Dear all,
I'am new here, my company just bought Powerdraft connect edition update 5.
I want to use the bing maps data in Powerdraft so i followed the tutorial to get it done.
I have an bing key and made a new variable in the configuration variables and put there my bing key.
Still it does'nt work, i get every time an error code
Can anyone help me, to solve this problem
Kind regards

PS. sorry for the bad english.
Hi Evert,
Seem like a connection problem.
If change {BingMapsKey} in the following URL with you Bing key and paste it in a browser are you receiving some XML data?
http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/V1/Imagery/Metadata/aerial?o=xml&incl=ImageryProviders&key={BingMapsKey}
If so does the XML data contains the following?
<AuthenticationResultCode>ValidCredentials</AuthenticationResultCode>
If not you seem to have a problem with your connection or your key.
HTH,
Mathieu
Hi Mathieu,
Thanx for your reply.
I did what you asked and it seems to me that i get that sentence in the XML data
See this screendump:
So if that works, do you maybe have another solution?
Thanx for helping

The URL in the message center is not the same as the one we are using internally (the URL in the message center is mostly used to link the raster to the error message).
Is that possible that you are accessing the internet using a Proxy server?
Thanks,
The environment variable and Bing Map key must be set for each application that you are going to use Bing Map. We are assuming that you are using the license key that you received from
Google.
Did you do the following
Open PowerDraft Connect 5
File > Settings > Configuration > Configuration Variables > New
Variable: MS_RASTER_BINGMAP_KEY
New Value: “Your Bing Map License Key”
Ok
Exit PowerDraft
Open PowerDraft
Attached are 2 wiki links about setting up Bing Map. If you would like you can file a Service Request and I will contact you.

Ok i understand.
It's not that i know that we are accessing the internet through an proxy server.
I wil ask our ICT boys.
Thanx for your time
