NEW DRAWING WIZARD ISSUE: CC3+ w/ DD3

wmsmitty

When creating a new file from the New Drawing Wizard templates, I have available to me a map style called "CC3 dungeon". When I select this template and start to work with it, I get the following error when I click on Default Wall Icon from the tool menu:

No matching draw tool

There is no draw tool matching your selection in the current draw tool style.

Any ideas why this is happening? Am I not suppose to use this style in DD3? Rather new to this mapping software, so please bear with me; but it would seem to me that if this template is available it should allow me to use some of the base tool features..yes? When I select a different template like DD3 dungeon, I do not get this error. Are there cases when you select a tool that there might not be available a matching draw tool?

If you have DD3, you should use the DD3 Dungeon style instead. CC3 Dungeon is basically just a cut-down version of that. That said it is strange, that there are no matching drawing tools. I'll check it out.

That's because there are no 'default' versions of the tools.

@anyonenotRalf:
The drawing tool buttons looks for certain tool names, like the wall button looks for Wall, Default when you click it, but this sample subset doesn't have any tools named Default. You can still right-click the buttons to get up a list of appropriate tools.

Okay, so according to @Monsen, there are templates that do exist in the wizard that may not have matching draw tools; and this is "expected". I'm good with that answer if this is by design; just thought it a bit weird in functionality.

Just the same, please let me know what you find out @Ralph.

It is "by design" because the CC3 Dungeon style is really just a preview for owners of CC3 to test out DD3 and create simple dungeons without owning DD3 itself, so the tools for this particular style were never meant to be used with the DD3 menus/toolbars (Because users of the CC3 dungeons style don't normally own DD3, and won't have those toolbars [thus they won't even have the buttons that produce the 'no matching draw tool error]).
But taking it a bit further, there are styles out there that do not have a certain kind of drawing tool (Often because that particular type of tool is not needed for that style of map), so you may encounter this from time to time. But for his particular style, as long as you own DD3, you should really never use the CC3 dungeon style, but stick to the DD3 dungeon one.

@Monsen, thank you! Makes perfect sense now.
