    Apologies for the slight digression but a question for Joe (Waldronate). I've copied and pasted the new interrupted projections (I'm especially excited about projection 91) into the Projection.txt file but they are not showing up in the FT projections menu at all (even after restarting FT and then restarting the computer). This is what I've pasted at the bottom:

    Code:
    //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Projection 91, "AE Hemispheres"
    Scale 1.0
    Description "Azimuthal Equidistant Hemispheres"
    
    Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0, -90, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
    scale 1, 1
    Offset -0.5, 0.0
    Effective -180, 90, 0, -90
    Rotate 0
    EndSegment
    
    Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0 90, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
    scale 1, 1
    Offset 0.5, 0.0
    Effective 0, 90, 180, -90
    Rotate 0
    EndSegment
    
    EndProjection 
    
    //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Projection 92, "AE M Interrupted"
    Scale 1.0
    Description "Azimuthal Equidistant M interruption"
    
    Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0, -90, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
    scale 1, 1
    Offset -0.5, 0.0
    Effective -180, 90, 0, 0
    Rotate 0
    EndSegment
    
    Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0 90, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
    scale 1, 1
    Offset 0.5, 0.0
    Effective 0, 90, 180, 0
    Rotate 0
    EndSegment
    
    Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0, -180, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
    scale 1, 1
    Offset -1.0, 0.0
    Effective -180, 0, -90, -90
    Rotate 0
    EndSegment
    
    Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
    scale 1, 1
    Offset 0.0, 0.0
    Effective -90, 0, 90, -90
    Rotate 0
    EndSegment
    
    Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0, +180, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
    scale 1, 1
    Offset +1.0, 0.0
    Effective 90, 0, 180, -90
    Rotate 0
    EndSegment
    
    EndProjection

    I'm using Windows 7 (not sure if that is relevant) and FT is saved as C:/FT (i.e. it is not in the Program Files(x86) directory. Can you recommend anything to solve the problem?

    Many thanks!

    @Ex Stock - I'm sure I've seen something similar to what you've described too, but I can't remember exactly what the projection looked like. I'll have a dig around...surely we can't both be mad?
