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

This dialog box appears when you click the Insert button in the course setting box.

'''Mandatory crossing point(s)'''

Check this option to add a mandatory crossing point. The mandatory crossing point appears in the control description.
[[File:csmandatorypasspoints.gif]]

'''Mandatory passage through out of bound area'''

Check this option to add a mandatory passage through out of bound area. The mandatory passage appears in the control description.
[[File:csmandatorypassareas.gif]]

'''Map exchange'''

Check this option to add a map exchange. The map exchange appears in the control description.
[[File:scmapexchange.gif]]

'''Team variation'''

This is the commonly used relay variation. Runners of different teams go to different controls.

'''Leg variation'''

This variation is used for special cases. Example: In a relay for teams with 3 runners, the third runners have a longer course than the first and second runners. In this case somewhere in the course the third runners go to another control than the first and second runners.

In the case of a leg variation you can specify in the big box, which runners should have the same variant. Initially each leg is in its own column. With the mouse you can drag numbers to another column. For the above example the box should look like this:

Leg 2 has been dragged to the first column, because it has the same variant as leg 1.

[[File:Hint.jpg]] Variations are used in relay courses. If you are not familiar with variations in relay courses, you should ask your national orienteering federation about information on how relay variations are used.

About this Wiki

2011-11-29T13:04:02Z

80.238.133.235: /* Terms/Glossary */

This manual will help familiarize you with the most important functions of OCAD step by step. It is not a reference manual. If you require detailed information about individual functions, dialog boxes or error messages, please refer to the OCAD Help.

==OCAD Help==

There are a number of ways of opening the OCAD Help; via the Help menu, by pressing the Help button in the dialog boxes or by pressing the F1 button.

OCAD Help contains the following menus:
*Content: Select this tab to open the table of contents.
*Menu: Select this tab for information about the menu commands.
*Toolbars: Select this tab for information about the buttons in the toolbar.

==OCAD Learning Videos==
OCAD offers you learning videos for various subject areas. They help you learn about the various functions and solutions offered by OCAD step by step. The learning videos are on the installation CD. If there is an OCAD learning video for a specific subject area in this manual, you can open it by clicking its link in this document. Example exercises are available for most of the learning videos and can be downloaded from the OCAD website at http://www.ocad.com/en/howtos.htm. The learning videos and example exercises are available in English only.
: [[File:Camera.jpg|video available]] [http://www.ocad.com/howtos/33.htm OCAD basics]

===Conventions===
The following conventions are used in this manual:
*'''Bold''': Menu commands, buttons, keyboard, dialog boxes
*''Italics'': Files
*"Quotation marks": Input values, selection values
*[[File:Hint.jpg|hint]] Useful information
*[[File:Camera.jpg|video available]] OCAD learning videos

==Terms/Glossary==
The following terms, from the areas of geomatics, informatics and cartography, are used in this manual. An explanation of the most important terms is provided here to keep the explanations as short as possible and avoid any possible misunderstandings.
*'''Vertex:''' Vertices are specified by a pair of coordinates (x/y values). Vertices are used to define the position of points, lines and areas.
*'''Object:''' Each element on a map is referred to as an object (map object). There are point, line, area and text objects.
*'''Point Object:''' The position of a point object on the map is defined by a single vertex. These points can be moved, deleted or rotated. The vertex generally represents the center of the symbol.
*'''Line Object:''' A line object on the map is defined using a sequence of vertices. Individual vertices can be moved or deleted and new ones added. The object can be disconnected, rotated, reshaped or merged with lines of the same symbol. The vertices represent the center of the line. Line objects are directional.
*'''Area Object:''' An area object on the map is defined by a sequence of vertices. Individual vertices can be moved or deleted and new ones added. The object can be stretched, reshaped, reduced, rotated or merged with other areas with the same kind of symbol.
*'''Image Object:''' An image object is an imported vector graphic element. These are solely line and area objects. Not all OCAD editing functions can be applied to image objects. An image object must be converted into an object or assigned to a symbol before it can be edited. Image objects can be converted individually or automatically based on a reference table.
:[[File:Camera.jpg|video available]] [http://www.ocad.com/howtos/60.htm Image objects]
*'''Graphic Object:''' A graphic object is an element created using the '''Convert To Graphic Object''' function. This function is used to break an object down into its individual basic elements or to convert it into an outline.
:[[File:Camera.jpg|video available]][http://www.ocad.com/howtos/59.htm Graphic objects]
*'''Symbol:''' Symbols are used to define a map object’s graphic appearance (characteristic). For example, a tree is represented by a green point on the map. Every map object drawn using the “tree” symbol will therefore have the same graphic appearance. If the symbol is changed using the symbol editor, all map objects drawn using it are also changed. OCAD provides four basic symbol types that correspond to the properties of the respective objects:
:* Point symbol
:* Line symbol
:* Area symbol
:* Text symbol
*'''Georeferencing:''' Georeferencing refers to the allocation of spatial reference information to specific objects so that they can be mapped to a geodetic reference system, i.e. augmented by geographic coordinates (geocoding). OCAD supports more than 50 geographic coordinate systems. Information about the geographic coordinate system appropriate for your application is available from the national land surveying offices, cartographic institutes or data suppliers.
*'''Vector Maps:''' Vector maps are made up of vectors (points, lines or area objects) defined by vertices. Raster maps can be created using vector maps.
*'''Georeferenced Vector Maps:''' A georeferenced vector map refers to a vector map whose vectors have been referenced using geographic coordinates (geocoding).
*'''Background Map:''' Background map refers to a raster map or OCAD file used as a background. It serves as a drawing template or background map image. Examples include scanned draft maps, satellite pictures, orthophotos, and shading. OCAD cannot be used to edit background maps.
*'''Raster Map:''' A raster map (bitmap) is made up of a series of regularly spaced pixels positioned at right angles. In OCAD, they can only be used as background maps. They can neither be edited nor converted into vector maps using OCAD. OCAD supports the following raster map formats:
:* BMP -Bitmap
:* TIFF -Tagged Image File Format
:* JPG -Joint Photographic Experts Group
:* GIF -Graphics Interchange Format
*'''Georeferenced Raster Map:''' A georeferenced raster map refers to a raster map whose pixels have been referenced using geographic coordinates (geocoding). Georeferencing information is stored in a “world file”, a second file with the same name as the raster map file. The file extension is made up of three letters. The first two letters refer to the raster map file format, the third letter for world file. The world file should be neither renamed nor edited. With TIFF files, georeferencing information can be stored in the raster map file itself. A world file is therefore not required. OCAD supports the following world files and/or georeferenced raster map file formats:
:* BPW -World file for a BMP file
:* TFW -World file for a TIFF file
:* JGW -World file for a JPG file
:* GFW -World file for a GIF file

