You aren't alone, Jim. I am the same with written stuff. I much prefer to watch a video. Maybe you are a visual learner like me?

Oh - I forgot to say.

For it to work you need to have the sheet effects turned on, which is a checkbox at the top right of the Sheets and Effect dialog.

That drawing tool draws a solid polygon of magenta on the forest sheet. Because there is a Color Key sheet effect on that sheet set to magenta, the magenta polygon cuts a hole in the forest fill, leaving the parchment beneath it exposed.

Try it out - draw your polygon around the text where you want the hole in the forest behind it, and then refresh the view.

You're welcome :)

And thanks as well - I have been rather busy over the last few months. It appears I forgot to update it!

I will do something about that in the next week.

If that is where the FCW file started out, then you will be fine as long as you never move the map from your desktop. To use your symbols more freely and be able to move your maps around without worrying about red Xs you really need to store all your symbols in subfolders of the Symbols folder.

These videos by Remy Monsen explain a lot of things about importing third party symbols if you are interested.

If you need to upload an FCW again you can do that right here on the forum. Just click the attachment paperclip. Or you can do the same in a private message to one of us if you prefer.
