How do I drill down from a global map to local area?
Hello all,
First of all, I hope this is the right category for this question: many pardons if it is not. QUESTION: I have a continent map I made using CC3+ that is 1000X800. I want to take part of the map ... the peninsula of the Western Reaches, for example ... and make a more detailed map out of it. I want to take the 100X80 that makes up the Western Reaches and blow that up to a 1000X800 map of it's own. I have no idea how to do that. I don't know if it's possible (it seems to me that it should be). Can anyone tell me how, or get me started on something to show me how to do that?
Thank you, Shin

If that's not what you wanted, just shout
When you are prompted for the paste origin, instead of entering the paste coordinates (zero comma zero), first enter a scale factor (for example 1.5 for a map that is 1.5 times longer in the width and height, or 2 for a map that is twice as long in the width and height, and so on - however much bigger you want it), and only then enter the paste coordinates zero comma zero.
I've no idea if that is an official way to do it, but it worked for me just now when I tried it.
Entering a scale also makes it more accurate than simply resizing it by stretching it with the cursor.
