Custom Drawing Tool - macro problem
In one of the CC3 manuals, it says you can create dustom drawing tools, to run a macro. I cannot get this to work.
============
The relevant instructions are:
2. Click All map drawing tools , then click Advanced.
3. In the Custom drawing tools dialog, click New.
4. Type in a name for the new drawing tool. In our example, we named the tool Text, Default.
Click OK.
5. In the Macro Command section, click to put a check in the box for Use macro command.
Click Command to execute.
6. In the Macro Command dialog, erase anything
that might be there, then type these lines:
GL tx ^DEnter Text
TSPECF Tahoma
TSPECH 10
IFERR edtextm
TEXM
tx
^DPlace Text:
:edtextm
Be sure to hit after the last line is typed. Click OK.
7. In the Custom drawing tools dialog, click Save then click OK.
Our new drawing tool is created, and if we look at the Command Prompt, we see that we’re
ready to add text. The Command Prompt reads Enter Text.
============
When I try this, the command prompt says "Forest filler optiosn to load:" (even if I'm starting from a dungeon or other template and didnt use a forest based tool), and nothing happens when i click on the screen.
I'm using CC3 Plus btw. What's going on?
Edit: the onscreen prompt that follows the cursor says: forest filler optiosn to load: @system\fillers\CC3_MikeSchley_Deciduous.FIL FO
It says this no matter which drawing tool set i use as the base and try to create a new one.

Comments
I see the same thing happening on my end. Wonder if a patch changed something, I've definately made macro tools before.
I'll notify ProFantasy, have them look at this.
