Thanks :)

I made a small set of different shapes. Being vector symbols it should be easy enough for people to edit them or make their own versions.

You can't change the scale of the forests you've already placed. You will have to delete or undo them.

Check the scale of the single trees you've placed, using the List option in the Info menu.

Then open the Drawing Properties dialog and alter the default symbol scale to match the scale of the single trees, and place your forests again. (This shot shows the default symbol scale for the style I am working on at the moment is 1).

Don't forget to change the default symbol scale back to what it was before you altered it once you have done your forests.

I will leave them till last and do them as vector symbols instead of bitmap ones. It will be easier for people to make their own personalised ones that way as well.

I guess they're ok, for now.

Now I just have to get on with the ridges and so on.

I don't think GIMP is that bad, but the way each of us feels about various apps is all very relative on a personal level. I was pretty good with Corel Suite before I came onto the mapping scene, so everything else seemed quite simple to me - including CC.

All except Inkscape!

You were helpful, Don.

With a bit more practice we can be a team :)

Don't worry, EdE. The thread is easily short enough for everyone to see that Quenten answered your question, and that all I did was add details to that answer.

I have already let Ralf know the link is broken, so further tech reports shouldn't be necessary at this point. Ralf will update the installer and let us know when it's available for re-download.

However, the problem has been swishing around my mind for a few minutes...

Have you tried editing the symbol through the Symbol Manager and bringing the text to the front?

Oh wait a minute! Are you using the actual symbol instead of the png the symbol is created from? You might need to import the png, then make the symbol with that non-symbolised png image.

If the CSUAC folder and catalogue structure follows the same convention as the Profantasy ones, the folder containing the png should be in the same parent folder as the catalogue, and may even bear the same name.

Alternatively, if you open the Symbol Manager and pick the symbol you want to find the png for, then hit the List button, it should give you the location and filename of the png on the 9th line.

Thanks.

I think Ralf is looking into it.
