  • October Community Challenge - City Streets - VOTING POLL in first post

    Ok, well I've given you all a few days to snap up the best bits :)

    Please can I have number 2, @Monsen ?

    I will make a start on it in the last couple of weeks of the month.

  • Custom rectangular grid - how to add coordinate labels

    It is likely that the offset 70 S line is still there but hidden by the white polygon on the SCREEN sheet. Try hiding that sheet and see what you find.

    The SCREEN is there to hide things that fall half in and half outside the map where they can't be trimmed. Symbols, for example, can't be trimmed so have to be hidden to tidy the edges.

    If you want something to show on top of the SCREEN sheet you need to put them on a sheet below that one in the sheets and effects dialog. You can either move the TEXT sheet down to that level, or make a new one, called TEXT on top (for example) and make sure that one is active when you place the labels you want to see on top of the screen. If you want to move existing labels to a new sheet at the bottom of the list, use Change Properties, or right click the hourglass and use Move to Sheet.

    That should solve your visibility issues, but it may simultaneously cause a new problem, where the map may export to JPG minus the border. There are a number of ways to correct this, but I will wait to see if we have cured this problem first.

  • Project Spectrum - Part 2

    Thank you, both :)

    Farsight, it's not really the done thing to extend a style across two annuals, since this means people have to buy both annuals even if they only want the one style. I wasn't expecting anyone to want more than just parts 1 and 2, so I'm still trying to work out what to do about any additional stuff. My best guess is that once part 2 has been released and the initial rush has calmed down PF will assess the situation again and make some kind of a decision. Whether that decision is "no, there's enough of it now", or something else, is anyone's guess.

    I can't start until the last 2 weeks of the month, so I will make my choice if there are any left at that point, Remy. It wouldn't be fair to 'bagsy' the best plot when I can't start straight away.

    So the rest of you had better start snatching up the easier bits I can see there as quick as you can, because on 16th I'm coming back to take my pick!
