==View Mode==
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 This is especially useful when the displayed map is out of date due to editing operations (like deleting area objects).
[[File:ViewModeExamples.PNG]]


[[File:Hint.jpg]] Windows Vista and 7: 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.
There are four different view modes:
 
===[[View_Mode#Normal_Mode|Normal Mode]]===
In the Normal Mode the map objects appear absolutely intransparent and lie over the Background Map.
 
===[[View_Mode#Spot_Color_Mode|Spot Color Mode]]===
This command gets a simulation of the spot color printing. It's enabled if at least one spot color has been defined.
 
===[[View_Mode#Draft_Mode|Draft Mode]]===
In the draft mode the map is displayed transparent and the background maps are visible.
 
===[[View_Mode#Draft_Mode_Only_Background_Map_Favorites|Draft Mode (Only Background Map Favorites)]]===
This view mode has the same characteristics as the Draft Mode, with the exception that only background maps marked as favorites are displayed.

This option sets the appearance of dashed lines as it was in former OCAD versions (OCAD 10 and earlier).
<br>
This option is unchecked by default. If it is checked then dashed lines appear as in OCAD 10. If the option is unchecked, then dashed lines' appearance is based on the new more precise calculation introduced in OCAD 11.

Please make sure that other OCAD users, who use this file with OCAD 11, have installed the latest service update. The ''Line Objects Appearance as in OCAD 10'' option is ignored up to and including OCAD 11.5.3. For this reason a warning appears if this option is changed: <br>
