  • Adding add-ins

    You don't need to install on c:\

    What happens when you install CC3+ is that a very tiny portion of the program is always installed on C no matter what you pick in the installer. The bulk of the program is installed to wherever you pick in the installer, and it is fine to put that on any drive (Should be a local drive though, not external drive or network drive)

    If you have parts that seems to be installed outside the data directory, it might be that you have performed an artwork-only install on those components. This type of install is intended for people not using CC3+, but just want the artwork for use in other software. The files in these directories are NOT the complete set of files CC3+ needs, so they should not be manually copied into your CC3+ data directory. I think just re-running the installer for those "missing" products should help. The separate art file directories are just a bunch of image files, and can be safely deleted manually.

  • Hex Grids and Labels

    So if I understand correctly, you want to adjust the automatically generated labels to be closer to the top of the hex?

    There are two ways you can go about that. Both ways require that you unlock groups (button bottom right of UI) to select all the text at once, but just the text:

    • First option is to change the justification of the text (by using change properties) to simply change it from bottom center to below center. This won't bring it to the top, but will move it a little bit up
    • The other option is to use :CC2MOVE: on them. The snaps aren't set up for this, but unless you need perfect precision, you should be able to do it close enough by eye when you zoom in. Just make sure you have all the text entity selected and snaps off, and they will all be moved by the same amount, ensuring they still line up perfectly.

  • Hex Grids and Labels

    If you want the text in the the top of the hex, try setting the alignment to "above center", and make sure cursor snap is on when placing the text. There should be a snap point along the top edge of the hex, so with above center, the text should should appear centered near the top line of the the hex. (If you place it on that snap point obviously)

    Note that you won't be able to adjust the actual distance, that is based on the text size, but it should center neatly in the top at least.

  • A few questions about Remy's "IR" macro

    1/2. No. It only lists bitmap fills in use by entities. But, keep in mind that the fill property is defined on all entities, whether they use it for anything or not, as fill is one of the basic entity properties. So for example, a symbol reference do actually have a fill defined, even though it will never use it for anything. But my command can't know that, so it will include the fill in the list it uses to determine which add-ons are in use.

    3. Use the IRD command. It will list the actual file names of everything. You may still need to to some searching because it can't pinpoint the entity in the map, but knowing which file is being referenced usually helps you work it out.

  • Macro Weirdness

    A good way to notice things like that is if you look at the command line while executing the macro. A macro that successfully and completely executes should return to the Command [LASTCOMMANDNAME]: prompt.

    In your case, you could see that it was instead asking for a filter, with a word prefilled.
