CC3 Question

[tjp123]

I'm trying to resolve a similar issue. I have a world map, from which I'm trying to create smaller, regional maps. I tried using the Copy to Clipboard option, but whenever I attempt to paste the contents of the clipboard to a new map template, it does not work. Instead of pasting the part of my map I selected, it pastes some text I had copied much earlier.

I'm actually trying to copy a small section of a very large continent, not an entire continent. I'm wondering if by trying to copy a part of a large entity (the continent) I'm confusing CC3 somehow?

I may just try to create a copy of the world map and delete everything outside of the area I want to detail. Is there any way to select this area and delete everything outside of it with one command?

I hope my questions aren't too arcane!

Make sure on you map, you have all sheets/layers etc shown you want to copy, and unthawed.

Then, right click on the COPY icon, choose COpy to Clipboard and then click/drag the selection window to select everything you want to copy.

Thank you Neon! I'll try your suggestion when I get home later.

By the way, what exactly do you mean by "unthawed"?

To prevent one from accidently selecting images/points/etc from LAYERS you are not working on, you can FREEZE a layer, or THAW a LAYER to select it.

Ah! Thanks again!
