It is likely that the offset 70 S line is still there but hidden by the white polygon on the SCREEN sheet. Try hiding that sheet and see what you find.

The SCREEN is there to hide things that fall half in and half outside the map where they can't be trimmed. Symbols, for example, can't be trimmed so have to be hidden to tidy the edges.

If you want something to show on top of the SCREEN sheet you need to put them on a sheet below that one in the sheets and effects dialog. You can either move the TEXT sheet down to that level, or make a new one, called TEXT on top (for example) and make sure that one is active when you place the labels you want to see on top of the screen. If you want to move existing labels to a new sheet at the bottom of the list, use Change Properties, or right click the hourglass and use Move to Sheet.

That should solve your visibility issues, but it may simultaneously cause a new problem, where the map may export to JPG minus the border. There are a number of ways to correct this, but I will wait to see if we have cured this problem first.

Ok, well I've given you all a few days to snap up the best bits :)

Please can I have number 2, @Monsen ?

I will make a start on it in the last couple of weeks of the month.

It does seem to be the case.

I don't think anything can be done straight away, but I might be wrong. Ralf is the one who would have to decide whether to do it now or to add it to the list of corrections for the end of the year.

Whichever, he needs to know about the problem. Please can you do a Tech Support request for it?

You're welcome :)

What I described is only a very general summary. Both these processes are described in the annual in far greater detail as two separate 20+ page illustrated mapping guides.

That's quite an interesting look. I had never envisaged Spectrum being used with political borders, but it seems to do ok :)

Playing with sheet effects to see what they can do is the only way to really learn how to use them in the future. Too many people never even try the less common ones, but they all have quite interesting uses.

When you put more details on the map, if the borders really start to look odd, try making them a lot thinner first before you get rid of them. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.

This is looking so much better now there isn't all that huge area of white space without any detail :)

It's good, but I feel like there is a fog or something. What blend mode are you using for the blue sheet?

Oh I like the transparent water... or are those transparent rocks, around the base of each support :)
