Is there a way to prepare CC2 maps so when you convert them to CC3 maps everything is where its supposed to be? I converted a floorplan and all the furniture is now behind the floor layer.
As far as I know, CC2 didn't work with sheets like CC3. You probably got everything on the common sheet. If the layers were correct, maybe selecting everything on a layer and putting it on a coresponding sheet (to create) might help you.
I used two methods to convert over 600 CC2 maps to CC3. I haven't done all of them. Just 1200 to go. Well, I am not sure how many are done, but there are slightly over 1,800 surface maps on my web site.
Anyway, the methods.
1) save as a bmp, import bmp into CC3. Draw. Save as often.
2) under the File Menu, you will see a CC2 to Cc3 conversion menu selection. It creates sheets. You do have to move items, likely on layers, on the resulting map to the correct sheet. save as often.
"Save As' filename001, work a few minutes, 'Save as' to filename002, etc. The sanity you save is your own.
I came up with many of my methods late at night. I used to be active on the Yahoo CC2-l maling list via their web site. Since posts late at night didn't usually show up for me until the next afternoon, I had to figure things out without feedback from others. My previous job was 6 PM to 6 AM. 12 hours. I coudn't leave. So I asked my then boss if I could work on my web sites. He said as long as I didn't slack on my job. So, that is how I got so much done. My Crestar site was first started in 1999.
Presumably the process could be automated via macro script. It would be a matter of setting SELBYL (select by layer) and running a series of move-to-sheet commands.

That's basically what the built-in converter does now. The need to move stuff manually usually occur when the entities are not on the appropriate layer, so the converter doesn't know where they should belong.
KK, ty Joachim. Didn't think I had to do the conversion, but better to check than to muck something up. I'll just work on the maps without converting them, putting the new objects on the proper sheets, then delete the old stuff when finished.

Well, not quite that fast.

Happy mapping.
I play too many mmorpgs.
