The current OCAD 11.5.3 Service Update contains a new feature to block out the white background for the control description also in the Draft mode<\/strong>. Up to now OCAD blocked it out only in Normal view mode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"White<\/a>

White background of control description is opaque in Normal view mode (left), but not in Draft mode (right)<\/p><\/div>\n

Here is an example of a course setting project. The orienteering map is loaded as background map.<\/p>\n

Activate the new option Draw white background even in draft mode<\/strong> in the Course Options<\/strong> dialog.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>

New option Draw white background even in draft mode<\/p><\/div>\n

Close this dialog and click Draft mode<\/b> in the View<\/b> menu. Move both draft mode sliders in the View toolbar<\/b> to the right position.<\/p>\n

\"Draft<\/a>

Select a course and click the Preview<\/b> button. The course overprint now is transparent, but the white background of the control description is opaque and blocks out the orienteering map.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The white background of the control description is opaque<\/p><\/div>\n

OCAD doesn\u2019t block out only the control description. Further more OCAD blocks out all objects drawn with this opaque color used in the symbol 760.00 White background<\/b>. By default it is the color number 203 White background<\/b>.<\/p>\n

So it is also possible to draw any area objects with this symbol or add a white framing for the control numbers to improve the readability of the course on the map.<\/p>\n

Select the symbol 703.000 Course: Control number <\/b>and click Edit<\/b> in the context menu. In General<\/strong> tab change the color from 204 Purple transparent<\/strong> to 202 Purpur<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"Change<\/a>

Change text color to Purple<\/p><\/div>\n

Click on the Framing tab, enter the new Line width<\/strong> (0.2mm) and change the Framing color<\/strong> to the opaque color 203 White background<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"Enter<\/a>

Close this dialog. The control numbers have now a white framing.<\/p>\n
