After placing all of the controls on the map, create each course by selecting the course name in the pulldown in lower RH window, then double-clicking on controls (either on the map or in the upper RH window) in the order they will be visited.To move symbols around after placing them, click on the “Edit Point” icon in the toolbar (solid arrowhead), click on symbol to select it, and then click and drag the small square in the symbol to desired loc’n (or use the up/down/left/right cursor keys).Double-circle finish control is only used if the finish isn’t at the same location as the start. Enter codes for the controls (the number on the control flag itself) now or later.
Accept the default start and finish codes. Must be in one of the drawing modes to do this (for example, toolbar->curve mode).
Add start, finish, and control locations to map (magenta triangle, double circle, and single circle in upper RH window). Use the zoom tools to zero in on the area of your meet. Can do multiple “Add”s before clicking OK.) Next: “Course->Courses->Add (type the name of the course…e.g., “White”)->OK.” (Leave everything else as-is. If you copy this file somewhere else, be copy the base map as well. The background map with all the topo and land features is still in the base map that you downloaded. The resulting file holds only the course info (controls and course routes). If you have a blank screen after loading, try going to menu View->Entire Map. Load a base map by going to menu Background map->Open… to browse to and open the map that you downloaded from the club website. All of our maps are at 10,000 scale (though you don’t have to print them at that scale…and you shouldn’t if you can use a better scale, say 1:5,000 or 1:7,500, for readability). Select 10,000 scale regardless of final scale of your map. Create a new file by going to menu File->New->Course Setting->Course setting 10000.ocd->OK. You must load a base map into OCAD before you can create a meet map. 
You can import these elements into your meet map as needed. Download other map elements that you might need like the 1:10000 scale bar, legend, logo, etc.Contact a board member or another meet director for the username and password.
The software is on a password protected page. Contact a board member or another meet director for the username and password (same as for base maps).īefore you can create a meet map and set courses, you need to get a base map to load into OCAD. The download is on a password protected page. Please consult the maps and software page for better options. OCAD 9 Demo version which we used for many years is no longer supported and won’t read our most up-to-date maps.
