Question - Did any of you Map-Makers know that you can Select-Multiple-Fences and turn them left and right by using the "Delete" and the "Page Down" buttons on the Keyboard?
I didn't, I stumbled on this today while placing down fences, and it really does speed up the process.
Now, I'm wondering how many other keys does something that I not aware of after all of these years.

The only true logic is that, there is no true logic!

Yep, stumbled on that (luckily) in the beginning.
As far as speeding up, yes, but can also be sloppy.
I have left extra fences on the maps by accident.
Also the use od the [ctrl] key to quicken scrolling.

MarkT - On one of your Maps all of the fences were double-stacked, so the Question is how exactly does that happen?
Are you using some type of Copy and Paste?
Those two-keys are extremely helpful, I placed down twenty-nine thousand worm fences in a little under a week, but they go a lot faster than the rail fences which are very slow.
The rail-fences have to be placed down one at a time and then aligned manually to look right!

One of the nifty tricks Eric (LouiRaider) showed me when he was teaching me map making. It's a wrist saving technique for sure. :laugh:
Eric, may he rest in peace.. I'm really tired of losing friends and family to the big C..

So glad I had the opportunity to work with and meet him during that last Team meeting at Gettysburg.One of the nifty tricks Eric (LouiRaider) showed me when he was teaching me map making.

Sad to hear about Eric... I fondly remember he and I touring Gettysburg and Antietam. 2018, bad year I guess. I am Soooo lucky.
