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.

I don't have Smart App Control, but looking at the Update file, it is clearly signed and Windows reports that the digital signature is ok, so why this SAC feature claim otherwise I have no idea.

Considering you're running the update, I assume you've already installed the program. And the installer is signed the same way as the update, so blocking one and not the other makes little sense to me

Unfortunately, it isn't anything I can do to help, so I suggest you contact tech support through your registered user pages. Maybe they either know about the problem and knows of a way to help, or if it is a new problem, it is important that they get to know about it.

If you are comfortable with the Windows command line and making NTFS file system links, you can make a new folder (say "Favourites") under @Templates, create a Wizard folder inside of it, and inside there add NTFS links to the relevant template files (you'll need to link all three files for each template, the txt, the fct and the png). This way you can build your own custom list without touching the existing files)
