Wishlist for CC4

2) A better stretch command, specifically (but not exclusively) for better coastline editing. Right now, I know of two ways to edit a fractalized coastline, and neither of them are great, so maybe I'm just doing this wrong:
2a) Node edit: The problem here is that I have to edit one node at a time, including each and every fractalized node that the system made for me. Tedious. Painful. Excruciating.
2b) Stretch command: Now I can grab more than one node, but only if they are in a single(?) rectangular selection window, and the results almost never look natural.
How I think it should work: The system should distinguish between the anchor points I put down, and the fractalized points the system creates. It should let me select one or more of those anchor points, let me move those and refractalize the path for me. (Preferably in real time on the screen. There is no place for screen refresh buttons in 2021)
Am I doing this wrong? Is there a better way that I've missed?
Yes.
The way to edit fractalized coastlines are with the edit feature of the drawing tool. It lets you easily replace sections, be they large or small, and is the preferred way to edit landmasses and other entities.

Symbols from a different style
This happens because CC3+ uses the names of the symbols as the unique reference for them, so there can only be one symbol of each name in the map. If a symbol already exist with the same name in the map, it will use the symbol already there.
Workaround for this is to use symbol manager and rename the symbols already in the map to something else.

Greyhawk mixed with the Southern Territory Deserts
Not playing either of them, but in my view, being a DM is all about taking the pieces you want for your own campaign and mashing them together, no need to feel locked into one particular world or setting.

Importing Fill Styles
If they are pixelated, it is usually because the scale for the fill in the fill style dialog is way to large. Try reducing it for the fill styles in question.
You can also force CC3+ to use a higher resolution version of the file through the Display Speed Settings.

Precise angles
Use the Bearing angle modifier (Tools -> Snaps), or you can type the coordinates using radial coordinates using the < symbol (f.eks <45,300 where 300 is the length of the line).
Edit. Ninjaed by Sue. But just a comment about the snap grid then, that works very well if your starting point is on the snap grid, otherwise, not so helpful.
