To use TRACED you need to have a silhouette shape. For example, if you have a land shape you particularly don't want to have to draw all over again in CC3 it is easier to use one of the free bitmap editors, like GIMP, to select and delete the oceans and (I thought this was necessary, but apparently not) turn the rest black...

The example in this blog isn't a silhouette, so maybe you don't have to go that far - only remove the oceans and leave that part transparent. There's more information on exactly how to do this here:

LOL!

Thanks Wyvern :)

This is slightly out of date at the moment as I've been a bit busy lately, but this is a wall of links to all the annual issues. Hopefully you will be able to see what you are looking for there, and be able to make a shortlist of the best annuals for the purpose

https://forum.profantasy.com/discussion/10366/cartographers-annual-all-the-issues-linked-in-one-place

That is only the current year's annual. Once the year is completed all the issues are put into one installer.

Lovely maps appearing here, Ricko :)

I think the missing bit is attach, or F9. If you press the F9 key you should get the pick cursor, and the point will snap to the line you click on.

I'm not sure if the instructions are missing the F9 bit, or if things have changed in the interveining years.

Oh no, definitely not! This thread is one of the first I check each morning :)

I would enter it, Jeff :)

Hi Everyone :)

This week, Ralf will taking another walk through an older Cartographer's Annual issue: the Herwin Wielink Isometric Dungeons style from the 2012 CA, by creating an isometric floorplan without using Perspectives 3.

You can watch it here:

The reason there are two separate CA numbers is because the style was published in 2 parts several months apart.
