Editing Hyperlinks (& copying from one map to another...)

magpie_roost · June 2015

Hi folks.

Is it possible to edit the map to map hyperlinks? I'm trying to create a multilevel floor plan, my 2nd floor file got trashed so I replaced it with a copy of my 1st floor file. (Something I might want to do more of in the future since I also can't figure out how to copy entities from one map to another, so now I have something I can edit that has the right shape of the second floor...) Now I want to fix the hyperlinks.

Any instructions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You can edit hyperlink hotspots using the Numeric Edit [#] button, then clicking the edge of the hotspot box

To copy objects between maps, you need to open two instances of CC3, one with the source map, the other with the destination. You can then use Copy and Paste from the Edit dropdown menu to do the job.

Hope that helps

Thanks, pdj!

It worked (though I had to find the command via the menu because I'm actually running on parallels on a mac (and my slightly mis-mapped windows keyboard isn't always connected.). My links are correct now.

Also, I had kept trying to open multiple windows in CC3, it never occurred to me to open more than one instance of the program.

I think I'm going to enjoy this program very much. Especially with such a helpful forum crowd. Due to the cost and uncertainty concerning if I could get it to run on my OS, I had literally waited years to buy this program. I finally gave in and gave it a try. Glad I did.

With much appreciation,
