Redraw
Choose this command to redraw the map on the screen. This is especially useful when the displayed map is out of date due to editing operations (like deleting area objects).
By default, the map is redrawn automatically after editing it. If you want to disable the automatic redrawing, check the Redraw background automatically option in the View category of OCAD Preferences.
For Windows Vista and 7 users: We recommend to use an Windows Aero Theme. You can change the theme in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization. The Themes Windows Basic and Windows Classic lead to many unnecessary screen redrawings in OCAD.
