That's what 2 years of being locked up does to us. You just need a bit of training to get back into that convention-shape again :)

There isn't a global option, but all maps have a OnOpenMacro which is run whenever you open that map....

But be careful about loading new macro files. When you load a new macro file, the current one is unloaded. And a lot of the buttons in the interface calls up macros, which then break if you load a different macro files without these macros defined. In general, I never recommend ever loading a new macro file, but either add your custom macros to the default fcw32.mac file, OR have your macros as scripts instead which you can call on with the SCRIPTM command instead of using macros (A script is basically a macro contained in an external file, one macro per file, doesn't have the MACRO/ENDM lines, and is run when you call it instead of loaded like a macro file)

If the main macro file itself doesn't load at startup, there is something wrong.

First of all, check that the file exists in your CC3+ data directory. It should be named fcw32.mac. This file is a plain text file which you can open up in any text editor, so open it in notepad or similar to verify that it looks fine. Should be a little less than 1800 lines in it, give or take (I don't think the file I checked was modified, but the number is just to give an estimate anyway to give a rough indication of the expected size.)

If the file is missing, or obviously corrupt, there may be a backup file in there that you can just rename to fcw32.mac and have a try.

If none of that helps, I suggest you contact technical support via your account pages.

When you use "Change like draw tool" on the imported landmass, it will add the coastline automatically as long as the tool in the new style uses one.

Have you tried unchecking all the checkboxes in the dialog? The automatic alignment doesn't always find the correct orientation.

Thanks. I'll get to process these in due time. I am lagging quite a bit behind (Just ask Quenten, he's been waiting patiently for me to process his submission for a while now) due to work and other things stealing both my evenings and weekends.

No worries. I love seeing new things for the atlas. I feel a bit bad for not being able to get to things quickly enough, but work has been eating both weekdays and weekends lately, and when it isn't work, it is family. This weekend will be mostly eaten up by the baptism of my sister's youngest offspring, so while it is a joyous occasion, it still saps time and energy.

One or many from FT3+ depends on how much you care about map projections. FT3+ operates on spherical planets, so to get it into CC3+, a projection needs to be used. No matter which projection, the exported landmass will be distorted.

So, if you want the detail maps in CC3+ to match the world map in CC3+ as much as possible, start by exporting a single world map to CC3+, and then extract continent maps from that.

On the other hand, if you want your continent maps to actually have the true shape, then they should come from the FT3+ map, possibly with another projection, instead.....

If entities are on the same sheet, use :CC2BACK:, :CC2FRONT: and friends to arrange things.

If entities are on different sheets, either re-order the sheets in the :CC2SHEETS: dialog, or move the entities to a different sheet, depending on what's appropriate.

Yea, that will happen if you use a font that isn't either a standard windows font or a font that was provided with Campaign Cartographer or it's add-ons. The font isn't embedded in the map, so if it is a font I don't have, CC3+ will just use a plain replacement fort instead.

There is a save font list in the FAQ. Been a while since I updated it though, so there are some fonts from newer annuals not listed there that will be safe too.
