[CC3] Error "No matching draw tool"

[trechriron]

I also submitted my issue to PF tech support, but thought I might tap the experts here.

First, this install routine for CC3 is ridiculous and the 300+ dollars I have wrapped up in the software makes it even more stressful for me. Just wanted to drop that out up front because I am a tad frustrated.

I was getting this error when clicking any button for a draw tool. So I thought maybe I installed it wrong. So I uninstalled everything and re-installed based on the PF online FAQ for CC3 + Compatibility Updates.

Here is the order I installed my products;

1. Install CC3
2. Install Patch 1
3. Install compatibility updates (CU)
   
   
   

   • City Designer
   • Symbol Set 3
   • Cosmographer Pro
   • NOTE: Cosmographer CU will not install until patch 1 is installed - It launches an error saying you need a higher version to install it, hence the reason I installed first "out of order"
4. Install SS1, SS2, SS3
5. Install DD3, Cities!, Cartographers Annual 2007
6. Install Patch 3
7. Install Patch 5

I tried uninstalling Patch 1 and reapplying the patches again in order. I still get the error on some buttons - "No matching draw tool". So all of the CC3 draw tools work, and some SS3, DD3, CDpro, and CMpro buttons work and others error out.

• Should I install DD3 before patch 1?
• Is Patch 5 all inclusive of previous patches or should I be applying patches in order?
• Do I need to install the full version of the software relating to a compatibility update or only the CU by itself? Example – do I install CD Pro and\or SS3 after the compatibility updates?

Is this just a known defect (bug) and does someone have a fix? Any help would be appreciated!
