Crashing when changing fill
Has anyone else had this, and were they able to overcome it, if so how?
I am attempting to change the fill on a Relief/Contour entity from a solid colour to a bit map fill (in this case land dark green)
I select the entity using select by colour (93 in this case). This picks up the polygons fine. Then setting the change fill pattern to land dark green the program crashes. It does not crash if I change the polygon from one colour to another but is crashing all the time when using a bitmap fill.
It generated this message
An unhandled win32 exception occurred in fcw32.exe (1016)
Any suggestions?
PS I have done this on two different machines with the same result. The only odd thing about the file was that I copied a bunch of symbols, rivers etc from a smaller map into this one which is a larger area.

Anyway I have attached a copy of the map as exported by FT3 to see if anyone can make something of the problem.
In the export settings in FT, there is an option to have the contour lines multiplies. You may wish to try exporting your map with this option off.
Changed the fill pattern for both from solid colour to bitmap. This worked on both versions! while the maps were in the original size as exported from FT3. However both produced a program crash when either the zoom expanses or zoom out buttons were pressed. So sort of stuck now.
One thing I did notice was that a number of sheets had been duplicated (Political Borders and Cartouches) in the CC3 file. This did not occur with the zoomed in section when I exported this to CC3.
Oh yes the duplicated sheets - Cartouches and Political Borders are still being generated.
Anyway I have attached the map in case someone can tell me what is wrong with it and how to fix it.
Unhandled exception at 0x0045523c in fcw32.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x000002f5.
Don't know if that will help.
I have one more thing to try since I have a copy which will open on the original computer. Based on the discussion above it looks like the problem will be on the Relief Contours layer. I am wondering if I reexport the map portion from FT3 at the lower slider rate whether I will be able to copy everything except that layer over to a new map. I'll let you know how this goes.
I did try copying everything over to a new iteration of the map with a much lower FT3 slider setting and this seemed to work but the difference between the two coastlines, lakes etc were to much of a pain to correct.
