I am sure Ricko is right, but there is also a way to figure this out yourself. For most annuals, the symbols will be prefixed by the annual issue number, so you can learn a lot by just opening up the symbol manager from the symbols menu and have a look at the names. There are 12 issues each year, so as an example, CA26 would mean issue 2 (February) in volume 3 (2009). The annual website will then let you find the style name.

If you are comfortable with the Windows command line and making NTFS file system links, you can make a new folder (say "Favourites") under @Templates, create a Wizard folder inside of it, and inside there add NTFS links to the relevant template files (you'll need to link all three files for each template, the txt, the fct and the png). This way you can build your own custom list without touching the existing files)

I think most of the links should work if you take the download url and just replace sourcemaps with profantasy

Note that this is only applicable when in the middle of a command that support crosshairs (which is most commands where you need to place something at a specific point), it doesn't globally change the pointer in CC3+. Try placing a symbol for example. With the symbol at your cursor, you can use the shortcut to switch between crosshairs and regular mouse pointer (you may need to move your mouse after switching so CC3+ actually redraws things)

Did you issue a :CC2REDRAW: after placing the image? For performance reasons, whenever you place something in CC3+ it is simply drawn on top of everything else, as this prevents a full re-render being required for each entity placed. Only after executing a redraw (or scrolling or zooming) will the entity be rendered at it's actual position in the drawing stack. Also make sure the desired sheet is actually set as the active sheet (the checkbox), it is not enough just having it selected in the sheets dialog.

CC3+ doesn't support pdf files, but it certainly support jpeg, png and bmp. I use the first two quite often. Jpeg is only supported when inserting an image file into the drawing (Draw -> Insert file), you can't use jpg for symbols and fills, but that doesn't seem to be what you are doing here anyway.

You can make a much more fine-grained snap grid than the visible map grid. Just right click the grid button in the lower right, and you can configure the grid, for example by adding more snap divisions.

CC3+, having it's origins as a CAD program use the standard grid system used in technical drawings, mathematics and graphing. Unfortunately this is different from the compass system used for maps, so I can understand your confusion here, but otherwise it is probably the most common grid system you'll find both in computing and outside.

Well, I was more thinking about the actual fill style dialog, but it makes no difference. That list with preview shows that it does look ok.

Honestly, I am not sure what could have happened here and why the map appears to display completely without fill styles, even the most basic ones when the fills seems to be there.

I suggest you take this to technical support via the form on your registration pages.
