Corridor course on OCad

[andypat]

Anyone enlighten me of an easy way to create a corridor or window course on OCAD 8 without deleting the rest of the map?
I'm guessing there must be a way of defining a white symbol that covers everything, but cant work out how.

Oli's notes on the British Orienteering Website gives instructions.

I use OCAD9, so hope that the steps will be similar:

1. Define a new colour at a level above all the map colours but below any map 'furniture' you want on top of the white - Symbol>Colours>Add - and then set to (say) 50% transparency.

2. Define a new area symbol - Symbol>New>Area symbol - and set to your new white colour.

3. Draw your rectangle covering your map.

4. Cut holes in usual manner.

5. Return new colour to 100%.

Thanks - I'd got as far as defining a new symbol but didnt know how/why to define a new colour - now I do. See - Nopesport is good after all!
