NEWBIE HELP - How to...
Hi everyone
Just got working with CC3 a few days ago, GREAT GREAT tool. So hyped about what you can actually do without too much work.
Anyway I found a mapstyle on the homepage here I would like to try and practice working on. I haven't however found a good way to start yet, so I thought some map-pro's could manage to give me a few hints.
The map I refer to is this:

Best regards

The author uses home made symbols, and other fonts.
If you own CC3, you can of course also download the map and use the same symbols. For that open the map and the symbol manager (symbols>symbol manager). Select all the symbols you wish and save them in a catalog of your own to locate in CC3\Symbols\maps\
As the map is freely downloadable I suppose you can use them. I don't know about commercial use, though...
To make such a map, using the videos Gandwarf rightly mentionned would help you greatly. You just have to use those symbols, fill styles and sheet effect. Note that you can have more than one instance of CC3 open at the same time...
