Two small problems.

Beowulf · October 2015

I'm having difficulty with two hopefully small things.

First, I'm having a lot of difficulty putting anything on the layers/sheets where I want them to go. I pick the tool, then re-select the sheet and the layer and the minute I place a symbol or draw, it is back on the default layer for that type of item. I have. Some of the terrain drawing has a check box for Insert on current layer. I've checked that and it doesn't matter.

Second, I need to scale terrain default, grasslands and terrain default, swamps down but they simply will not scale. Terrain default forest scaled just fine. What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Symbols and tools that are set up with a predefined sheet will ignore user selection, they will always go to the configured sheet. What you can do here is to take advantage of sheet naming. Almost all symbols are configured to go to the SYMBOLS* sheet. The asterisk at the end is a wildcard, and basically means that if the current sheet starts with the word SYMBOLS, put the symbol there, if not, place it on the sheet SYMBOLS. So if you wish your cities to go to a separate sheet, name this sheet SYMBOLS CITIES, and make it active before placing city symbols (and make sure it is NOT the active sheet when placing other symbols). Drawing Tools are likewise configured, just find the sheet the tool goes to, then create a new sheet that starts with the exact same text. Obviously, if you only need to move a couple of entities, you can just as easily use change properties on them after placing them.

To scale terrain fills, you need to open up the fill style dialog, go to the Bitmap Files tab, find the correct fill type (It might not be named the same as the drawing tool) and change the scaling of it.
