About the length of time it takes to redraw - it might be the same or even worse after you split the polygon. What's causing the speed to drop is having to redraw millions of nodes every time you pan or zoom just a small amount.

You could use SIMPLIFY to remove all nodes that are less than the specified distance apart, and enter a value like 1 to start with when prompted. If this simplifies the outline too much undo it and try again with a decimal fraction of 1. Even if you use zero it will remove any nodes that are right on top of one another. You might be surprised by how far you can go with it.

SIMPLIFY works immediately on whichever polygon you pick. There's no "Do It" required.

It looks like the screen failed to resize. That's the most likely cause of the white vertical stripe on the right.

Hide the SCREEN sheet and see if it's still there. If I'm right and it's the screen, then two simple commands should set matters right again. First reshow the SCREEN sheet and type "COLLARDEL", then hit ENTER. The screen should have been deleted. Then type "COLLARAUTO" and hit ENTER. This should draw you a new screen around the outside of your map.

The new screen might not be the right size if you have a lot of things sticking out around the edges, but there are more collar commands explained in this article by Remy Monsen.

It's a nice easy one for all the new mappers.

Hello Yeager

For every CC3 add on there should be an equivalent CC3+ installer of a very similar name in the same block of installers when you view the files on your Registration page. CC3 is no longer sold as it was superceeded by CC3+ about 10 years ago. The only reason the CC3 installers are still available is because we have users who still like to use the outdated CC3 app they purchased a decade ago - back when CC3 was the current 'core app'.

If, however, you have something that doesn't have an equivalent CC3+ installer please contact Tech Support using the Support tab on your Registration page. Here is the login page for that: https://secure.profantasy.com/service/entrance.asp

In tomorrow's live mapping session Ralf will be taking a look at the Random City command and how it can be used to create a small town map very quickly.
