Symbols (at least raster symbols) cannot be trimmed. What is normally done in CC3+ is to just hide what's outside the map border by placing a white polygon on top of it. This is usually done in most templates by placing a polygon on the SCREEN sheet.

If there is a polygon there already, just extend it to cover up everything.

Also, when exporting, you really should have the restrict to map border and crop to aspect ratio on, so you don't get things outside the map in your export.

Sounds like a great way to utilize the otherwise wasted time in meetings.

Great work so far.

Either set the line width before you draw, or use :CC2MCHANGE: on the paths in the drawing.

You'll easily see if you have DD3 installed by creating a new map in the dungeon type, and see if you have the DD3 dungeon available (as opposed to just CC3 Dungeon).

If you don't have that template, it means you have forgotten to download and install the DD3 setup. It is a separate installer from the main CC3 one. It was included in the Humble Bundle (if you got the top tier), so you should own it.

Bag guys? Like in the bag wars saga?

To elaborate a bit on Sue's answer. RAM is used for bitmap caching in the program, and is also important in determining the maximum export size of the map since that requires space in RAM for the work.

As Sue points out, it uses 4GB at maximum, but it is always a good idea to have that 4GB available to the program, which means that if your computer only have 8GB's of RAM you might need to be careful about what you run at the same time, while if you have 16 or more, it is generally not an issue. The ram allocation needs to be contiguous, so for a lower memory machine, it may need to be rebooted more often as well, especially if you find that CC3+ complains it doesn't have enough memory to complete an export.

A nice map, but here are some thoughts:

• Too much variation in font size. Makes it look messy.
• A few more vegetation symbols would be nice, especially on the islands that have none.

Looks like the installer may not be replacing the template properly. Do a Draw -> Insert file, pick the @Annual\Issue 165 - City Cliffs\CA165 Cliff Import.FCW file, and hit ok. Once the dialog closes and CC3+ want you to place the inserted file, hit Esc.

As for the fcw32.mac issue when re-running update 25, it is safe to simply hit ignore on it. Only thing that will happen is that you won't get a backup copy of the file if you had manually customized it (which most people never do anyway).

Which installer did you use when installing this? I noticed yesterday night that I had the same issues as you on my main computer where I had only ran the individual issue installers as they arrived, but the complete 2020 installer set up the template properly on both my regular system and my test system when I installed that.

Best way to transfer effects and sheets over is to save the preset from a working map. Load up the @annual\Issue165 Smaple cliff.fcw file, go to the effects dialog, and save the current setup as a preset. Now, in your own map, load the preset. Do notice that new sheets added WILL be added to the bottom of the list, you must rearrange them yourself.

This is a precision error caused by the fact that computer numbers have a limited amount of precision (number of decimals). Lines are defined by their coordinates, and when you rotate things by an arbitrary angle, those coordinates won't be pretty whole integer numbers any more (assuming they started out as such), and they become subject to tiny precision errors because the number have more decimals than the computer can handle.

Length and Bearing are values calculated from the coordinates, so when the coordinates have precision errors, so will these values.
