1. Type SIMPLIFY and hit Return
2. Look at the command line

1. If it's some other figure hit the zero and Return.
2. Hit return if you haven't already

1. And then select the path or straight polygon you want to simplify. The action will be immediate.

Oh look at that! I bet Wyvern has beaten me to it while I was trying to work out how to make the paragraph numbering go right.

Ok. Does anyone else still want the old volcanic texture, and call it "Volcanic 2"?

Ok then. I'll leave it there for you two :)

It probably won't, Ricko, because all my previous overland styles are isometric. This one is going to be seen from above - seen as if you are flying over it like a bird.

That would be a really useful macro if you succeed.

This is only going to work for you if you are only using FT3 to get a decent shape and coastline...

Try visualising the oceans as the land masses.

I have extracted quite a few decent coastline patterns from FT3 by turning the land into the sea, and vice versa. Its not something you can do in the software (I don't think), but once you get your eye in tune with the idea you should find a few more appetizing outlines

What are your placeholders? Are they symbols, or polygons?

A particular symbol can be deleted using the Symbol Manager in the Symbols menu. Open the manager, pick the symbol you want to delete, and hit the delete button. That will remove all instances of the symbol from your map.

If your placeholders are polygons and are all on a unique sheet or layer you can hide all other sheets or layers and delete them en masse by box selecting with the delete tool.

If your placeholders aren't on a separate sheet or layer, you might have to use one of the many select options available when you pick delete and then right click in the map area.

You're welcome :)

Experimentation is a great way to find out what you can do with the sheet effects.

I had the CorelDraw 11 Suite. After that it got too expensive to carry on, though, so I ended up more or less abandonning digital art till I got CC3.
