confused about trace

tom

Hi, I'm a very new user to CC3, and I've seen references in posts here as well as in the first annual to functionality allowing the tracing of a coastline when drawing (e.g. drawing a political boundary or terrain type like a swamp).

For the life of me I cannot get the 'T' button (or for that matter 't') to do anything resembling tracing. Instead it just updates the command prompt to read "Next point: T".

All I want to do is snap the edge of a swamp to the coastline it abuts against.

Anyone have any advice?

Thanks, Tom

Next point means to click the next spot along the area to be traced. Right click should close/end it.
