The Course Setting Box on the right side of the window provides several editing options fo added course setting objects (Start, Control, Finish, Marked Route etc.).

Change Code

Change the code of the selected course setting object by clicking the corresponding button (see figure). The Course Object dialog box appears. Enter a arbitrary new code (no restrictions) or click the arrows to find the first or the next free code. Click the OK button when finished.

Text Block

Click this button (see figure above) to add a text block to the control description. The Course Object dialog appears. Enter a code for the text block and click the OK button. The text block appears in the list of all course objects to the left of the Object box. Select it and type a text in the field standing for the text control description (see figure above). Now the text block has to be added to a course. For this reason, select the course, mark the correct position in the course (e.g. after control number 38) and double-click the text block in the course object list. The inserted text appears in the control description.

Lock or Unlock Selected Object

Click the Lock button (see figure above) to lock or unlock course setting objects. If the course setting objects are locked, they cannot be moved in the drawing area.

Text Control Description

Enter a text in this field (see figure above) for the text control description. Alternatively, the text control description can be edited using the Edit Text Control Description function in the Course Setting menu. Defining a text for the text control description is possible for Starts, Controls, Marked Routes and Text Blocks (displayed also in the symbol control description).
