1.3 Service Update OCAD makes regular Service Updates available. In this Service Updates are bug fixes and new functions. It is strongly recommended to keep your OCAD up to date and install the newest Service Update. The current Service Update is available on this link: https://www.ocad.com/de/downloads

OCAD has to be closed for installing the Service Update.



2 New Map 2.1 Start a New Map File Before start mapping you should define the map scale. Especially for map sprint maps it is time consuming job to change the map scale from 1:5’000 to 1:4’000 later on. A lot of objects have to been shifted.

File New…

Dialog New File Map type: Orienteering map To start a new orienteering map in the scale 1:10‘000: Load symbol set from: Orienteering Map 10 000.ocd Map scale

For a sprint orienteering map in scale 1:4‘000, use the symbol set Orienteering Map 5 000 ISSOM.ocd and set the map scale to 1:4’000 in the bottom of this dialog. OK

2.2 Set a Map You have to define the coordinate of the map center and the coordinate system of the new map. Therefore, the georeferenced files (Orthophotos, Laserscanning) and the GPS files will be automatically correctly positioned.

Map Set Scale and Coordinate System…

Do not change the Map scale in dialog after you have started drawing a map! Otherwise the map has a wrong scale. Change map scale in



Map Change Scale… if needed. Coordinate System Select Real-world coordinates Easting offset/ Northing offset: Enter the coordinates in the center of the map, rounded in km. Angle: Enter the deviation from the magnetic North to the coordinate system. At the moment there are 0-degree deviation in Switzerland. Grid distance: Easiest equal to the distance between the North Lines. (e.g. 250 m at maps in the scale of 10‘000) Coordinate System: Choose the coordinate system (see 2.3). OK

2.3 Georeferencing Georeferencing means, that you assign space-related reference information to objects in a spatial reference system. Shortly: A georeferenced map is assigned to a coordinate system. OCAD supports many different coordinate systems. Map Set Scale and Coordinate System: Click on the button Choose. Choose Coordinate system and Zone OK



3 Create the Base Map for the Field Work The base map for the field work is mostly created in OCAD. More and more base maps combine orthophotos, derivates from Airborne Laserscanning like contour lines, hillshading, vegetation classification, vector data sources and old orienteering maps. (e.g. http://www.swiss-orienteering.ch/files/kommission_karten/kt/kt_2008_erfahrungen_airborne_5.pdf or http://www.ol-shop.ch/product.php?product_id=12).

3.1 Raster Base Map Typically, the orthophotos and topographic maps for orienteering maps are delivered as raster files. OCAD 12 supports the following raster files: JPG, TIFF and PNG. Orthophotos and topographic maps are mostly georeferenced. Raster files are georeferenced, when the pixels are referenced with the coordinates. Normally the georeferencing data is saved in a world file. The world file has the same file name as the raster file, but with another file extension: JPG JGW, TIFF TFW, PNG PGW. When you get base map file you have to check the coordinate system.

3.1.1 Open not Georeferenced Raster Base Map as a Background Map

Background Map Open

Dialog Background map Resolution: 300 dpi (standard OCAD) Draft scale: Scale of the base map e.g. 5000 Angle: Enter here the scale if the background map is rotated (e.g. 90° rotated from scanning). OK

Background map Adjust



Adjust a Background Map When the background map has a coordinate grid: Show screen grid Standard Toolbar Show Screen Grid

Now you can adjust the coordinates of the background map with the coordinates of the map: 1. Click on a cross of the coordinate system in

the background map. 2. Click on the same cross of the coordinate

system in the map. Step 1 and 2 can be repeated. Enter key With the Enter key the adjustment is executed. The background map is rotated and stretched to get the best fit for the adjustment points. The adjustment can be repeated until you are satisfied with the adjustment.

Print the Map with the Grid We recommend you to print the grid on the base map (Option Print screen grid in the print dialog). Thereby you can adjust your scanned base map easier. In the dialog Print select Print screen grid and choose the Grid color. Print map: see chapter 8

3.1.2 Open Georeferenced Raster Base Map as Background Map

Background Map Open The Background map is automatically placed properly.

Print Base Map with Grid (see 3.1.1)

3.2 Preparation of Airborne Laserscanning Data ALS data are often a base for the orienteering map. Laserscanning Data is (are) available as a point cloud in the las/laz file format or as terrain or surface model in the xyz file format. From these files you can create the contours and the hill shading. Are point clouds or surface model available, you can get more information about the vegetation. ALS files are very large and the calculating needs a lot of memory (RAM). Because of that it is recommended to import the ALS files with the 64 bit Version of OCAD.

1. Click 178000/619000 on the background map

2. Click 178000/619000 on the map

1+2 Coordinate 178000/619000 adjusted



If you want to generate a contour lines, you need some auxiliary symbols (Contour 1m, Contour 5m, Contour 25m), that you have to import first. Press the Shift key File Import… Release the Shift key Because you pressed this key, you are automatically in the OCAD program subfolder Templates. Select the Template DEM Contour Lines.ocd and open it.

