Tools not appearing...
Hi everyone!
I am coming back after a long inactive period of using CC3+ (I have version 3.98 loaded). I have downloaded the Tome of Ultimate Mapping and am trying to ease myself back into it by starting with the tutorial. However, after I have made my land mass, and using the Fractalize tool to make my coastline look better, I went to put the coast line in, but when I clicked on the ship to locate the Coast Outline Tool, it wasn't there and I cannot find it anywhere. Any ideas?
I have all of the expansions, etc. Advice here? I've included a screenshot
.
Thanks!

Right click the ALL DRAWING TOOLS button on the left (the crossed hammer and pencil). Is the tool you are looking for there?

The reason why it is not there is because CC3+ is a very style-based program, that is, the available tools and how they are set up are done individually for every style. The guides in the Tome use the CC3 Mike Schley overland style for the main tutorials, while your screenshots shows you are using CC3 Standard overland for your map. These are two different styles, the latter being quite a bit older, with different tools available.
These two styles does the sea contours a bit differently, but as Calibre said, you'll find all the drawing tools for a style by clicking the All Drawing Tools All Map Drawing Tools
button. Selected tools often appear in the symbol catalog window for convenience, but it is here you will find all the tools.
