Map grid issue

[eleran]

I made a map in CC3. Exported it as a jpg. The map has a 5' sq grid included. Brought the map into FG. When I go to put an FG grid on the map using the CC3 grid for sizing they do not match up except for the one square I use for reference.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

1) You can use the grid alignment tool in the image toolbar to change the grid size and move it left/right to get the best match.
2) You can try this map align utility: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?19813-Map-Align-Utility-to-scale-and-align-map-to-grid
3) Or you can experiment with the image dimensions when you save from CC3. The issue is probably related to CC3 adding a border to the map - which extends a little outside the edge of the map - so you can't just specify pixels per grid square when exporting and expect those to line up as the original pixels per square export.

If you're still having issues after trying these approaches, please post your image so we can make recommendations specific to that.

Another option is to export your map from CC3 without a grid. That is hide the grid in the layers menu before exporting. You can also export without a border by checking the option in the image below.

Using the Map Align Utility and Zacchaeus' advice and video I got it to work.

Thanks all for the great input.

There is also a CC3+ macro that mattekure and myself wrote that will let you set the pixels per grid and select the region to be exported and I think the file name too. It's on the PF forums here; https://forum.profantasy.com/discussion/8603/exporting-images-at-set-resolution