Insert Course Object

2011-11-29T10:15:36Z

80.238.133.235:

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

This dialog box appears when you click the Insert button in the course setting box.

Mandatory crossing point(s)

Check this option to add a mandatory crossing point. The mandatory crossing point appears in the control description.

Mandatory passage through out of bound area

Check this option to add a mandatory passage through out of bound area. The mandatory passage appears in the control description.

Map exchange

Check this option to add a map exchange. The map exchange appears in the control description.

Team variation

This is the commonly used relay variation. Runners of different teams go to different controls.

Leg variation

This variation is used for special cases. Example: In a relay for teams with 3 runners, the third runners have a longer course than the first and second runners. In this case somewhere in the course the third runners go to another control than the first and second runners.

In the case of a leg variation you can specify in the big box, which runners should have the same variant. Initially each leg is in its own column. With the mouse you can drag numbers to another column. For the above example the box should look like this:

Leg 2 has been dragged to the first column, because it has the same variant as leg 1.

Hint: Variations are used in relay courses. If you are not familiar with variations in relay courses, you should ask your national orienteering federation about information on how relay variations are used.

80.238.133.235:

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

OCAD provides completely integrated functions for course setting in orienteering.

'''Starting a course setting project'''

To [[Starting a Course Setting Project|start a course setting project]] you create a project file. Then you open the map used for the event as a background map.

'''[[Adding Course Setting Objects|Adding the course setting objects]]'''

First you [[Adding Course Setting Objects#Adding Start Controls and Finish|add start, controls and finish]].

Then you [[Adding Course Setting Objects#Adding a Marked Route|add]] the marked route from the last control to the finish and any other marked routes.

You can [[Adding Course Setting Objects#Adding a Control Description|add a control description]] which is printed together with the course.

[[Adding Course Setting Objects#Adding a Course Title|Add a course title]] (with course name and/or class names).

For relay courses [[Adding Course Setting Objects#Adding Start Numbers for Relay Courses|add the start number]].

'''Adding other objects'''

You may want to [[Adding Course Setting Objects#Adding Other Objects|add other objects]] like event title, logos, corrections to the map etc.

'''Creating Courses'''

As a next step you [[Creating a New Course|create courses]]. A course is basically a list of start, controls, marked route(s) and finish. You may want to [[Insert Course Object|insert other course objects]] like mandatory crossing point, mandatory passage through out of bound area, map exchange, relay team or leg variation.

'''Creating Classes'''

In OCAD you can either work with courses only or you can use classes and courses. Different classes may use the same course. If you want to use classes you have to [[Creating a New Class|create classes]].

'''Use DEM for Climb Calculation'''

OCAD can calculate courses' climbing based on a [[DEM]]. The [[Control Elevation|elevation of controls]] can be edited.

'''Making modifications'''

Often it is necessary to [[Making Modifications|make modifications]] to the courses generated by OCAD.

'''Use Automatical Control Description'''

OCAD provides an [[Auto Control Description|automatical control description]] tool that recognizes map objects where controls are placed and sets the corresponding IOF symbol to the control description.

'''Use Statistics to Optimize Courses'''

Choose [[Course Statistic and Event Statistic|Course Statistics and Event Statistics]] from the Course menu to optimize courses.

'''[[Course Setting Export|Exporting Courses]]'''

You can export a list of courses with their controls. This list can be imported in electronic punching systems.

If your electronic punching system supports the OCAD format, choose [[Course Setting Export#Export_Courses_Version_8_Text|Export Courses Version 8 (Text)]] from the Course menu to export the courses. Else choose [[Course Setting Export#Export_Courses_XML|Export Courses Version (XML)]] from the Course menu to export the IOF XML format.

'''Printing Courses'''

Choose [[Print Courses|Print, Courses]] from the Course Setting menu to print courses. Courses can be printed together with the map or on an already printed map. OCAD provides adjustment functions to adjust the course to the already printed map. In addition EPS files can be created to make films for offset printing.

'''Printing Control Descriptions'''

Choose [[Print Control Descriptions|Print control descriptions]] from the Course menu to print control descriptions only.

Control descriptions can printed together with the course on the map. To do this, you [[Adding Course Setting Objects#Adding a Control Description|add a control description object]].
