Choose this command from the Map menu to replace the symbol set by a new one.

This function was developed to convert easily ISOM 2000 orienteering maps to the new map specifications ISOM 2017. But it can be used also for all other maps. The advantage of this function is that you can select which symbols (e.g. club logos, layout symbols) of your current symbol set should additionally converted to the new symbol set. This function deletes also the unused colors of the current symbol set.

The following example shows how to convert the ISOM 2000 OCAD sample map to ISOM 2017. You can find the sample map (Bürenflue_ISOM_ENG.ocd) in the OCAD program subfolder Samples.
