Symbols no longer rendering? Is this just me?
Hi FM8 Team and All Else!
I'm trying to build a big city in my FM8, but when I save the file and reopen it later, some of the bigger symbols (for example, the 10 MB image I use for the background of whole city) are rendered completely invisible. Even their thumbnail in the Mapping Symbol area becomes invisible, I can't see the symbol, I CAN place it, resize, whatever, but it just doesn't show up anymore. This only happens after I save and reopen. Is this a known glitch in the software?

1) You might want to use the menu options Map/Layers to see if the layer upon which you're placing the symbols is visible.
Then I'm puzzled why you're using symbols with a size of 10 MB, and also why you're using symbols for a background:
2) You also might want to try the menu options Map/Map Setup, where you could make a click on the tab Background Image and instead install your 10 MB image as a background image.
