  • Node Spikes

    SIMPLIFY should do the job, but you must do it to the land mass as well as the coastline, or they may not match perfectly afterwards.

    I don't recommend using Explode for any reason other than to disassemble a multipoly. That's a complex polygon made up of several single polygons fused into one entity such that a large polygon may have a hole in it. Since these are rare, and usually a result of exporting contours from Fractal Terrains to a CC drawing, Explode is hardly ever used. There are many other more suitable tools.

    That's great. It was a suggestion option, but I chose SIMPLIFY because it's guaranteed to get rid of most of all those problems all in one go.

    Well done for succeeding with the more tricky solution.

  • Fill Style Questions (Rivers vs Sea)

    Hi Olaf :)

    Please can you attach the FCW so I can see how the drawing tools are set up and what sheet everything is on?

    You should be able to attach the .FCW file to a comment on this forum using the paperclip symbol at the bottom of the comment.

  • Graphic Drawing Tablet & CC3+ question

    Hi and welcome to the forum :)

    CC can work with graphics tablets. There are people who can map on screen tablets with CC that I know of. However, I use a mouse when I'm working in CC - even though I use an Intous Pro (that's a non-screen tablet) for all my other work as a ProFantasy asset creator in other apps, like Affinity V2 (no longer available), GIMP, Krita, etc. I don't use Inkscape at all.

  • Tools (Symbol Set 1 and Symbol Set 2)

    Hi Zov :)

    This is perfectly normal, as you can see from my list.

    There are no icons for either SS1 or SS2.

    This is because both these sets add additional styles to CC3+ and DD3 respectively. They are extensions rather than stand alone add ons.

    EDIT: In addition to that information you could be forgiven for thinking that I don't have all the annuals. I appear to be missing Annual Volume 18 and 19 (this year's annual), but that is probably because I have installed all the monthly issues and not the full end of year installer.

    There is a second Token Treasury, but I've never needed it so it's not currently installed.

  • Tools (Symbol Set 1 and Symbol Set 2)

    You can purchase the annuals either through the selling pages here, or by picking them from the list of Offers when you log into your registration page.

    If you buy the current year's annual it will not yet have been compiled into a single download, so you will have all the separate installers - one for each month.

  • Symbols Catalogue Wonky

    It's important that none of the Profantasy assets are moved or renamed, but I don't think that's what you are talking about.

    Are all your custom symbols in folders that live inside the "ProgramData\Profantasy\CC3Plus\Symbols" folder? Possibly in a subfolder of the Symbols folder called User (or some such appropriate name for things that are not part of Profantasy's asset collection)?

    EDIT: If they are and that's all correct, have you moved the FSC (the symbol catalogues you made) relative to the symbols - ie, moved them to a different position in the folder hierarchy. That will also break the references.

  • Project Spectrum - Part 2

    Thank you, Quenten :)

    I will think about it, but as I said above I have to finish the core set of symbols first, and part 2 is due out in the November issue.
