized label then the
existing label will be removed and replaced by the new user-customized label.

•
Labels created with the CanMap Label Button will function like labels created using ArcView’s autolabeling tool (e.g. if you change the size and/or font style for one label in the roads theme, all labels
for the roads theme will change as well.) User-customized labels are independent.
•
The CanMap Label Tool is not customizable, but does not prohibit the user in any way from using
ArcView’s label or auto-labeling tools to custom-label any theme or themes in any manner so desired.

MapGuide Users:
Unique ID Field
A unique identification field (UniqueId) has been added to the end of most file structures for the specific
purpose of generating reports. The UniqueId field (Decimal 11,0) is in no way related to other unique
identification fields found in other files such as rds, hrd, hwy.
CanMap Data Set Configuration for MapGuide
1. Installing the Files
Once the files are on the local hard drive, it is recommended that you move the sdf and dbf files to
another directory where they can be better protected from the Internet. Please refer to MapGuide’s user
manual for permissions and security recommendations.
The following folders will be provided:
Folder
dbms\Canada
dbms\AREA
docs
images
maps
mlf
reports
scripts
sdf\AREA
sdf\Canada
Description
databases for Canada directory
databases for desired geographic area
files for setup etc
wmf, bmp, tiff, jpeg, etc.
map window files
map layer files, if available
Cold Fusion templates
if available
MapGuide spatial data files for desired geographic area
MapGuide spatial data files for Canada directory
2. Web Setup (if required)
If the files are moved to other directories, drives or machines than specified above, you will have to create
new paths. MapGuide and Cold Fusion support UNC paths but they may require setup where they are
installed to take advantage of this distributed environment. In order to create reports, you may have to
modify paths in the Map Window Files (.mwf). See the MapGuide documentation on MapGuide’s website
www.mapguide.com.
3. MapGuide Setup
In MapGuide Server Admin, there is a path setting for both sdf directories. To set up the pathways, see
instructions below:
•
Default path: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MapGuideServer4\sdf
•
sdf search path: default path + your own paths to sdf directories separating each sub-directory
listing with semi-colons
•
The path directories are NOT case sensitive.

4. ODBC Setup
•
The database setups are required so that thematic maps for roads or land use can be displayed
and report queries can be generated.
•
You will receive a set of dbf files for each project. It is recommended that you import the dbf files
into an ODBC compliant relational database management system (e.g. Access, SQL Server) that
allows the key fields to be indexed. Index the fields that define the unique database field and any
field that has a theme generated from it (e.g. Carto field in the street layers).
•
DSN’s can be set up through the Control Panel > ODBC or using the Cold Fusion Administrator.
•
Settings are NOT case sensitive.
•
If you are using Control Panel, each Data Source must be a System DSN not a User DSN.
•
If you are not using Cold Fusion, then you will have to convert the .cfm templates into your
preferred reporting language.
5. MapGuide Window File Setup
The files you will receive will point to DMTI_MAPGUIDE. Each mwf file will have to be modified to use
your Intra/Internet server name.
•
Open the mwf file and select all the layers in the left hand column. > Right click over these layers
and select Properties… > replace dmti_mapguide with your web server name (e.g. www.
.com)
•
From the pull-down menus:
o
o
o
o
o
o
•
Select File > Properties… to bring up the mwf properties.
Select the Reports Tab > Under the Properties URL
Replace dmti_mapguide with your web server name for each report.
Reports that can be generated include; all Roads layers (rds,hwy,hrd), POI
layers, the lur layer and the mun layer.
Select the Zoom Goto Tab to replace dmti_mapguide with your web server
name.
Zoom Goto’s are provided for the Municipal Centroids (munc) layer.
Select OK for the Properties Dialogue box and Save the Map Window File.
