Setup Overprint dialog
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

This dialog is used to edit the overprint settings that are shared for all canvases.

Fonts

Clicking a font box will open a dialog to change the font.

Control numbers

The font used for control numbers on course layouts.

Control codes

The font used for the control codes, when it is shown next to the control number.

Control codes for "all controls"

The font used for the control codes in the "all controls" mode.

Number format

Use this listbox to select which format to be used to show the control number and/or code next to the control circle.  A variety of formats are available.  The standard is to show the sequential control number next to the circle.   This can be changed so that also the control code is shown.

Show control codes for random order controls

Check this box if you wish to show control codes next to controls that can be taken in random order.   If this box is not checked, there will be no identifier at the circles for random order controls.

Make overprint effect for course overprint

Check this box to use overprint effect for the course overprint.

Overprint effect means that when printing, the overprint will not "knock out" the map under the circles and lines.  Instead you will be able to see details of the map underneath the line, which would otherwise be covered by the line. 

This emulates "real" overprinting, but is currently not a 100% correct emulation.  

Please note that PostScript printers do not support overprinting effect.  Condes can simulate this effect also on PostScript printers.  See  Setup Application.

Do NOT make overprint effect for control numbers

This box is available only when the "Make overprint effect" box is checked.  If you check this box, the control numbers (and control codes) will "knock out" the map underneath instead of using overprint effect.

Course overprint color

The color used for course overprinting.  This color is used for lines and text (numbers) when overprinting courses.

This color is used when printing on a printer or exporting as EPS, OCD, and bitmap files. 

When Condes shows the course on the screen in the Course Layout Editor, other colors are used, primarily Magenta, but also blue and red are used in certain editing modes.
