Save As...
So, I'll start off by saying I love the CC3 and CD3 Programs (as those are the only two I've used thus far), and their ability to create amazing maps with relative ease, especially once you get the hang of them.
My only issue is...Save As... I've pretty much reached my limit with the issues this, supposedly, simple feature has. The Effects.dll seems to be the issue every time the program crashes while rendering. I've tried it on both my laptop (4 Gigs, 2.53 Dual Core) and my Desktop (8 Gigs, Dual-Quad Core Processors), and still it keeps crashing when I try to save as something else.. JPG, BMP, PNG it doesn't matter. Sometimes I can trick it by adding a symbol, saving, deleting symbol and saving, before doing my save as...SOMETIMES.. I've run CC3 Update 8, lasts about 5 seconds longer before it decides to crash....
I've tried various methods, including the command line save as, macros, everything. Do I really have to resort to downloading PDF Creator in order to save my maps in a fashion that allows people to see the details rather than the program simply being able to do this for me? Is anyone even trying to fix the problem? I'm just getting really frustrated that a program I paid decent money for doesn't function properly...especially a feature that SHOULD be functional considering all the apparent issues there's been regarding it...
Are there any workarounds out there that don't involve me downloading a 17 Meg PDF Creator File? Since my internet here is stupidly slow and I'm not back in civilization until Mid/End November...
Or am I relegated to print screen/jigsaw puzzling my map together?
