Ah, I see what the problem is. There's a white polygon on the SCREEN sheet and layer. It goes all the way around the map to hide bits of mountains and things that are only half inside the map. It's called (rather unsurprisingly) the screen.

Resize Drawing Area usually works without a hitch. Sometimes, however, if the difference between the original size and the new size is very great, it doesn't scale the Screen properly, and that is what's covering your background on the right side.

You can get rid of the damaged screen either by deleting it now that your SCREEN layer is unfrozen, or by using the command COLLARDEL, which you type on your keyboard and then hit Enter.

To make a new one just type the command COLLARAUTO and hit enter again. That should automatically draw a new screen on the correct sheet and layer. Once done, it would be worth re-freezing the SCREEN layer so you don't keep accidentally picking it while you are working on your map.

If you are having problems printing the map because of it's size you could try exporting a jpeg instead of going straight to print. Printing an image is easier to control in a lot of ways - mostly because it's a commonly done thing.

FT3 shows elevation already. Most of the shaders blend the contours and add hill shading.

If you open World Colouring and find the Intensity tab you can switch off the hill shading by moving the Shadows slider to "none" and hitting Apply.

Then if you go to the Altitude tab and uncheck the Blend tickboxes you will see something more akin to contours.

How many contours you see will depend on how many colours there are in the colour scheme.

If you want to export contours from FT3 to CC3 use one of the export settings that has contours, which you can tell by the name in most cases. You can create your own export setting by hitting the Create button in that dialog and set your own contours.

In CC3 you can draw contour lines as polygons with a Hollow fill type, in whatever colour you wish. If you mean to draw a whole lot of them you might want to create your own drawing tools for them. If you are interested in how to do that just ask.

Remember that the land is the background, so you want to be cutting through the water to reveal it as the island. That's where the Color Key is to enable cutting.

If you use one of these two drawing tools you should be able to draw your island without any trouble, as long as you haven't significantly modified the way the sheets and effects are ordered and set up.

Yes. It's easier if you haven't already registered the product yourself, but if you have all is not lost - you can contact Profantasy from this page to get the registration transferred to the recipient. Remember, though, that a licence for an annual cannot be split into the different issues.

Plenty of people have, but not me. I also tend to design new styles more for screen appreciation. They aren't particularly printer friendly, though Profantasy have printed a couple of my example maps for display at Gen Con. They turned out really well, but were probably quite expensive.
