I am currently working on the thran of Daasen in Orbaal.

I have produced the map using CC2 but need help producing something that can be converted in a more useful jpeg file.

Is there anyone out there that can help???

Search for "CC2" and/or "Mappa Harnica" on this site. I seem to recall a thread that talked about such things, but I am not sure of details.

I have already generated the map using CC2 and Mappica Harnica.

I am after someone to help convert the FCW map into a nice jpeg map.

Can't remember of the top of my head does CC2 export to DXF or DWG? If it does I can easily transform that to JPEG. File size might be a bit big though.

The *.dwg or *.dxf exports of CC2 aren't directly usable, you lose some fills, most colours are changed and closed polygons often end up as lines, symbols don't transfer unless exploded first, etc. This export function is still useful for porting CC2 maps to other drawing/image programs, but require a lot of cleaning afterwards.

I have developed a few tricks to produce reasonably good-looking raster exports from CC2, so if you're still interested PM me and we'll arrange something.

Have you tried File ->Save As then setting the file type to jpg

Yeah I have tried that however, when the file is saved as a jpeg it looses definitions, type is hard to read and edges become fuzzy.

Tool -> Options allows you to make adjustments to the jpeg saves.
