rocketman Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Is there any way of cropping a map in the editor, without shifting all placed units and fortifications? I'm about to lose a lot of work if not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 That is a frustrating thing to see isn't it, when all the units slide along as you change your map size. I don't know of one if there is. Let me know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Kohl, can you please re-place a gazillion barbed wire and mine units for me - Merville Battery as accidentally moved some 300 m to the northeast 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokko Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) You can mark one tile in the editor that you know has a specific unit on it (just make it dirt or whatever, anything that sticks out). You have to remember exactly which unit is on that tile. Then you crop the map and afterwards you can just select all units on the map, click on the unit you remembered and move back to the reference tile. All other units will be moved as well and will be in the spots they used to be before. Works for fortifications as well Edited March 16, 2015 by Rokko 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try again with more precision. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokko Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I just tried and it worked just like I described. I held Shift and then drew a frame around all units, thus selecting them. Then I clicked my reference unit so it blinked and moving it moved all other units and wires relative to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Yea I tried again, several times, but it seems like there are just too many units and fortifications. All are not moved and those that are not all to the right place. Some units/fortifications are off by an action square or two. However, I discovered also that units tended to shift only when cropping the south or west side of the map. Wonder if it is a coincidence or always the case? Wonder if the opposite is true for adding to the map? Will test more tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
