Yea, you can't just change line widths of polygons. A polygon is filled as long as it is set to line with 0, otherwise it becomes a hollow shape with the outline the size of the line width. To have a thick outline on a polygon, it needs to be a separate entity. It is quite possible your polys already have those, if so, be sure to only select the outline and not both the poly and the outline when changing width.

As for the colors in the maps, it looks like the original maps was made using a different color palette. In the CC2 days, you could have a different palette by having the palette stored as fcw32.pal in your CC2 installation directory, and all maps would then use that palette instead. So you probably need to go see if you can find that original pal file somewhere.

Since that file affected all maps loaded, we don't usually do that any more. These days, you can attach a palette to a drawing, and the drawing will use the embedded palette instead of the default one, which is what you should be doing to these maps, but you'll need to find the old palette if you wish to know the exact colors used, otherwise you just have to guess and experiment.

Very nice. A few more, or maybe some other map decoration in the same style (Like boxes for titles & legends, scale bars, etc), and you have a great annual issue right there....

Thanks. This area should now be complete.

How are you selecting the background? Due to the fact that the background is a big rectangle with the water on top, you can't select it where it meets the water since that would cause you to select the the water instead.

The easiest is probably to just temporarily hide ALL sheets except BACKGROUND, then change it, then show those sheets again.

Just type the numbers ate the command line instead of clicking with the mouse.

For example, if your map is 200 by 200 map units and you wish to export in 4 parts, simply do four rectangular section exports, and when CC3+ asks for the corner, type in 0,0 and 100,100 for the first 0ne, 0,100 and 100,200 for the second one and so on.

If you prefer to use the mouse, you can also set up an appropriately sized snap grid where each snap division is the size of the section to export. You can set up snap grids by right clicking the Snap button in the lower right.

Or, you can use my tile export macro from Annual issue 129.
