Fill styles arent being selected automatically. Bitmap has to be added manually. How do I fix this?
You have the Jon Roberts drawing tools, but the fills I can see in your map and the symbols are DD3. These are different styles.
While it is perfectly fine to mix styles there are a few issues you might encounter along the way. To solve the most likely ones...
- If you don't have the right drawing tools for the style open the drawing tool dialog and where it says CD3 Floorplan DD3 in the dropbox at the top in your last screen shot there, click the down arrow and pick the right style.
- If you don't have the right fills for the style you want to use, create a dummy file of the desired style and use Import file in the Draw menu to import the dummy file into your current map, but abort the operation just before you paste the temporary file into the one you are working on. This will import the bitmap fills into your map without pasting any other irrelevant stuff.
- If you don't have the right symbols you can navigate to the right symbol catalogue using the folder button at the top of the symbol catalogue pane. Be careful to open the catalogue file and not the actual folder containing the symbols. Catalogue files are .FSC files.
I hope that helps ?

Cartographer's Annual - all the issues linked in one place
Ok, I've done it. The link wall is complete - for now
If you hover your mouse over each thumbnail you should now see the name of the issue displayed, which should make it easier for people checking that they are looking at the annual with the issue in it they just heard about in another thread or elsewhere.
Just for the record, I don't have a favourite annual. I love all of them

I often get asked what each of the Cartographer's Annual contains, or which of them has a good style for a particular job, so I thought I would collect them all here with linked images to each issue as a quick reference guide.2007 (linked images)

Thanks Mike
I've been working on the remaining jungle and swamp trees this afternoon. The jungle trees are just fillers to go between the palms and nothing all that special, but the swamp trees are a bit more important than that. This is the wrong colour, because texturing in ngPlant is a pain and extremely basic, but it gives some idea.
