Exporting an arbitrary portion of FT3 map to CC3+?

Hi all,

Newbie here. I've RTFM'd but can't figure out if there is a way to select a portion of a FT3 world and export it to CC3+. I know you can choose to export the whole world in multiple files, but I'd like to zoom in on a continent and export it.

    Zoom in wherever you want, and then do a File -> Save campaign cartographer file

    Thank you! So simple that it didn't occur to me.

    If you want to do a multi-file export base on the current zoom, you'll need to use File>>Export>>Multiple Image Files and check the "Use View as basis" checkbox in the Multiple Image Export dialog.

    If you want just a single FCW file saved to CC3+, use File>>Save Campaign Cartographer File as Monsen suggests.

    It's also possible to use the named views feature in FT to define multiple views of the world and export them all in one pass. This feature is useful if you want to have some particular maps that you'll export multiple times, perhaps due to changes in the shape of the lands over time.
