These maps are now in the atlas. Thanks for the contribution.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to first draw the hex grid, then move the origin to the center of one of your hexes after drawing the grid. The snap grid from the hexes will allow you to place the origin perfectly in the center of a hex.

After doing this, the snap grid will be off, but just right click the grid button, and edit the "User Hexgrid" and set the grid offset to 0,0.

Note that when doing this, the origin will only be in the absolute center of the map if your map size was set up to be a proper even multiple of hexes height and odd multiple of hexes wide, otherwise, it will be pretty close to the center, but in any case, it will be in the correct center of a hex.

The issue lies in the way Windows determines the space used. Because all the add-ons are installed to the same directory, it basically ends up counting most of it for each add-on as it can't separate what belongs to each.

It is similar to your steam installation in the same image taking up 116 Gigs. Obviously, steam doesn't take that much, but Windows things the installed games are part of the installation.

You're not going to reclaim all that much by uninstalling the CC3+ add-ons. If you uninstall everything, you'll get back that ~40GB once, but not for each add-on.

A symbol definition isn't really all that complicated. You have the symbol definition entity with the basic properties, and that entity contains a sublist with regular CC3+ entities that make up the symbol.

A raster symbol is basically just the same as a vector symbol, the difference is that it usually only contains a single picture entity that reference the png image. I don't have all the flags in my head, but there are some flags to set to indicate that the picture refers to a proper 4-resolution image (which is preferred over using a just a single image for the symbol)

And yea, a symbol catalog is just a regular drawing where the drawing list is filled by symbol definitions.

Personally, I would probably have done it as an XP to take advantage of the features provided, but also as a way to gain familiarity with the toolkit.

You are probably looking at quite a bit of work to assemble all the pieces though, and considering how easy it is to copy symbols between symbol catalogs and build your own from inside CC3+, i don't know if it is worth the effort.

Hi,

you shouldn't need CC3 for anything these days. If you get that error, it is usually because you ran the wrong file. Almost all the add-ons comes with two installer files, usually named something like "setup" and "setupForCC3Plus". Make sure you download and use the latter, as that is the proper CC3+ version.
