  • Layer effects changing draw order?

    To comment on one other thing from your post

    @Tyrel Froese wrote

    From what I understand CC3 has zero capacity to change draw order of entities within a sheet

    You can reorder entities using the ordering buttons, such as :CC2INFRONT:, :CC2FRONT:, :CC2BEHIND: and :CC2BACK:. All of these reorder entities within the same sheet. This does not fix the actual problem you were experiencing of course, but that has been discussed above, and this may help you arrange other things in the future.

  • Campaign Cosmographer Insert template

    Are you putting the image on it's own sheet? Not that this is required, but it makes it easier to handle to avoid for example the image ending up behind the background or similar.

    When you insert the image, do you properly give it two corners as the command line asks for. The two points you provide as corners determines the size of the inserted images, so if you click two points really close to each other when inserting, it will be tiny.

    Also make sure the image is actually a png image. Try to open it in a local image editor or something. Lots of websites does weird things, so you may have accidentally ended up with the html code for the page saved with a .png extension instead of an image.

  • K.M. Alexander's map brush collection

    Great find.

    As you point out, they will take a bit of work to get them into CC3+ format since he's presenting them as pages with many symbols on each. But, with the CC0 license, it do mean that it can be done by one person and shared/redistributed legally.

    Much better, but the shadows from the furniture still seems a bit on the longish side....

  • About map printing

    If you are printing, there is a tiling option right in the print dialog, just set the desired scale (battle maps for miniatures are usually 1' = 5" (as long as your map is mapped to scale in the first place)) and set the horizontal and vertical number of tiles. Check page 47 of the user manual for details.

    If you are exporting it to image files first, you can use the "Rectangular section" file type exports. This will cause CC3+ to ask you for coordinates after hitting save, and this way you can save just a piece of your map. Just use this to export your map one piece at a time.

  • CC3 View

    No. The viewer product was discontinued. The problems with a viewer for CC3/CC3+ is that maps rely on artwork installed on the users computer, the .fcw files themselves doesn't have this embedded. This means a viewer would require the exact same installation of artwork as the actual product, which has rendered the concept of a viewer a bit difficult. The original viewer concept was from back in the CC2 days where all artwork were vector artwork that could be embedded into the map files themselves.

    To view .fcw files you will need to have CC3+ installed, as well as the same add-ons that were used to create the maps so that you have the same art resources avilable.

    If you're interested in trying out CC3+, there is a 14-day money back guarantee, but otherwise I recommend you ask the person sending you the files to export them as an image or print them to a pdf file instead.

  • Select drawing tool - SS5 - City cliff

    You're not technically supposed to "choose a style" in that dialog. The style selector should be prepopulated with the correct style choice for your current map.

    If you want to use drawing tools belonging to a different map type than the one you are working in, you need to import the appropriate fill styles first. More about this in this faq topic:
