This set of tutorials by Remy might help.

That's a pretty map :)

I don't know what caused the error, but usually that same dialog appears if you mis-type a keyboard command - only it repeats the mis-typed command letter for letter rather than that distinctive XPSYMCAT; one.

I've had the XPSYMCAT; one myself a couple of times, and the same 'can't use the symbols' experience. It does sort itself out though if you restart CC3. It must be some internal call for a command that goes wrong under certain rare conditions.

Hi everyone! :D

In this week's Live Mapping session Ralf will be starting on the creation of a new city mapping style, based on a set of maps he created years ago. This is a project that will extend over several sessions, so be sure you don't miss the first one.

Come and join in the fun live on Youtube here:

Or you can watch it here later if you wish

It's a good enough map, but I think it might look better if you reduced the thickness or opacity of the hex grid a bit.

30 minute shout :)

That map you could see is the one Ralf made 'a few years ago' (he said that, not me). He's using it as a sort of inspiration for the new style. He did also mention the possibility that he might be using the new style (once he's created it) to draw a map towards the end of the series to demonstrate the result.

If you ever need to pinpoint which annual a particular issue is in this thread may be some help. Hover over the images to see the names.

I am quite a bit behind on this year's issues, but I will catch up with them soon.

Yes, that's how it's done.

Hi everyone! :D

Part 2 of Ralf's series on how to make your own new city style was cancelled last week due to a thunder storm, but its back on the menu as live this Thursday.

In this second part of the series Ralf will be showing us how to set up city functions and how to create the template.

Come and join in the chat and ask your questions live on YouTube tomorrow (31 August 2023):
