Image in FCW File is RedX in Exported PNG
Good morning! (Well, it's morning where I am, at least).
I produced a high quality png export of my Sihjul map and everything turned out beautifully, except for my "maker's mark" symbol. This is inserted into the map via the "insert file" command, and it shows up perfectly in the CC3+ drawing. But when I exported it as a PNG that image became a red x.
I'd very much appreciate any help on figuring out why this is happening.
I'm attaching the FCW file and a screenshot of the area of the map both in the FCW and the PNG, in case those are helpful for anyone who might be able to explain what's happening here.

It's most likely a large export with the max pixels per pass setting high combined with a large image that's causing the system to run out of memory when it tries to load the image. The failure to load an image will manifest as a red X regardless of cause.
Depending on how everything is happening, it may also just be how the pieces fall together in memory. Try a restart of the program and do your export immediately. This sequence will prevent holes in memory that waste space. If that doesn't work, try reducing the max pixels per pass until you get two passes (or more than you have now, at any rate), which will reduce the total required memory image. The final (and least desirable) option would be to reduce the resolution of your image.
Thanks, jslayton. Looks like reducing the resolution is going to have to be the one - neither of the other two changed. I could also just take out the maker's mark, I suppose :)
Is the Maker's Mark very high resolution? Could you try with a lower res version?
I have a .png brand of our RPG group in black and another white version and it is 370KB in size. We have even printed with it in A0 size and it turned out very well.

Yah, it's high, and I can reduce it fairly significantly and it will still look fine. I misread and was thinking I'd need to reduce the resolution of the entire image, but if it's just the mark that's not nearly as bad.
