Dungeon Designer Pro makes extensive use of symbol fill styles. SYMBOL FILLS provide a means of arraying CC3 drawing entities as a fill pattern. This type of fill provides great flexibility in design since anything you draw in CC3 can be turned into a symbol fill. They enable you to fill terrain rapidly.
DD Pro symbol fills look best when drawn on colored background. For an example of this, open Dungeon Fills from the Examples\Dungeons directory.
