Issue with outlines after copy/pasting landmasses into larger map size
Yes.
Just make sure you hide all the other sheets first so you don't move anything you didn't want to move. Then pick the :CC2MOVE: tool, and select all the bits that you want to move and press D on your keyboard for do it.
Watch the command line. It will ask you for an origin point to start the move from. You need to click somewhere first to give it a 'move from point'. That gets a lot of people ;) While you are in the process of moving things the command line gives you useful hints about keyboard controls that will allow you to simultaneously rotate and scale the things you are moving. If you don't want to do any of that just keep your other hand off the keyboard. I've lost count of the number of times I've accidentally scaled and/or rotated something while moving it.

How to add large symbols to a city map
You mean the line width?
You can either set the line width before you draw the line by clicking the little box at the top with W: in it, or you can use change properties once it's already drawn.
Another way, without altering the actual width of the line, is to add a glow to the sheet it is on that is the same colour as the line.

How to add large symbols to a city map
Ralf did a Live Mapping session just over a week ago where he covered most of the sheet effects. The Blend Mode is at 28:40 or thereabouts.

Basically, the mode you pick from the dropdown box at the top of the edit dialog for this effect gives you a set of different ways to blend the pixels of the texture on this sheet with the underlying map. They are closely related to the kind of blend modes you might find between layers in a bitmap editor, so overlay and multiply will do exactly what setting them in GIMP or PS would do.
The opacity just controls how opaque the things on that sheet are.
