With the latest update we launched the\u00a0OCAD Sketch Layer<\/strong>\u00a0as a\u00a0Beta version<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Sketch Layer and it’s tools are designed for orienteering map field work with a tablet computer and a pen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"OCAD<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mapping with a tablet in the terrain has some compelling advantages like real-time GPS positioning and the possibility to switch between different background maps. However, the drawing and editing tools were not yet designed for use with a tablet and pen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the trigger for this latest development: The OCAD Sketch Layer makes drawing on the tablet very ergonomic.<\/strong> Even more: Numerous colors<\/strong> and different line widths<\/strong> are available and with the eraser tool you can very easily delete parts of the sketch<\/strong> without having to select the features before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn more about it in our Video on YouTube<\/strong><\/a> and in the OCAD Wiki<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

… and give it a try!<\/strong>
The Sketch Layer can be used with the latest Update<\/a> of the OCAD editions Mapping Solution, Orienteering and Starter and in our free Trial<\/strong><\/a> versions of these editions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to your feedback and suggestions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> The tools and functions around the OCAD Sketch Layer are a Beta version. We recommend to make regular backups<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
