While not the most advanced debugging feature in the world, you can issue to the STEP command to help debug a macro and see what is going on. It will show you a message box for each line run with the variables expanded so you can see exactly what is being called.

It can be turn off again with NOSTEP

The viewer was discontinued a while back. Because most maps in modern CC3+ are based on raster artwork requiring external art files, the viewer wasn't able to display those maps without also having the same artwork available, so it no longer had the utility it used to have.

If you wish to let non-CC3+ users see your maps, I recommend just exporting them to an image or printing them to a pdf file, this is the best ways for people to see them without having to own all the artwork used.

Looks like there is a corruption with one of the grids.

Try this:

• Save the map
• Delete all the grids one by one (You won't be able to delete the standard XXX ones)
• Close the dialog
• Save the map
• Now try adding the grids you need one by one. I recommend saving the map after each.

For CC3+, there will not be much of a difference between those two. A lot of operations in CC3+ are single threaded, in which those two score pretty much the same (but about 50% better than your old one).

Some processes, like some effects do take advantage of multiple cores, but it is unlikely to fully saturate your CPU, so even if the 7700 is better, I doubt you would observe much difference between them. But the 7700 do have two extra cores that can work on other things the same time as CC3+ works though, which can be an advantage.

There is a blog article here:

Since you mention the hex grid, while it certainly is possible to transfer suing the same process, I recommend just dropping it and creating a new one. You'll normally want smaller hexes anyway for your detailed area map.

Here's also a video with Ralf explaining the process.
