CC3+, the latest update, then everything else in no particular order, then the latest CC3+ update again right at the end.

Always have CC3 shut when you install, and do it by right clicking the installer and picking "Run as administrator".

Sometimes the installer will ask to open CC3 at the end of the run. Allow this to happen, then close the app again ready for the next install.

The free monthly symbols can be installed at any time and do not require you to re-run the latest update again.

I'm glad you've sorted out your maps, Winchester :)

I've asked around the team and discovered we haven't had a bug of this nature reported before.

If it happens again, or if anyone else has this exact same problem, please notify Tech Support so we can fix it.

Thanks :)

The first thing I did was to hide all the sheets except the BACKGROUND and used List in the Info menu to find out a bit more about the entity I could see on that sheet. This is what I got.

The first problem is that the 'polygon' isn't a polygon but 4 separate lines on the BACKGROUND sheet. The second problem is that they are on the MERGE layer, which is definitely wrong. Things on the MERGE layer cause all kinds of problems, so we need to put both those things right.

I right-clicked the Fractalise button on the left and picked "Line to Path", then picked all the lines and hit D for do it. The accidental effect of doing this with a set of lines that are perfectly alined at the corners is that they automatically become a polygon, even though that wasn't the intention of the command. It's really convenient, though, so no one complains about it.

This is what I got

I used Change Properties (top paint can button on the left toolbars) on the visible polygon to put the new polygon on an appropriate layer (BACKGROUND), and to change the fill to "Sea_Light CA51".

Then I unhid the rest of the sheets.

(In this example I changed the fill to Sea_Medium)

Here is the modified FCW for you.

In it, I have also hidden the CONTOURS LAND sheet to simplify the appearance.

This is a fairly complex map with a lot of very tiny islands and lakes. Please ask if you have any further issues with it.

I agree with Kertis

These are the settings I use to export the largest of my example maps as JPG files. The file size resulting is usually around 5.7MB and visually no different to a png file.

Notice the Antialias setting, and also keep tabs on the "work size" shown lower right. More antialias is a smoother result, but it also increases the work size. Try to keep that no larger than 10,000 x 10,000.

Incidentally, with this setup you can export the map as JPG without having to use the rectangular section options. The export will be automatically trimmed to the map border so that the longest side is 5000 pixels. These settings also do away with the white space around the map.

Yes, all the annuals work with CC3+ because they were updated to do so. (If you should find an exception to this rule please contact Tech Support).

Unless there is a style of a similar name with the additional word 'revisited' included, then the one you have is likely to be the most up to date version of that style (or toolset). To the best of my knowledge there isn't a 'revisited' version of that issue.