Dialog Import OCAD Map Select in Symbols the option Import all symbols and colors and in Colors Import colors at the top of the color table. OK The new three blue line symbols appear at the bottom of the symbol box.

DEM DEM Import Wizard…

Dialog DEM Import Wizard Click the Add button and select the desired files. Next This step needs a bit of time to process, because the big files are decompressed and analyzed.



On the right side you can select the products, that you desire to generate with the Airborne Laserscanning data. Depends on the available data, this option can differ. In this example las files (point cloud) are imported. Next

In the next dialog you can set the option, which classifications and impulses should be used from the point cloud for the DTM and the DSM. Next If you want to generate Contour Lines: Select the Lines Symbols on the right side. E.g. the previous imported symbols (10050.000, 10051.000, 10052.000). For an orienteering map with a contour interval of 5m it is recommended to have a contour interval of 1m. Next Next Next In this dialog you can set options of the Hill shading, the Calculate Slope Gradient and the Colored classification of the Classify Vegetation Height. The standard settings deliver often good result. Next The different products are calculated from Airborne Laserscanning Data.

All maps are shown as background maps in the OCAD file. Background Map Manage… Dialog Manage Background Maps appears and you can change the visibility in the first column (see 4.2Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.).



3.3 Import Vector Data Vector data can also be used to create the base map. The advantage is that vector data contain point, line, area and text objects which are directly converted to map objects during the import into OCAD. It saves a lot of time because especially in urban surroundings many map objects can be created automatically instead of being digitized manually. Governmental data is generally available as DXF or Shape files. OCAD can also import other vector data formats like PDF, AI, SVG or OSM (Open Street Map).

File Import…

Dialog Import DXF File Offset: Enter new coordinate offset if it is not already set. OK

The vector data is shown as Unsymbolized objects in the drawing area. You can symbolize the objects automatically: Map Convert Imported Layers to Symbols…



Dialog Convert Imported Layers to Symbol CRT file Load… In the part Imported layer all layers appear with the corresponding symbols. Execute

The map now shows all objects with the assigned symbols.

3.4 Revision of an Existing Orienteering Map If you use an old orienteering map as a base map for the revision, you have to consider following points at the preparation of the OCAD file:

Control if the scale is proper. Check the declination Correct the symbol set and match it to the current international specification Convert freehand lines into curves Delete disturbing objects. The base map shouldn’t contain any dark area objects.

The preparation of an existing OCAD file for a revision needs experience. It is recommended to consult an experienced map drawer or a map consultant.



4 Prepare your field work for digitizing 4.1 Scan Field Work, Open it as a Background Map and Adjust

Scan field work and save it in a raster format (JPG, TIFF or PNG).

Background Map Open

Adjust a Background Map Now you have to adjust the field work with the map (see 2.3): 1. Click on a cross of the coordinate system

in the background map. 2. Click on the same cross of the coordinate

system in the map. Step 1 and 2 can be repeated. (Ideally with four points: A, B, C, D) Enter key Press the Enter key to complete the adjustment. The background map is rotated and stretched to get the best fit for the adjustment points. The adjustment can be repeated until you are happy.

The function adjust background map has the key F9.

4.2 Background Map Options The single background maps can be managed with the background map options.

Background Map Manage

Or click on this symbol in the toolbar.

Dialog Manage Background Maps

T (Transparency): on/off Transparency on = subjacent background maps are shown. Transparency off = you see only the highest background map from the table

The order of the background maps can

be changed with icon or with drag and drop. Remove all All background maps are removed. Remove The selected background map is removed.

If you remove a not georeferenced background map, you have to adjust it after you opened it again.

4.3 Hide Background Maps Background Map Hide All: on/off On = All background maps are hidden.

This function has the key F10. (See also ‚Shortcuts’, Chapter 9.2).



5 Draw an Object on the Map 5.1 Drawing Generally To draw an object, click on the symbol in the symbol box first, then choose the drawing tool in the toolbar and finally draw the object in the drawing area. There are six different symbol types:

Point Object Line Object Area Object Text Object Line Text Object Rectangle Object

It is recommended to draw the point and line objects first and at the end the area objects, because they cover the background map.

5.2 Draw a Point Object You have two different types of point objects, the one, that are orientated to the North (e.g. small depression, pit, small tower) and the other one, that has to be drawn orientated to the landscape. (e.g. spring, cave)

Point Object, Orientated to the North 1. Choose a point symbol in the symbol

7 Colors and Symbols 7.1 Colors In the Colors dialog (Map Colors…) you can manage the colors of the symbols. You shouldn’t change something in the list, when you don’t know what you are doing. The order of the colors in the color list regulates the overlaying: a color covers at the printing all the colors that are below. Perhaps the CMYK color value has to be changed. The CMYK color value based on a test print of the color reference test sheet of Swiss Orienteering. http://www.swiss-orienteering.ch/files/kommission_karten/solv_sept._2009_zusammenfassung_ farbstreifen-symbolstze_ocad.pdf
