Anything is possible from a drawing perspective, but there are several of CC3+'s tools that don't work correclty

• Measurements, including distances and angles assumes a a flat map. These can't be used to get accurate data on a curve
• Drawing tools that stop at the map border only work with straight orthogonal lines. This feature doesn't work along a circle or angled line
• Images are rectangular, anything not-rectangular will add empty areas on exports.
• The coordinate system assumes a flat surface, coordinates won't be correct for a curved world.
• Effects also assume a flat surface. This is why many effects cannot be used properly in an isometric map. Not quite as big a problem on a curved map, most things will probably still look fine.

But that said, there are already styles for a curved approach, like the Mercator style from the very first annual (later updated in a newer annual).

Generally, for a whole-world map, Equirectangular works fine. But it distorts shape and area as you get closer to the poles, so it isn't as good a projection for areas far to the north or south. Here something more true to shape may be desired, like the Equal earth projection. For the polar regions themselves, something like the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area may be a good idea.

Basically, each projection in FT3+ comes with a descriptive text, I advice you to read it.

One or many from FT3+ depends on how much you care about map projections. FT3+ operates on spherical planets, so to get it into CC3+, a projection needs to be used. No matter which projection, the exported landmass will be distorted.

So, if you want the detail maps in CC3+ to match the world map in CC3+ as much as possible, start by exporting a single world map to CC3+, and then extract continent maps from that.

On the other hand, if you want your continent maps to actually have the true shape, then they should come from the FT3+ map, possibly with another projection, instead.....

If entities are on the same sheet, use :CC2BACK:, :CC2FRONT: and friends to arrange things.

If entities are on different sheets, either re-order the sheets in the :CC2SHEETS: dialog, or move the entities to a different sheet, depending on what's appropriate.

No worries. I love seeing new things for the atlas. I feel a bit bad for not being able to get to things quickly enough, but work has been eating both weekdays and weekends lately, and when it isn't work, it is family. This weekend will be mostly eaten up by the baptism of my sister's youngest offspring, so while it is a joyous occasion, it still saps time and energy.
