FT3 Views
Do you mean this route?
If so, then yes - you are correct about the 1:1 thing.
However, if you just use the View to get to the right place in the map and then use Save as Campaign Cartographer file
You should get the correct area.
Thanks for raising this issue. I wasn't aware of it till you mentioned it.
EDIT: Incidentally, if you change the shape of the FT window the exported map (as long as you do it from the File menu) will be whatever proportion you have set the window to.

2023 Annual Install Not Showing Up
I can see from your list of overland styles that the templates that should have been installed when you installed the 2023 annual are missing. They include the 13th Age Revisited style among others. Since you have tried working with our suggestions and they are still missing, please contact Tech Support using the "Ask for Help" form available on the Support tab on your registration page (when you log in to your account on the ProFantasy webpage).

The rest of this comment is information that may help when you do get the installer working.
Each annual issue comes with its own PDF mapping guide. When you use the 2023 installer there is an option to open CC3 at the end of the process. If you click yes (the default setting) this file opens.
At the top there is a hyperlink to "Click here to open the linked list of styles and mapping guides." If you click that link it takes you to this page, where you can find all the mapping guides listed with the description of each issue in the annual below the Readme Document.
Clicking the first Mapping Guide for 13th Age Revisited will open this pdf (if the installer has worked properly)
At the bottom of this page you will see a "Starting the Map" paragraph that tells you the settings needed in the New Map Wizard to start a new map of the style (in this case a new 13th Age Revisited map).

Grid Lines
Pick Grid Settings... from the Map menu.
In the dialog, set the Latitude Polar Endcaps to zero.
Click Add, and make sure you check Enable Grid in the dialog that appears (see below).
For the sub-tropic lines set the Latitude Spacing at 35 degrees and the Top and Bottom settings to 35 and -35 respectively. This tells FT to draw a grid line every 35 degrees, starting and stopping at 35 degrees north and south, so you only get one line at 35 degrees north, and one line at 35 degrees south. You will also get one one the equator but you wanted that anyway.
To make sure you don't get any longitudinal (north south) grid lines, set the Longitude Spacing to zero.
You can also chose the colour of the grid lines and the width of them.
Ok both dialogs and you get this
Do the same for the tropics gridlines by adding a second grid and substituting 23.5 wherever you put 35 in the first grid. That should give you something like this. Here I have given the tropics lines a thicker red line. You will see that this second grid appears underneath the first one, but you can move it up to first position using the buttons under the table in that first dialog.
You can hide, show, edit or delete either grid.
