Combining Symbol collections

I've been using DD3 for about 7 months or so now. I've had CC3 and city designer for a little over a year...

I just recently purchased the Fantasy Floorplans Symbol Set and I wanted to know if there was a way to combine the symbol collections with the existing symbol collections from DD3 so that I could have access to all of them when mapping a dungeon level map.

I copied the image files for both sets to both sets of folders, (DD3 Color and Bitmap A) under the folders for DD3 and SS2, arranging them identically as they were for the folders; but that doesn't seem to work. I hope I didn't mess something up in the process. I also copied the .fsc files into both folders (DD3 and SS2) just in case this may have had something to do with it. This resulted in my opening a test map that gave me just the symbols from DD3 still, though the Treasure & Container folder had the symbols in that category from SS2.

Any advice on how I could combine the two and have access to all of them on the same map. Is it possible?

    You can directly import the symbols into the original symbol sets that are commonly selected. So say you are using furniture just open the map set that (symbol saved) of the say furniture set place the png's into the correct location or ensure you do not move them ever again or you will find the conection lost in all maps that use the symbols. To avoid this as it happens a lot if you decide to move things around you can leave the sets in original locations and make a copy in new location as well. Takes up a lot og memory png's are big. Once you have the png located just go to symbols select at top of menu bar and select import PNG's.

    You can also just do it all relitive to the actual location of the PNG files.



    Open the symbol drawing of say DD3 Color Bitmap A

    Go to the menu bar and select Symbols

    Go then to Import PNG

    For source folder entry select the file locations of SS2 pngs you will be using. (when I add symbol PNG's in my user sections I make a new folder named as the object type and date loading). Importing is esier as an all or nothing load so this makes it simpler. But since you are adding SS2 symbols to a current symbol set its straigt up all of them anyway.

    Do Not bother to change any of the other preselected options unless you do a lot of your own artwork its not important for you.

    Thats pretty much it.
