I talked to the developer, and the issue here is that the underlying windows API functions that handle the actual painting to the screen is hitting their limits, the multipoly simply gets too complex in this case.

The only option is to reduce the number of nodes in the underlying polygons. to reduce the complexity.

That's pretty hard without the .fcw :)

The character set in map notes only does standard ASCII characters, not the entire Unicode range, so it has certain limits what will work or not.

You can easily test yourself if anything is necessary to remove by creating a new map note in a map, paste in your text, and then open it up in the viewer (the blue window) afterwards.

I think you may be misremembering. I was a bit unsure myself because I don't use this functionality too often, so I installed the older versions and tested, and none of the generated maps had links back up to the parent map.

Could you be confusing it with the html export (from the same dialog)? The HTML export do have the controls you talk about (parent, up/down/left/right)

Could make an annual style out of this.

The reason why it is not there is because CC3+ is a very style-based program, that is, the available tools and how they are set up are done individually for every style. The guides in the Tome use the CC3 Mike Schley overland style for the main tutorials, while your screenshots shows you are using CC3 Standard overland for your map. These are two different styles, the latter being quite a bit older, with different tools available.

These two styles does the sea contours a bit differently, but as Calibre said, you'll find all the drawing tools for a style by clicking the All Drawing Tools :CC2DRAWTOOLS: button. Selected tools often appear in the symbol catalog window for convenience, but it is here you will find all the tools.

My live stream about drawing tools is probably a good place to start. It explains many of the features with drawing tools, as well as adding macros to them.

Just a friendly reminder, there is only about 12 hours left of the competition.

Technically, that means it is still time to join if you have a few hours to spare right now, but for those already in the process of making a map, this is just a friendly reminder to remember to submit it on time.

Thanks to all who participated. It is now well past the deadline, so I am closing this thread.

A new thread with an overview of the submissions and voting will appear in a few days.

If you were working on a map, but weren't able to finish it in time for the deadline, I would still be happy to have it for the atlas, just submit it when you are ready.
