Control Description EPS Export

When exporting a course, the control descriptions are not exported.
Is there any way to save the Descriptions as an EPS file?

Thanks, Adrian

In general, control descriptions are exported with the course. This works both for export to EPS file, bitmap file, and OCAD file.

However, if the control descriptions are located outside the exported area, then they will not be visible in the exported file. This is applicable for EPS and bitmap exports.

When exporting, you can choose between three different area types:

1) The entire map area. This will export the area corresponding to the map file, including any symbols and control descriptions outside the map file area.

2) The area covered by the course (and any course symbols such as registration mark). In this case, the export will not include the control descriptions if they are placed outside the course area -- which they usually are.

3) The defined printout page area. This will export exactly the area defined by using the menu "Course overprints" / "Configure print window".


So, to summarise, if the control descriptions are located inside the chosen area, then they will be included in the export.

If you experience that this doesn't work as intended, don't hesitate to contact me, and I'll try to sort out the problem as soon as possible.


There is no other means as such to get the control descriptions to an eps file, but you can use the "preview control descriptions" menu to show control descriptions, then the "Edit" / "Copy" menu to get the control descriptions to the clipboard.
