Control Description (Control dialog)

The Control description tab of the Control dialog has the following data fields:
Code
This is the control's code. Normally, controls are numbered from 31 and up, and numbers that can be misread if upside down are normally skipped.
Symbol Template
The symbolic description of the control:
To enter a symbol into a field, place the focus highlight in the field. A symbol palette is then activated. Select the desired symbol from the palette by clicking the mouse on it.
To delete a previously entered symbol, use the Del key on the keyboard, or click the right mouse button then select "Delete symbol" from the pop-up menu.

Time Start Route (only for start points)
For start points, the distance field can be used to indicate the length of the route from the time start to the start triangle. The entered distance is added to the calculated course length.
If you wish to show the marked route from time start to start triangle on the map, check the box "Marked route from time start". When this box is checked, Condes shows a dashed line from the time start/map issue point (shown with a cross bar at the end of the line) to the start triangle. When you select the start point on the map, you can manipulate the marked route by moving the end point, and by inserting points to bend the line.
Condes calculates the distance along the line and adds it to the course length, unless you uncheck "Auto-calculate distance".
Optionally, you can enable "Different route for relay leg 1". When this option is enabled, there will be routes from TWO individual time starts. The route used for relay leg 1 is visible only when you display a relay course, and on the "Edit controls" view. When you print a relay course, you can choose between "leg 1" and "leg 2-".
Finish Route Markings
For finish points, select one of the following control types:
Marked Route
Enter the distance (in meters) of the marked route. The distance appears in a marked route box below the control description for the control, or as a finish route at the bottom of the control description.
The distance field is only available for Start and Finish points and for controls with marked routes.
For finish points, the distance indicates the length of the marked route from the last control. The entered distance does not affect the calculated course length.
For controls with marked route the distance indicates the length of the marked route away from the control. This entered distance does not affect the calculated course length.
By checking the "Auto-calculate distance" box, you can let Condes calculate the distance, based on the leg length of the leg from the course's last control to the finish point. Obviously, this is not applicable for a marked route to a start point.
Auto-calculate Distance
If this box is checked, Condes calculates the distance based on the leg length of the relevant leg.
