Quickstart Guide - Change Properties -> Change Color is not working
Hello,
I purchased CC3, DD3 and CD3 today, and till now I am realy impressed by the possibilities of the software. But I stumbled across a problem while trying the Quick Start Guide.
At one point in it, I am asked the folowing:
"1 Right click Change Properties image\MCHANGE.jpg., then click Change Color.
2 Right click in the drawing area, then click Layer from the context menu.
Notice that the prompt reads Layer Name[dialog]:
3 You could type the layer name here, instead, right click to see the layer dialog box.
4 Click WATER/RIVERS so that it is highlighted in grey. Click OK.
All the rivers are selected.
5 Right click then click Do it.
The prompt reads New entity color [dialog]:
6 Right click to see the entity color dialog box. Click a suitable blue, OK.
The rivers are now a different color. "
When I try out these Steps, just nothing happens. I even tried to set the Rivers to red (so I can be sure to see if there color changes), but it just does nothing.
In the prompt it says "Command[CHANGEC]". Maybe I got something wrong, but I tried it many times and still can not make the Rivers have another color.
If I try the same thing with "Change Line Width", it works.
I would really apreciate, if someone could help me on this
PS: Sorry for my bad english, I am no native speaker.

Please do not mind the overall look of the map, I was just testing arround a bit, so it's all pretty chaotic
I recommend simply using change properties instread (Same button, just left click instead of right click). Basically, follow the rest of the steps, but after step 5, you will get a dialog where you can change the fill style as well as the color instead of just a prompt.
