Some compass roses would be nice also on city/street maps, such as Arthenn and the docks. Looking at the bridge and the parent map, it is clear that north is to the right on the docks map, but this can't be seen from the map itself. Preferable, any map that doesn't ashere to the modern convention of north up should have a compass rose to indicate this (Personally, I like to see them on most map anyways).

Wouldn't mind seeing some scale bars as well, makes it easier to use the maps.

While that symbol is a raster symbol, it is really just some simple geometric shapes. You should be able to easily enough draw that yourself using the circle and polygon tools in CC3+ and define it as a vector symbol. The user manual goes through symbol creation on page 75 if you're unsure of that part.

The map border is just an entity like everything else. You can more or less do what you want.

When talking about the map border though, it is important to remember that there are two of them, the "technical" map border which consists of 4 lines on the MAP BORDER layer, and defines the actual size of the map and the stopping point for things like drawing tools. Then you have the visual/graphical map border, which is just decoration.

For decorative map borders, you can create as many as you want, and shape them as you want. But the drawing can only have 1 technical map border (the 4 lines around the outside of the map), and that one needs to be rectangular, no weird shapes. Now, you don't technically need a technical map border at all, but without one, you're drawing tools don't have a border to snap to, and you can't use the resize drawing area command. Also, exporting and printing to map border won't work, you will always have to define areas yourself, but technically, these are just conveniences, not requirements.

Just one addition to Sue's explanation above.

From the small screen shot, it looks to me that this may be an FT export? If so, it may be a multipoly (depending on your export options). If it is a multipoly, it needs to be exploded |CC2EXPLODE| first.

(Note that exploding it will also means that any "holes" [lakes] in the landmass will disappear since they will be turned into their own polys instead of defining holes in the multipoly)

Looking at your screenshots, it looks like the white gap is part of the image. CC3+ doesn't add or remove anything from the image (shouldn't anyway, and I've been unable to get it to). So my recommendation is to have a closer look at the source image, seems there is a border on the bottom and right sides.

There is a setting called 'outlined' on the settings for the fill in the fill dialog, you can check that it is disabled, but I don't think that's what you are seeing here.
