We have started using more XWMS files recently. Our State has servers supplying some data, but we also know of some USGS data. At this web page: https://basemap.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/rest/services/USGSTopo/MapServer and on it are links for WMS and an online viewer.
We tried setting up the XWMS file using the information provided on the WMS link, but all we get is the missing image tiles.
So has anyone gotten this to work and if so, would you be willing to share your XWMS file.
Hi Chuck,
I was able to get it to work. I've never done it before, so it took a bit of trial and error to get there.
The XWMS file is attached.(I had to zip it to upload)

Hope this helps,Ron

I got that to work in CONNECT. But on our V8i Ss10 platform, still no joy. So if anyone has suggestions for V8i Ss10, I'm still looking. We have a lot of projects in the pipeline and with COVID, our resources are stretched too thin to allow any efforts on conversion to CONNECT. As an InRoads shop, there it too much workspace related overhead one both the users side and my support side to migrate projects to the CONNECt platform right now.
