Note that there is no reason to go around remembering the EDITSHADING command from step 3, simply using :CC2EDIT: on the shaded entity will do the same job.

I'll need to refer you to their support then though. If this software provides additional services on top of windows for handling the files in their fences, only those who know that program would know if it stores a full copy or a link of things you put there.

Given the message you got, I would assume a full copy, but that's just blind guessing.

It should be easy enough to test though. Just create your own sacrificial folder with some junk files or copies of existing files in it, then add that to your fence, and then try to delete it again and see if anything happens to the original. Since this isn't related to CC3+ in any way, the behavior seen with that folder should be the same as with the CC3+ folder you added.

You don't need to install on c:\

What happens when you install CC3+ is that a very tiny portion of the program is always installed on C no matter what you pick in the installer. The bulk of the program is installed to wherever you pick in the installer, and it is fine to put that on any drive (Should be a local drive though, not external drive or network drive)

If you have parts that seems to be installed outside the data directory, it might be that you have performed an artwork-only install on those components. This type of install is intended for people not using CC3+, but just want the artwork for use in other software. The files in these directories are NOT the complete set of files CC3+ needs, so they should not be manually copied into your CC3+ data directory. I think just re-running the installer for those "missing" products should help. The separate art file directories are just a bunch of image files, and can be safely deleted manually.

So if I understand correctly, you want to adjust the automatically generated labels to be closer to the top of the hex?

There are two ways you can go about that. Both ways require that you unlock groups (button bottom right of UI) to select all the text at once, but just the text:

• First option is to change the justification of the text (by using change properties) to simply change it from bottom center to below center. This won't bring it to the top, but will move it a little bit up
• The other option is to use :CC2MOVE: on them. The snaps aren't set up for this, but unless you need perfect precision, you should be able to do it close enough by eye when you zoom in. Just make sure you have all the text entity selected and snaps off, and they will all be moved by the same amount, ensuring they still line up perfectly.

If you want the text in the the top of the hex, try setting the alignment to "above center", and make sure cursor snap is on when placing the text. There should be a snap point along the top edge of the hex, so with above center, the text should should appear centered near the top line of the the hex. (If you place it on that snap point obviously)

Note that you won't be able to adjust the actual distance, that is based on the text size, but it should center neatly in the top at least.
