The following topics are presented:

– Function Define Paper Size
The paper size is visible in the drawing area and the area outside is grayed out. This is useful for displaying a print area or creating a map layout.

– Function Feature Maps
The Feature Map can be used to recognize objects close to the ground such as stones, walls, tree trunks, fences, or cars which were previously not or only poorly recognizable on background maps that can be created with the DEM Wizard in OCAD.

– Prototype of the OCAD Sketch App further development
The further development of the OCAD Sketch App will support vector objects.
You will be able to easily switch between sketches and vector objects to enable efficient mapping in the terrain.
