Yea, basically the same as I foun, just about any solid entity will work, but the entity have to be within view, so since exports are done in multiple passes, you won't necessarily need one line per symbol, but there must be one within view for each segment of the export.

One thing I didn't try yet, but which may work is just making that part of the symbol. A symbol can contain entities in addition to the image. Of course, those entities would be part of the symbol and get the same effects.

I've notified the developer, maybe he can give some more insight in exactly what is happening here.

The scale symbols are always made to be placed with scale factor 1.0, because it is important to get those absolutely correct, and using a factor of 1.0 makes the precision perfect.

Most other symbols are designed for an imperial scale, and are then simply scaled down when used in metric maps through the default symbol scale for the map.

Did you add that line of yours near those lights too? When exporting, CC3+ exports the map in sections, and it can't "see" what's outside the current section. I am guessing it is the same strange issue as above, and there isn't a "fix" in the section those lights happen to lie in.

Sounds like you are not running with the latest update. The hammer icon should supply four options (small, medium, large, x-large), the single option for just large icons was replaced a while ago now, along with fixes to make things work better on high resolution displays.

Remember, you should always (re-)install the update after installing add-ons.

You need to use one of the selection techniques described in the editing chapter in the manual to select just the fill and not the outline. I prefer to first select both entities by clicking on the edge, then combining it with NOT Color 0 to remove the outline from the selection, but you can also use list on the entities and find their entity tags, and then do a select by entity tag to just pick the fill.

There is a copy button in the effects dialog. Just highlight the effects to copy and hit it.

Which format are these maps in? If they are just flat images, such as scans of the original WWII-era maps, I don't think there will be any good options other than hand tracing then.

Sure. The voucher isn't personal, so you can give it to anyone you want if you win.

3. shouldn't be where you want to place the entity, the point cc3+ asks for is the ORIGIN of the copy, not the destination. Unless you are doing some precision manipulation, the normal place to click is in the center of the thing to copy. When you past something, it will be placed just as far from the cursor when you click to place, as the point you selected in this step was from the original entity.

From that expanded list, you don't need your step 3, the location is set in your step 6. And step 4 can be anywhere inside the drawing window, it doesn't matter where your mouse is when you bring up the popup menu, doesn't have to be on the entity to be copied.

Note that when copying inside the same map, It is usually easier to use :CC2COPY: instead of clipboard copy.
