For normal courses there is one line per course/class, for relay courses and one-man relay courses there is one line per runner (the range of start numbers must have been defined in the Course dialog box). The fields are separated with semicolons (;). It contains the following fields:

# Class name as entered in the Classes dialog box. If courses are exported (see above Export) then this field remains empty.
# Course name.
# Start number.
:* for normal courses this number is "0".
:* for relay courses this is the start number of the team, a point and the number of the runner (e.g. "101.1")

Add Course Setting Objects

2011-11-25T15:21:57Z

80.238.188.147:

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

==Adding Start Controls and Finish==

'''Start'''

# Select the Start symbol in the symbol box.
# Select any drawing mode.
# Click in the drawing area to place the object. Now the Course Object dialog box appears. It proposes the code S1 for the start.
# Click '''OK'''. On the right side of the screen you find now a line for a text description and a line for a symbolic description.
# If required enter a text description or a symbolic description.

'''Control'''

You create a control in the same way as the start object.

Select the Control symbol in the symbol box.

Here you should always enter either a text or a symbolic description or both.

'''Finish'''

You create the finish in the same way as the start object.

Select the Finish symbol in the symbol box.

But you cannot enter a description. The appearance of the finish in the symbolic control descriptions is determined by the marked route from the last control to the finish.

==Adding a Marked Route==

On most events you have a marked route from the last control to the Finish. Sometimes you may also have marked between controls (to cross bridges, dangerous areas etc.).

The description here applies to marked routes which the runner must use. If you want to add a marked route just for information, but which is not part of the course you have to add it as other object.

To create a marked route:

# Select the marked route in the symbol box.
# Select a drawing tool (e.g. the curve tool)
# Draw the marked route from the last control to the finish (in the direction in which the competitors are running).
# Now the Course Object dialog box appears automatically. If the course object dialog box does not appear automatically, you must make a modification for the marked route symbol. See below.
# Click '''OK'''.

This marked route is used for rendering the description of the finish in the control descriptions. If you check "Funnel tapes", then the symbol for funnel tapes will appear in the symbolic description.

You may also use marked routes anywhere in the course, but note that they must be drawn in the direction in which the competitors are running, otherwise the course will not be drawn correctly.

[[File:Hint.jpg]] -Important: Marked routes must be added to each course like controls and finish.
: -If the Course Object dialog box does not appear automatically

# Right-click on the Marked route symbol in symbol box.
# From the context menu select Edit. The Line Symbol dialog box appears.
# In the Main line page activate Course setting symbol: Marked route.
# Click OK.

==Adding a Control Description==

To print a control description together with the course you have to place a control description object. This object is a placeholder and marks the upper left corner of the control description.

# Select the control description symbol in the symbol box.
# Select any drawing mode.
# Place an object to mark the upper left corner of the control description.
# The '''Course Object''' dialog box appears. You can leave the preset values unchanged and click '''OK'''.
# If you want a text description, activate '''Text description''' in the course setting panel on the right side of the screen.

If the background map should be masked below the text description, activate the option '''White background''' in Options from the Course menu.

==Adding a Course Title==

Normally you add the title of the course. OCAD allows you to use the course name, a list of all classes using that course or both as a course title.

To add a course title, you place a text object which is a placeholder for the course title. This text object will be filled with the course title in each course.

# Select the course title symbol in the symbol box.
# Select any drawing mode.
# Click on the map to place the text object.
# The Course Object dialog box appears automatically. If it does not appear automatically, you must make a modification to the course title symbol. See below.
# Click '''OK'''.
# The object appears with the text "Course". This text will be replaced with the course title in each course.

'''Define what is in the course title'''

You can choose whether the course title should contain the course name or a list of classes or both.

# Choose Options from the Course menu. The Course Options dialog box appears.
# Select the desired course title in the '''Course title''' box.

The same course title will also appear in controls descriptions.

'''If the Course Object dialog box does not appear automatically'''

# Right-click on the course title symbol in the symbol box.
# From the context menu select '''Edit'''. The Text Symbol dialog box appears.
# In the '''General''' page activate '''Course setting symbol''' and select '''Course title'''.
# Click '''OK'''.

==Adding Start Numbers for Relay Courses==

For relay courses, you must add the start number to the course in order to give the right map to the right runner.
To add a start number, you place a text object which is a placeholder for the start number. This text object will be filled with the start number in each course.

# Select the start number symbol in the symbol box.
# Select any drawing mode.
# Click on the map to place the text object.
# The Course Object dialog box appears automatically. If it does not appear automatically, you must make a modification to the start number symbol. See below.
# Click '''OK'''.
# The object appears with the text "51.1". This text will be replaced with the start number on each map.

'''If the Course Object dialog box does not appear automatically'''

# Right-click on the start number symbol in the symbol box.
# From the context menu select '''Edit'''. The Text Symbol dialog box appears.
# In the '''General''' page activate '''Course setting symbol''' and select '''Start number (relay)'''.
# Click '''OK'''.

==Adding Other Objects==

In a course overprint you may want to add other objects like:

* event title
* logo of the event
* date of the event
* corrections to the map
* other information relevant to the runner

The standard symbol set contains a symbol for the event title . For other objects you may have to create your own symbols. It is important for these symbols that the option '''course setting symbol''' is switched '''off'''. The option '''course setting symbol''' must be used only for objects which belong to a course like controls, the marked route from the last control to the finish or the course title.

'''Example'''

If there is a marked route for children which you would like to appear on all other courses (just for information) you proceed as follows:

# Right-click the marked route symbol in the symbol box.
# Choose Duplicate from the context menu. A new symbol with the same icon is created.
# Right-click the new symbol.
# Choose Edit from the context menu.
# Deactivate '''Course setting symbol: Marked route'''.

Use this new symbol to draw the children course.

==Adding a Control Description==

To print a control description together with the course you have to place a control description object. This object is a placeholder and marks the upper left corner of the control description.

# Select the control description symbol in the symbol box.
# Select any drawing mode.
# Place an object to mark the upper left corner of the control description.
# The '''Course Object''' dialog box appears. You can leave the preset values unchanged and click OK.
# If you want a text description, activate '''Text description''' in the course setting panel on the right side of the screen.

If the background map should be masked below the text description, activate the option '''White background''' in Options from the Course menu.

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.

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)]] from the Course menu to export the courses. Else choose [[Course Setting Export|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]].

(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.

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 elevation of controls can be edited.

Making modifications

Often it is necessary to make modifications to the courses generated by OCAD.

Use Automatical Control Description

OCAD provides an 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 Statistics and Event Statistics from the Course menu to optimize courses.

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 Export Courses Version 8 (Text) from the Course menu to export the courses. Else choose Export Courses Version (XML) from the Course menu to export the IOF XML format.

Printing Courses

Choose Print, Courses from the Course 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 from the Course menu to print control descriptions only.

Control descriptions can printed together with the course on the map. To do this, you add a control description object.
