Try this workaround:

Also note that both CONTOURSM and TRACED are commands that does this automatically, none of them require tracing by hand. You probably do want to use TRACED (after applying the fix from above)

This livestream I plan to teach you all a bit more about combining styles. I have shown elements of this before in many of my live mapping sessions, but this time I am going to make it a focus of the stream, and give a more complete and coherent overview of the process.

We will talk about thinks like setting up your own template that combines the resources from two styles so you can have everything at the ready when you make a new map.

As usually, you can visit https://youtube.com/live/reoS0Mzlnzk at the appointed time (which you should see in your time zone in the left forum sidebar) to watch the video, or use the player below.

The hyperlink consists of 2 entities, the link itself (Which is normally invisible when you load the map, make it visible by View -> Show Hyperlinks), and a purple rectangle which just shows where the hyperlink is.

Both of these can be deleted by the regular erase command, BUT the HYPERLINK layer may be frozen, in which case you need to thaw it before you can erase it.

Also note that they should also both be on the LINKS sheet, so you can also just hide (or delete) that sheet.

If you press Ctrl+T you toggle between the crosshair cursor and the arrow cursor. This can be done mid-command based on your needs. Note that it doesn't apply to the first point of each command (don't know why it's like that), but to all subsequent points, so if you're drawing a path, the initial node will always be placed using the crosshair cursor, but you can toggle for all the subsequent ones.

Also note that if you use it in the middle of a drawing tool that has the trace capability (like the landmass tool), the shortcuts conflict, so it then asks you for "entity to trace" but you can just right click at this point to go back to the drawing instead of tracing. To avoid it, you can use the menu option (Tools -> Drawing Aids -> Toggle Crosshairs) instead of the shortcut key.

It depends on how you plan to use them, but I would probably have put them all into one symbol catalog, and then used collections to either group them by type (so you have all the castles of different colors in one group) or by color (so you have all the red tinted symbols in one collections).
