''(This function is only available in course setting projects!)''
 
Often it is necessary to make graphic modifications to the courses generated by OCAD, e.g. because a course object covers important map information. The common modifications made for the different courses are stored in the course setting file.

===Cut out Control Circles===
 
If a control circle covers a map detail like a knoll, a part of the control circle should be cut out to make the knoll visible. You need to make this cut-out only once. It will be visible for all courses that use this control.<br>
''Note: If you want to cut out a control only for a specific course, you need to '''[[Course_Setting_Export#Export_Course_Maps|Export Course Maps]]'''.''
 
# Switch off the '''[[Edit_Course_Setting_Objects#Preview|Preview]]''' mode.
# Select the desired control.
# Select the [[File:Icon_Cut.PNG|cut]] '''[[Cut]]''' tool to cut out a part of the control circle.
 
[[File:Hint.jpg]] To close (repair) a cut, select the '''[[Cut]]''' tool again and click into the gap.

===Modify Connection Lines and Moving Control Numbers===
 
====Modify Single Objects====
 
You can modify connection lines and move control numbers of a specific course.
 
# Select the desired course in the '''[[Edit Course Setting Objects|Course Object Box]]''' on the right side of the window.
# Make sure that you are in the '''[[Edit_Course_Setting_Objects#Preview|Preview]]''' mode.
# Select the desired control number or connection line.
 
Then:
* Move the control number by dragging the small square to the desired position.
* Cut out a part of the connection line using the [[File:Icon_Cut.PNG|cut]] '''[[Cut]]''' tool and '''dragging''' the mouse from the beginning to the the end of the part that sould be cut out.
* Insert additional vertices into the connection line using the [[File:Icon_NormalVertex.PNG|select object and edit vertex]] '''[[Vertices#Add_Normal_Vertex|Add Normal Vertex]]''' tool. Move these vertices using the [[File:Icon_SelectObjectAndEditVertex.PNG|Select Object and Edit Vertex]] '''[[Select#Select_Object_and_Edit_Vertex|Select Object and Edit Vertex]]''' tool.

====Modify all Objects of a Course====
To modify all objects for a specific course, choose the '''[[Course_Setting_for_Orienteering#Move_Control_Number_for_All_Courses|Move Control Number for All Courses]]''' or the '''[[Course_Setting_for_Orienteering#Edit_Connection_Line_for_All_Courses|Edit Connection Line for All Courses]]''' functions to modify course objects with an effect on all courses.

====Undo your changes====
 
The[[File:ResetCourses.png]] button is available if you are in the '''[[Edit Course Setting Objects#Preview|Preview]]''' mode. '''All graphical adjustments''' (e.g. moved control numbers or cut connection lines) from the selected course are removed when clicking this button.
 
[[File:CS ResetCourse.png]]
 
You can also reset '''only selected graphical adjustment'''. Select them in the drawing window (press the SHIFT key to select multiple objects) and click the right mouse button. A pop-up window appears.
 
[[File:CS ResetSingleControl.png]]
 
===Make Other Modifications===
 
To make further modifications choose '''[[Course_Setting_Export#Export_Course_Maps|Export Course Maps]]''' from the '''Export''' submenu in the '''Course Setting''' menu.
 
You will get a course map file, which is a normal OCAD-File and not a course setting file. In this file, you can make graphic modifications to courses that are not possible within the course setting project, e.g. cut control circle only for a specific course.
But be careful: If you make modifications to the courses after exporting the course maps, the exported course maps are not updated and are therefore not correct.
