There are four different view modes:
* Normal Mode
 
* Spot Color Mode
===[[View_Mode#Normal_Mode|Normal Mode]]===
* Draft Mode
In the Normal Mode the map objects appear absolutely intransparent and lie over the Background Map.
* Draft Mode (Only Background Map Favorites)
 
===[[View_Mode#Spot_Color_Mode|Spot Color Mode]]===
This command gets a simulation of the spot color printing. It's enabled if at least one spot color has been defined.
 
===[[View_Mode#Draft_Mode|Draft Mode]]===
In the draft mode the map is displayed transparent and the background maps are visible.
 
===[[View_Mode#Draft_Mode_Only_Background_Map_Favorites|Draft Mode (Only Background Map Favorites)]]===
This view mode has the same characteristics as the Draft Mode, with the exception that only background maps marked as favorites are displayed.

This option sets the appearance of dashed lines as it was in former OCAD versions (OCAD 10 and earlier).
<br>
This option is unchecked by default. If it is checked then dashed lines appear as in OCAD 10. If the option is unchecked, then dashed lines' appearance is based on the new more precise calculation introduced in OCAD 11.
<br><br>
Please make sure that other OCAD users, who use this file with OCAD 11, have installed the latest service update. The ''Line Objects Appearance as in OCAD 10'' option is ignored up to and including OCAD 11.5.3. For this reason a warning appears if this option is changed: <br>
[[File:LineAppearanceAsOcad10Warning.png|Line appearance option change warning|400px]]
<br><br>
 
'''Example''' <br>
Line Appearance in OCAD 11 and later (left image) and OCAD 10 and earlier(right image). Path and form line dashes can be different.<br>
[[File:Hint.jpg|hint]] Please note that you can avoid unwanted gaps by placing [[Vertices#Add_Dash_Vertex|'''dash vertices''']] at critical places like bifurcations or tight curves.

Line Objects Appearance as in OCAD 10 Space.PNGThis function is available in OCAD Mapping Solution.This function is available in OCAD Orienteering.This function is available in OCAD Starter.This function is available in OCAD Viewer.This function is available in OCAD Course Setting.

This option sets the appearance of dashed lines as it was in former OCAD versions (OCAD 10 and earlier).
This option is unchecked by default. If it is checked then dashed lines appear as in OCAD 10. If the option is unchecked, then dashed lines' appearance is based on the new more precise calculation introduced in OCAD 11.

Please make sure that other OCAD users, who use this file with OCAD 11, have installed the latest service update. The Line Objects Appearance as in OCAD 10 option is ignored up to and including OCAD 11.5.3. For this reason a warning appears if this option is changed:
Line appearance option change warning

Example
Line Appearance in OCAD 11 and later (left image) and OCAD 10 and earlier(right image). Path and form line dashes can be different.
hint Please note that you can avoid unwanted gaps by placing dash vertices at critical places like bifurcations or tight curves.

Choose this command from the View or press the F5 key (Shortcut by default) to redraw the map on the screen. This is especially useful when the displayed map is out of date due to editing operations (like deleting area objects).

Hint.jpg For Windows Vista and 7 users: We recommend to use an Windows Aero Theme. You can change the theme in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization. The Themes Windows Basic and Windows Classic lead to many unnecessary screen redrawings in OCAD.
