This new map offset is calculated from the map and his visible background maps. If the background maps are hidden then OCAD calculates the new map offset only from the map.

			[[File:Hint.jpg]] '''Look for area symbols with a hatching structure''' (e.g. north lines) that have been cut out to make underlying objects visible. For an ISOM 2017 1:10'000 map, the hatch for north lines area symbol has a distance of 30mm, which is 300m in reality. If you center the map to the drawing area, you should adjust the suggested offset so it is divisible by 300m, e.g. 3km. (Example: Existing offset: 619000, Suggested New Offset: 612000, Adjust Offset to: 613000).
			After the transformation the map is not excalty centered, but all area structures with hatch distance divisible by 300m remain the same.
