That's how we normally do it around here - new WIP, new comment, so there's a story to the whole thing.

It's better than constantly replacing the initial image, which has the disconcerting effect of making the comments underneath it make no sense at all.

Ok. Different project entirely...

If I had a tool that drew a poly on one sheet, but I wanted that poly copied onto no less than 5 other sheets simultaneously, would this be possible using a macro?

The reason I ask is because I have this idea for a new style that depends very much on being able to easily draw a land-shaped hole through 5 sheets of ocean without getting into all the complexities of copying it across one sheet at a time by hand.

This is the map so far - a doodle just to get the effects heading in the right direction. The land shades are all in the background. That's how I've got them to behave in a way that doesn't depend on the coastline. But to do this with drawing tools I would need a macro that put the same Colour Key shape on all 5 ocean sheets at the same time.

Wow!

Maybe he missed his true vocation? People pay for plans like these.

(And now I'm wondering if your hubby could be persuaded to learn how to create a few new CC3 styles!)

Oh thank you so VERY much! :D

That will be incredibly useful. Now I can work out what fills and symbols to do.

Thanks, Remy

I had a feeling you would say that. I was hoping there would be a much easier way to share - especially for newbies who aren't so familiar with the way CC3 works. I know that when I first started it took me forever to even realise I could change the palette - never mind transfer it from map to map by saving it as the custom palette.

Next time Ralf or Simon ask for suggestions I'm going to ask if it would be possible to make CC3 load named palettes - the same way you can load named altitude palettes in FT3

EDIT: and also to be able to save palettes by name - eg "Brown", "Gold" etc.
