Creating courses

|
Add start and finish Unlike previous versions of Condes, you aren’t automatically prompted to add start and finish at the outset. If you want to add them early (not a bad idea as they’ll probably be your limiting factors), use the buttons at the top of the column of buttons on the right of the screen. |
|
Condes distinguishes between creating a new control (but not yet associating it with a course) and inserting a control into a course. How you choose to use these will depend on your preferred approach to course planning, and you’ll need to choose the right controls or courses button as above.
|
To add controls to a course, start by clicking (once) on the line joining the 2 controls between which you want to insert it (thick red line appears). Then use the Insert control button towards the top left. While the Insert control button is pressed, the thick red line follows the cursor around the screen, connecting it to the control either side. This red line disappears when you go off the layout editor screen, eg. to scroll. It’s a good reminder to switch off the insert function, which you do by clicking on the Select course object pointer. |
|
When the Insert control button is pressed, you can click on one of the existing controls to use it, or click in a new site to create and insert a new one, which you’ll be prompted to number
.

To create a totally new control (without immediately associating it with a course), use the New control button, at the top of the buttons on the right of the screen.
When that button is pressed, a control is inserted at every point on the map where you click. You can then insert them into courses, as above.
