Landsplosion!
I've been playing around with switching betwen symbol sets to make a B&W overland map (specifically, using Mike Schley Inks and the base and adding in CA44 landform.)
The experiment really didn't work out, and now it looks like I've broken the drawing style - whenever I want to use the land default drawing style, I get something like this:
I think I found the problem - it looks like somehow the default style broke:
It looks like Land, Default tool for the MSI style got replaced by the Landforms drawing tool? If I change the tool to the Landforms tool by hand I get the same issue, whereas if I choose the... I duno, the non-inks Mike Schley tool, or the fractal box/circle options it works fine.
I've tried creating a new Mike Schley inks map from scratch, and it's still broken. How can I fix it?
Also, I don't think I did anything that would have overridden the template (just changed the master filter options for the switch styles tool) but if anyone has an idea how I broke it so I can avoid doing it in the future, it'd be much appreciated. Finding CC3+ to be a great tool, but also a bit of a minefield at the moment.
Thanks!

If you have edited a drawing tool and saved it in its new state it will be the same in any drawing. They are not part of the template. I'm not sure what's happening there, but if you reinstall the annual (if that is where the drawing tool originates that might set the matter right for you.
At a wild guess you might be getting artefacts if the nodes on that polygon are too close together, though they would have to be nearly right on top of each other all the way around for that kind of effect shown in your screen shot. Maybe you set the fractalisation too high?
Could be the polygon crosses itself. Something I do rather oftrn.
Hello
Thanks everyone - Dalton's reply led me to the answer:
I looked up the default land for the color Mike Schley, and the fixed width was of .01 - that fixed the problem, but I had to put it up to .02 to match the lands I had already drawn. I must have had a look at these options at some point and inadvertently changed something.
Cheers!
I make maps, and don't post them. Yours looks better than my old maps.
