World Map Down to Region Map and every step between.
This is the first map I have made using this program as I just purchased it yesterday morning and I am looking for some help on an issue.
Sorry if this has been extensively asked before, I used the search function and couldn't find anything when searching words like scale, export, zoom.
I have attached my current world map, this is on a 3000x2000 mile scale. I wanted this to be my WORLD MAP, so that I could get an idea of where each race in my campaign came from, so I could give a solid back story to why the campaign is happening and open up the campaign so that it could go any way the players want.
My one issue now is, how would I go about cutting this down to say, just work on the Crescent Moon area, or just the area labeled Passage Peak?
I want to bring the world map down to a continent map.
Then be able to bring that down to a Kingdom Map.
Then from there be able to bring it down to a Region Map.
I could just continually zoom and then add things, take a screen shot and then use the screenshot, but that to me defeats the purpose of being able to use the layers in different ways depending on the style map.
Also when I start adding a lot of things such as mountains, towns, rivers, forests, the program crashes as there ends up being a lot going on in the map (I have a very gamer/video processing heavy computer with a lot of RAM and CPU so that is not the issue here).
How would I go about taking what I already made, and then refining it to smaller locations?
Is there a way to cut and paste? Or Export what is only shown on the screen? Or perhaps a way to save the zoomed location as a new map? Or a way to all around resize?
I COULD always just make a new map, but then the coast lines would not match up, and/or, my mile scale would likely be way off.

How would I cut any entities at the borders? From using this tool I've seen a copy command, a move command, and an erase command, no cut.
I've looked for tutorials but can't find any
Thanks a ton for pointing me in the right direction!
