[QUOTE="InkwellIdeas, post: 4878038, member: 26988"] A couple of new versions have been released since I last posted about Hexographer. Here's a list of what's new: *You can now add dashed and dotted lines. (To change styled lines, go to the "Options" menu and select "Customize Line/Text Settings." Next to each line, there is a new drop down to switch between solid, dashed, and dotted lines. For custom lines, on the "Custom Lines" tab, you'll see a similar solid/dashed/dotted line drop down.) Note: dashed and dotted lines work best if your are clicking from point to point to draw your line. Dragging adds many points with many sub-lines and while the lines are dashed or dotted if you chose that, your line is made up of many sub-lines and it may be hard to make out the dashes and dots. *You can also now draw shipping routes and elevation lines. (These are new styled line settings.) *Three new symbols: Port (which looks like an anchor, as requested), Cathedral, and Oasis *The pro version now let's you add custom terrain and features. (Previously you had to change the color, icon and other settings of existing terrain or features. By the way, all of that prior functionality except changing the icons can be done in the free version as well.) Go to the "Options" menu of the map edit/view window and choose "Add/Edit/Remove Custom Terrain and Features." Once you add Terrain, it will appear as a new button on the "Terrain" tab. If the new item is a Feature, a new button for it will be on the "Icons" sub-tab of the "Symbols" tab. However if the new item is a Cosmic Feature or Terrain then a button for the new choice appears on the "Cosmic" tab.
