We report on a millimeter continuum survey of the entire Cygnus X molecular complex. We used the MAMBO and MAMBO-2 bolometer arrays on the IRAM 30m telescope to map a 3deg^2^ area at 1.2mm (see fits files of Figures 2, kept to 11" resolution). Our MAMBO-2 imaging gives a complete view of the cloud structures ranging from 0.03pc to 5pc, i.e. from dense cores to clumps. We perform a multi-resolution analysis to extract 129 compact dense cores (~0.1pc, see Table 1) and identify 40 massive large-scale clumps (~0.7pc, see Table 2). The 21um fluxes arising from dense cores are taken from the MSX point source catalog (MSX C6, Cat. ).
