3. Choose the Export command from the menu.
4. Choose the Area for Export.
5. Select the OpenStreetmap-XML-data option as format.
6. Click the Export button.

   

7. Create a New Map and use the OpenStreetMap 10 000.ocd symbol set in the Topographic, city or leisure map category.
8. Choose the Import command in the File menu and select the just downloaded map.osm' file.
9. If the map is not saved yet, OCAD asks you to File#Save As the map.

11. Click the OK button to continue.
12. The Import OpenStreetMap XML dialog appears. You have to load a CRT-File now. Learn more about CRT-Files on the Cross Reference Table page. The osm2ocad.crt file is used by default and fits with the chosen symbol set. If you uncheck the Convert Imported Layers to Symbols box, the OSM data is imported as Unsymbolized Objects. Otherwise, a symbol is allocated to each OSM object, which is that, what you normally want.

    

13. Click the OK button to continue
14. The Map offset dialog appears. It is possible to change the coordinate system once again in this dialog. In addition, you can enter a new offset. OCAD proposes an offset which fits best to the OSM data. Choose the Existing offset and angle option if you do not want to change the offset.
