Just bought the beta - anyone else having trouble with region/boundary lines following the contours of landmasses? Even when I click on the "click to follow contour" I just get the regular fractal lines, not a line that follows the contour of the landmass.

What Windows version are you running?

(I'm moving this thread to under bugs)

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay - running Windows 7 Enterprise.

No problem!

Are you having this problem all the time? Or just with some landmasses? There was an issue with one of our Windows dependencies that we created a work around for (the issue fix will be out with Beta 3), but we thought it only affected Windows Vista.

Can you email me a map with landmasses showing this problem? (acanosa@threemindssoftware.com)

Thank you!!

Here's another questions - how do I make a small dot on the map that would represent a city or town? I don't want to use any of the art provided in feature tool - just need to create a small black circle on the map that I'd then label with text.

Thanks!

Hello!

Beta 4 will include a "normal" cartography set with city symbols, capital, etc, and such. Originally scheduled for Beta 3 but it didn't quite make it.

They will be SVG symbols so you could scale them as you want without pixelation, etc.
