  • [Solved] Technical problem: Not seeing symbols once selected for moving

    Try pressing the tab key while you have the command in operation.

    Thank you, Daisho :)

    All I use it for is CC3 and the usual browser stuff, so as long as it works its good enough. I just need one that doesn't suddenly decide I've had enough time to read that part and I need to scroll off to read another part, when I'm actually in the middle of drawing a design on a wax seal :P

  • [FT3] Settings to make single-island maps

    If you edit the maps I would go to the Editing tab in the World Settings, switch on the Allow Prescale Offset Editing, set a reasonably high Custom editing size (8190 is maximum), click Apply, and then use the Prescale Raise and Lower brushes with extremely low power and nice and large. They are less damaging to the underlying fractal and will give better overall results.

    I have also worked with real scrolls. I've a few stuck in tubes under my bed. A whole map is usually rolled up with the map on the inside, but scroll labels are a virtual creation employed by fantasy artists and nowhere near as practical.

    Besides. I don't have time to change everything now if there are to be any seals. These things take forever to draw.

  • Community Atlas 500th map and 4 year anniversary competition with prizes.

    Well in that case I guess any of the other 3 will do.

    I will make the map and see what you all think about which one it should be.

  • How to add large symbols to a city map

    I did a blog with an example map of a city on a small mesa, if that is any help. The assets used were all CD3 - no extra annuals or other add ons.

    I know your city is at the base of a mountain, but you could use the same technique to make that mountain, or the visible side of that mountain.

  • Wishlist for CC4

    @Monsen - LOL! I'd never noticed that one, even though my eyes must have passed over it a thousand times every time I go for GRID.

    Thanks - I can now see my buttons without squinting at them, which is very important since I will probably have to wait another 6 months before I can get to an optician.

    Speed, and how much you can put on a map.

    However, the situation isn't so bad the way it is. CC3 has a very efficient way of dealing with symbols and fills, so you can do a lot more with it as a 32 bit app than you can with other 32 bit apps.

  • Wishlist for CC4

    Thank you, Aramisdante. Are you referring to the very minor role I play in the weekly Live Streams? Those are really Ralf Schemmann's and Remy Monsen's work. I just filter the questions out of the chat stream and feed them to whoever is actually doing the video ;)

  • Random Questions and Problems

    Its TRACED, by the way. A newer and better version of the tool.

    Before you use it make sure you have the correct sheet, layer and fill style selected as active. It's not a disaster if you didn't do that because you can use Change Properties to put things right again. It just makes things easier and faster.
