I am trying to figure out why this is happening, but as a workaround, you can change properties on the fill after placing it.

To do that, first unlock groups (button lower right corner), then use the change properties tool, select the entire forest, but do a selection by NOT fill style solid so you only end up selecting the filled ares, and not the lines, and then proceed to change it to the CA128 Parchment A Medium fill.

However, Hatch Styles are the opposite of good for performance, they will slow your map down quite a lot if you use much of them. Bitmap fills are the best option here.

You've stumbled upon the very first issue I had myself when upgrading from CC2 Pro to CC3 when that was new. I still miss that functionality because making zoomable pdf files was great.

Joe has already covered why it has to be like this in CC3+, but if you have a pure vector map with no effects in it that you need to print this way, remember that the FR Atlas IS a general purpose viewer (as you already saw). You can open files created in CC3+ there. Effects and raster artwork (both symbols and fills) will be missing obviously, but if you only need the vector entities, that works just fine.

Have you tried using TRACED instead. Maybe it'll work better for you.

Here's Austfiroir in the Atlas. Thanks Jeff.

Run the CC3MenuConfig.exe found in the data directory.

Or just run the latest update again (Just tell it to continue if it insists you already have a newer version). The update will pull the latest menu config from the internet.

The start of most of your rivers look a bit weird. Kind of looks like they simply start in the middle of the valley floor. Maybe get them all up into the the hills/mountains at the edge there, which is where they flow from I presume. The merging of the two flows of the lotus river also looks a bit too right-angle to me.

Level of detail seems fine to me, but those settlement symbols look like they are a tad too small, they can be difficult to see in the final printed version. They are all named though, which makes this a bit less important since people will also be using that to identify them.

Did everything start working normally after you changed the map type and created a new map? That is, you don't have to do that every time you want to create a new map after the first success, right?

I suspect the information holding your previous map type was somehow corrupted, and the dialog simply showing the top value selected as a default. Clicking back and forth, and then create a new map should probably reset that.

But if it happens on every new map going forward, there may be something weird going on.

Thanks.

I am going to wait a bit with this one before I clear it. SS6 is still just in beta/pre-release, so I want to make sure it is 100% compatible with the final version when that is released in case any bugs are found that changes things.

The Floorplan category is mostly for modern florplans. For fantasy, look under dungeons, and for sci-fi, look under Cosmographer.

From SS1-6, only SS3 have anything under florplans.

Also, instead of using lines with outlines, make two sets of lines, white lines on top of black lines. Make the black lines slightly wider than the white ones, and they will do the job of an outline without getting in the way.
