When you open FT3 right click the icon and pick Run as Administrator. That should give you the required permissions.

There is a 2000 px version of the same thing in my album here. I wasn't able to do a larger version as a png, and couldn't upload it here because of the size. This is a very large symbol, and probably the largest I can do.

The alternative is a jpg background image.

I've also made the nebula itself a bit brighter than before so that it shows up a little better.

Hello James, and welcome to the forum :)

I'm glad to hear you are diving straight in with things, and I look forward to seeing your maps.

Your first map? Very well done :)

The best way to learn about sheet effects is to play with them and see what happens. That might sound like a messy way of getting to grips with them, but it is a really good way to learn what they do and don't do.

I think it's beautiful :)

The only suggestion I have is that the labels on the land should be a dark brown or black to make them easier to read, although I understand why they are blue if the original is like that.

Definitely better :)

It's looking really good, Hans :)

It is most likely on a sheet that is hidden by objects on another sheet.

Pretend to delete things in that general area, and you should see it again highlighted. Carefully right click to cancel the delete operation and pick change properties to move the newly revealed text to the right sheet. If it still vanishes, then the sheet it is on is in the wrong order in the Sheets and Effects dialog.

Well, at least it's working now :)

I find it is easier to make sure that the curve is on the TEXT sheet before I add the text, as sometimes it seems to me that if I have the curve on the wrong sheet that is the sheet the text ends up on.

It's the sheets rather than the layers that control the drawing order.

You're welcome :)
