Lovely. I always enjoy visiting historic sites. Hope you had an enjoyable visit, even if it was a bit on the short side.

Maybe you could drop by Norway one day, I have a lot of hills here I need flattened....

Thanks Wyvern. Maps are now in the atlas.

Are you talking about the Mountain Range tool or the Mountain Fill tool here? One is based on symbols, the other on a bitmap fill, so the procedure will be a bit different.

For symbol based tools, they adhere to the default symbol size you can get at by hitting the :CC2PRESETS: button. This must be done before using the tool.

For fill based tools, you need to change the scaling for that particular fill. You do that by clicking the fill style indicator on the status bar, going to the bitmap files tab, find the fill in the list, and then change the values for scaled. This can be done before or after drawing with the tool.

Did you try inserting into a new map in a completely different style? Still trying to figure out if this is something spesific to that Cosmographer template, or if it a general problem for you.

Oh, and since nobody remembered to ask this yet as far as I can see, you have installed the latest CC3+ update, right (3.98)?

Yes. If it is already a symbol in the drawing, go to Symbols -> Symbol Manager, select the symbols from the list, and use the save as catalog to create a new catalog with the symbols.

If it isn't already a symbol, but just loose entities, you can define them as a symbol first using Symbols -> Define Symbol, and then you can export it to a symbol catalog file as described above.

To add it to an existing catalog, do as above, then open up the existing catalog for editing by opening it up using file -> open as opposed to just open it in the symbol catalog window, then go to Symbols -> Symbol Manager, hit Import, and pick the catalog file you created above.

They way I am envisioning a huge ship like this isn't huge individual areas dedicated to one thing, but more like divided up into "residential zone A", "residential zone B" and so on, where each individual zone have all the services needed for that zone, such as kitchens, storage, living quarters, recreation, security and more. Each zone being more or less self-contained (maybe even designed to be able to be isolated in the case of an emergency.

Actually similar to how a city today works. You don't find all the kitchens of the city in one corner, they are distributed out so people have access to a local restaurant without crossing the entire city.

Outside the residential zones which contains everything needed for the citicens, you may have some large engineering sections (but even a lot of that would probably be part of a residential zone, you can't risk having all the oxygen production in one part of the ship), maybe a huge hangar deck for the main transport ships bringing supplies and people on board. Maybe a command section, but that again probably would just be a tiny spec at this scale.

That's doable, but you'll need to export the map in sections to accomplish that. I've done up to 200,000 x 200,000 that way.

The file is locked for editing to ensure people don't create and publish modified versions of the document. Unfortunately, that also prevents creating personal bookmarks.

There shouldn't be any problem duplicating the file. All the pdf viewers I load the protected file up in allows me to use save as to save a copy, or I can just go into the directory (@documentation) and make a copy manually using the windows file explorer. But none of this will change the write protection of the file however, it will just give you a second protected copy.

To avoid scrolling to the page, I recommend using the bookmarks already there. Every single heading in the book is already bookmarked in the bookmark bar in the pdf file, displayed to the left in most pdf viewers. The entries are collapsed by default to avoid having to scroll through tons of bookmarks, it is easier to just expand the node you need. You can also click on the entries on the Table of Content pages to go directly to the page. If you know the page number you want, most pdf viewers also lets you easily jump directly to the page, in Acrobat for example, the shortcut is Shift+Ctrl+N, or simply click into the page box in the navigation bar and type in the page number there

I have a blog article about X'es that might help you:
