I used to draw on paper back in the 1908s, but draw exclusively in CC3+ now. Saves me a number of steps.

I do know about other mapping software, I don't use them because I don't like them.

And I have slowed down on mapping. But as far as I can tell, I have drawn over 5,000 maps using CC2, then CC3, now CC3+.

This software is based on a CAD engine. At university I took a class in AutoCAD. CC3+ is just like learning a CAD program, not a paint program.

I am a retired computer tech. I had installed numerous programs on many different operating systems, some MS has likely never heard of.

Back in the 1980s, ms-dos software had no standardized interface. One program might use ctrl-s for save, another might use ctrl-m. Then MS said if software if to be used on their platform, it had to follow a standard keyboard layout.

I have modified the menus I use with this software, not much, but it is easy. The menu files are text.

There is a tremendous amount of free assets for Profantasy's software. Other mapping programs I have looked at, don't have that and I felt they were too limiting.

I export to png and jpg very easily.

Oh, Welcome to the forums.

Added 3 pits. In room 1 highest point are now bugbears and goblins. I have no idea how they got there. I suppose the water tunnel number 3.

My guess is there are here trying to figure out how to get up into the cavern and attack.

I also play Everquest II.

Items outside the map border happen to me occasionally. Rarer these days, but they do happen.

My computer will hiccup, and the symbol I was about to place isn't on the map.

I zoom extents, and see my map shrink to nothing. Sometimes I don't notice until the next hour, next day, etc.

I find mine by doing a rectangular erase on each of the 4 map sides. When it says there is an object there. But I don't see it, I do a list in the same rectangle. And find my lost symbol. Erase it. Zoom extents again, and unless there are more of ghem,them, map returns visibly so I can continue.

I save as with a different number on the filename and continue mapping.

We all took a covid test today. I am negative.
