CC3+ Symbol artifact

in Mapping with ProFantasy's Software
Playing around with CC3+ today and the latest annual Historical Style and saw this artifact attached to a symbol. It sort of gets in the way of things. Is there any way to fix it?

    It's a bug with the symbol image itself. To fix it, open up @Symbols\Maps\Local Area\Mountains\Mountain lrg3_??.PNG (all four resolutions) in an image editor, and erase that artifact to the top right of the image.

    Thanks, that's what I thought. Just did not know where these images were nor did I know there were multiples :)

    Shouldn't this one be a easy one for ProFantasy to fix and update so new customers don't have to fix it themselves?

    Just curious, as a college student going for an MBA with a concentration in Marketing, I think about this kind of stuff a lot more than when I worked in the information technology field or when I worked as a Director of Human Resources.

    Thanks

    Very likely Profantasy is in the process of updating add-ons and years of Annuals to work wth CC3+.

    We help each other here, the majority of us are users of the software.

    @CharlesWayneRobinson: Yes, it is. But I am not a ProFantasy employee, so I can't do that. Thus, it is better for me to give advice the customer can use to fix this immediately without having to wait for an official fix. Fixing a minor issue such as this yourself also save you from having to download the files again.

    @JimP and CharlesWayneRobinson - This already is an annual for CC3+. Technically it should have been done as pointed out and my guess is that they will now that is has. They know not everyone has the skills or time to dig into programs pieces and fix them. I posted this so that they could deal withg it and I knew someone else would point me to a quick fix should I desire to fix myself (thanks Monsen).

    Well, I rarely have spare time to look for things like this. A quick fix is fine with me. I have spent so much time over the past 12 months working on my Crestar site... I am thinking about taking a break from mapping for a month or so.

    @JimP - Sometimes you have to take a break. It's amazing how much head way you make when you get back at it again afterward.

    But... I have around 1000 maps to update. :-)

    Well, I have been looking at taking up hiking and camping again. Doubt I'll be hiking long diastances, say 2182 miles.

    Thanks Monsen,

    It is great to have fixes that we can use until an official fix is in place.

    I know that you have helped me a lot over the small time that I have been on the forum and I really appreciate it.

    I just think about the business side of things a lot more than I used to (Sort of been drilled into me over the past year and nine months).

    Wow JimP, a 1000 maps! That is a lot - ha, ha!

    I am still working on my world map and that will take me a good while.

    Not to mention the eventual city maps and battle maps for my campaigns that I cobbled together since the early 1980's.

    I like mapping, it is relaxing. Even when it is just placing woods and such.

    It is a lot like when I am painting historical/fantasy miniatures or when I am doing research.

    But re-doing a 1000 maps has to be daunting!

    I think that this is the fourth time that I updated my world map, but this is only the second one that I did using a computer program (the first two were hand drawn)

    It is funny, the one other one that I did that was on a computer was done using Microsoft Excel. :-)

    I had slightly over 2000 maps done, decided I didn't like them. I'm redoing them using the newer Annuals.

    This time around, instead of using my drawings on 5mm hexgon paper from the 1980s, and making larger and larger maps... I made two rectangular maps in FT3, exported them. And started making small maps out of areas on the two large hemisphere maps.

    Using FT3 to make Cosmographer planet maps for my Traveler site is much easier. But then I have to setup menus to connect them, update sub-sector and sector maps, etc. 524 done so far.

    Oh!

    I am a old school Traveler fan.
    I still have the old hardback rule book. :-)

    Fixed installers for this Annual (CC3 and CC3+) have been uploaded. It just took a little time since I was on holiday.
