In autodesk map we can't :
- altering the height of multi-textes.
- altering the height of Attributes Blocks.
- altering the style of multilignes (change the definition of roads).
- Print in the same moment with users.

We want an Autodesk MAP Center for exchange map objects (Queries, Objects Datas Tables, External Datas Bases, Objects Classes, Impression Sets ect...) between projects drawings.

Escuse me for my english.

I need to ask ho are you attempting to perform these modifications?
Is it through a query with Alter Properties function?

When you say Impression Sets...(in our English version Plot MAP Set)
This can be done with a shared query library.
However the Source drawings for that Impression Set, will have a lock
placed on them at the time the Plot map Set operation is run.
It sounds to me that you need to revise your work flow.
Try having a LIVE set of data that your users are adding or maintaining data
to. Then when the changes or additions have been verified, that data would
be added to a static data source. This static source, would be where the
source drawings should be attached from, as running a plot map set on
data that is being edited would not prove to be very useful.
You should also look at setting you MAP options to use a network location
for your shared query library, then all have access to them.

I can not tell if you have set up the multi-user administration so that many users
can query from the same data source to edit different types of data, and then save back to the source drawings. Have you established the SUPER USER, and are you
requiring user logins to MAP? (not your network, or the PC)
I think it would help me to help you better if we could get together in a chat session
and discuss your current MAP options and the many variables therein, and how
they impact your work. There is a setting in there that controls whether a block will be
redefined upon save-back or not, and it sounds like you might not have certain powerful
functions set correctly.
