CC2 : No matching draw tool
Hi all,
I just downloaded SS3. I have CC3 and CD3 installed on my computer. I have some issues with CD3 also, but I've figured out a work around with that so I'll stick with this for now.
When I try to select any of the first eight tools on the top left it gives me the error saying that:
No matching draw tool
There is no draw tool matching your selection in the current draw tool style.
What confuses me is that the header for the error says CC2. (You can see all this in a file I am attaching) I get the same error sometimes in CD3.
I'm assuming I should be able to access these tools as they look different than the others for CC3 and CD3. This may be related to some other problems I have in CC3 and CD3 where when I switch symbol styles and it suddenly can't find any symbols at all. So I have to go through the files manually looking for what I want. It's like the program doesn't always know where stuff is or gets lost as it tries to navigate it's way around.
Any thoughts or solutions?
Thanks,

For the drawing tools to work, you need to load the correct template. Start a map from any CD3 template, load the correct menu and the drawing tool buttons should work.
The "CC2" heading in the error message is a legacy piece of text in the code, which we'll fix in one of the upcoming patches. Nothing to worry about, it's just that little heading name and doesn't affect anything.
I get the same error when I try to create an overland map and then switch to DD3. I only have CC3, DD3, and CD3 installed. I'm trying to design a hut on a coastline. I tried changing the drawtools style under drawing properties- but the only thing that shows up for floors is flat color, none of the nice cobblestone, or marble etc. How do I get past this?
To make these available in the map, use the Draw -> Insert menu to insert a dungeon map (The .fcw file) into your overland drawing. Then use undo to remove it again. All the fill styles from that map should now be available. Just make sure the map you inserted is the correct one for the draw tools set you are going to use.
The insert procedure in itself will copy the fill style definitions you need into the overland map, so you can use them. Just use UNDO immediately after inserting the dungeon map. This will completely remove the map you inserted, but the fill styles will remain.
"Darnit CC3, you're so darn complicated. There isn't a learning "curve" it's a sheer-face! I don't know how many times I've given up on you...."
Everything's fine and dandy. OK.
I then select the "Add Corridor" button. Cancel it and reselect the "Floor" button.
The error returns! Why?
Incorrect updates/compatabilities installed.
Also, ensure you are running version 3.24 (current version).
I have tried to replicate the error, but it is not happening
Another thought is this: Right Click on the FLOOR TOOL button. The pop-up should display Floor Samples and state it's STYLE is Dungeon DD3 Color.
If not, then likely something is happening when you click on the ADD CORRIDOR button to deselect the DD3 styles.
When I select the Dungeon Menu, I get the choices, but I can't use the DD3 drawing tools, on a map I created before I had DD3 downloaded. (In CC3\ExampleszES-Tutorial01.FCW I can make rooms and corridors, but not Floors and Default walls. I assume this is the same behaviour, but with part of it obliterated by the map I have chosen.)
If you go to File: Drawing Properties, you can set the actual Toolset that is being used.
HOWEVER this may not include all the bitmap files, so the other thing to do is:
Convert CC2 - CC3
you'll notice that there are some which are 'just add drawing tools' these just do that... the tools will all work properly.
If that fails then the way mentioned before works, create a blank file of the type your trying to use, insert it and bang everything works.. I've got 1 or two templates I use that just have everything on them so 1 insert = all the tools etc avalible.
