Problem with trace function on political border
Hi everyone,
I try to finish my first map. Before I lable the map, I want to make the political borders. I watch the tutorial from Joe and try to do it on my own map.
My problem is, that after I made the first border and try to make the next country the trce function do not fit to the first border. There are parts where the trace function don`t "go" along the border, for example on a curve.
So I try it on a smaller part, just to look if it fit there and it works. Try it on the "bigger" country it dosn`t. So I draw the border new, but still the same effect. The trace function do not work on the hole border. No problems on the coastline, only at the border.
I have no idea what i make wrong. If anybody can help me that would be great.
THX!

Try making the border entity straight first (right click Explode ) then trace it, and then turn it back into a smooth entity.
Also note that due to the way smooth lines works (Actual curve being determined by neighboring nodes), there will always be a gap that the point where the trace starts and ends.
Perfect, thanks for the quick help!
