  • How do I turn off auto-rotate of buildings?

    Just turn off Smart tracking. It's available from the symbol options dialog you get when right clicking in the map when in the process of placing a symbol.

    You can also optionally completely disable the smart symbols from the same dialog.

  • Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas repairs.

    That's just how copyrights works unfortunately. It's still their material to do what they want with even if the products isn't available anymore.

    Even if WOTC doesn't keep the patches on their site any more, they're still available using archive.org though. I just tested the links, and they work fine.

  • Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas repairs.

    Because it is useful to several people. This thread allows the participants to discuss and give input on their work and share their findings. Discussing ProFantasy products (and what you can make with them) is the main purpose of this forum, and while not in sale anymore, the FR Atlas is still a ProFantasy product, still used by a lot of people, making this the ideal place to have this discussion. Not all discussions have to be relevant to every forum member for them to be valuable.

    Well, they are doing a good job of telling what the problem is and how to fix it for anyone interested in giving their own install a touch-up. Anyone who owns the atlas product can follow these instructions. They can't share the actual maps for copyright reasons, so this is a great second-best resource for fixing things yourself.

  • width change on citys

    Looking at the coordinate readout on your screenshot, that second map looks to be absolutely tiny. Your cursor is all the way to the right of the map, and it reads (209,55) , meaning your entire map is less than 200 meters wide, while the top map, if the scale bar is to be trusted, is about 2500m wide.

    The "road wide" tool (I see your collections are collapsed, so I assume you use the default tool in the collection, which happen to be the imperial version) is 36 map units wide, so for a map that is approximately ~100 map units tall, that result looks pretty correct.

    So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the tools themselves, but rather your map size. The first obvious question is obviously, are you sure you set it up correctly when creating it, because it is clearly not the size of the map from your other image. Assuming you did, have you perhaps changed anything in the Map Units setting (File -> Drawing Properties -> Drawing Units), or re-scaled it using File -> Resize drawing area? Or even manually resized it using the :CC2SCALE: tool?
