Routing is only available when the map is geo-referenced.
Routing by entering a location
1. Select Routing in Map Menu to open the Routing dialog.
2. Enter the start and end location.
3. Click 'Get and import KML file'.
- OCAD sends a request to Google Maps API and downloads the generated KML file. This file is temporary saved in the OCAD temporary folder (e.g. C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\OCAD\OCAD11\Tmp\).
- OCAD imports the kml file and adds the colors and symbols from the template file. Colors needed for Routing are at the top of the color table.
- The required symbols for routing appear at the bottom of the symbol box.
- Finally, the route on your OCAD Map looks as follows.
