Course Setting Import

(This function is only available in course setting projects!)

Import Courses from ORware

With this function course definitions exported as *.txt or *.csv file from the event software ORware can be imported to an OCAD course setting project. This import is primarily thought for events where the runners from a class have individual courses (butterflies, loops etc.). The import creates one course per runner with it's individual course definition.

The course setting objects (start, controls, finish etc.) have to be added to the course setting project before starting with the import.
