[QUOTE="DrunkonDuty, post: 6284610, member: 54364"] I've put a lot of time into CC3 over the last couple of years. Now I can get it to most of what I want without to much effing about. But it took some time to get there, even with the tutorials. What isn't really discussed in the tutes is that you have to do things the way the program wants them done. It will auto select sheets when you choose a symbol set. Lakes were a total PITA. What isn't mentioned (until something like the 11th tutorial) is that when you look at the sheets list the sheets are in reverse order of what is seen on the map (lower in the list, higher on the map picture.) I kept wondering where my lakes vanished to. And judging by the queries on the CC forums I was far from the only one. Now, as I said, I have put a lot of effort into it and eventually I have gotten used to it. I have paid the cash and am going to stick with it. But unless you are used to AutoCAD drawing already or have plenty of time to learn or enjoy the challenge of learning new software, I would not recommend CC to someone who just wants to get on with the map making. But I'm still not happy with the final resolution of the maps that get exported (as JPEGs, et.al.) No matter what I try the resolution is poor. WizardDru if you have any tips for improving thatI'd love to hear them. [/QUOTE]
