Hey, can you copy a land mass from one CC3 file to another CC3 file?
Thanks,
JSM

    Yes, that's quite possible. Open two instances of CC3 and use the clipboard copy (ctrl-c) and paste (ctrl-v) to paste entities from one map to the other.

    Please note that there is currently a glitch in CC3 that entities can be copied multiple times - avoid that by setting the current sheet to "Common" in both maps before doing the copy.

    Ooh. Good to know! Thanks Ralf.

  • With that said Ralf, what do I use to SELECT the entity? The Copy button does not copy to the clipboard.

  • Never mind Ralf. I should have followed those instructions literally. Works fine if one pays attention LOL.

  • Hey Ralf,
    I do have another question. My first map has 5 landmasses on it. Every time I do Ctrl-C on that map and then Ctrl-V on the second map, I always end up with the same land mass. How do I tell CC3 which land mass I want? Speaking of which, if I wanted all of them how do I tell it I want all land masses?
    Thanks,
    JSM

    I just did a quick test. When I used Ctrl+C (same as CLIPCOPY in the Command Line), CC3 did give me a selection cursor to let me pick the entities I wanted to copy. This was true whether I used the keyboard shortcut or the Edit menu option. I tried, both, clicking individual entities as well as dragging a box over the items I wanted to select. Both options worked. When I right-clicked and chose Do it, it asked for the origin, which defaulted to 0,0.

    When I used Ctrl+V (CLIPINS) in the target instance of CC3, the Command Line read, Place. It didn't explicitly ask me for an origin but the Command Line ended in a colon, so I tried entering 0,0 and then pressing Enter, and it worked just as I'd expected. I could also simply left-click where I wanted to paste, which let me "stamp" multiple copies in different locations, if I chose.

  • Thanks Dogtag. That's what I was looking for. By the way, are you going to be at Gencon Indy this year? (Question for Dogtag and Ralf)

    2014? I'm hoping to go again, yes.

  • Yes 2014. What year were you thinking? LOL. Well in any event, I am too. It might be cool to hook up for lunch or something if you want to.
