At the moment if I draw white area it appears on each course.
If it could appear only in the one selected that would be great!

Very useful to mask area around the post.

I have found Purple Pen to be a fantastic planning resource. I want to make the case for a donation to my local orienteering club and it would help to know something of how things work behind the scenes!

Import existing XML file with controls and courses generated in Ocad. The XML file must be generated with georeferenced coordinates.

Peter, I can't find the correct way to report an issue so hence above note. Brian Slater HALO UK

Many years ago I used a planning program called Wincacs. One place it won out over purple pen was in its display of leg and control load. By drawing all used legs and controls in an event, with different size circles and thickness of lines depending on the loading it gave a much quicker idea of which legs and controls are overloaded. Currently this is a lot more clunky in purple pen. Its not critical, but it would be a nice addition.

As a professional map printer, we usually supply the control descriptions glued at the head, and print 4 or 5 courses at one time, but is it possible to stop Purple Pen filling a sheet with cd's and just have them arranged at the head?

Pourquoi, alors qu'il y a la possibilité de saisir ses schémas de poinçon, il n'y a pas la possibilité d'imprimer un carton de correction ?
Il serait vraiment intéressant d'imprimer les cartons de correction

I like hotkeys, they make things faster. Only hotkey that I managed to find was Ctrl-A for new Control.

I would suggest at least two new hotkeys:
- Select some element, Ctrl-C would copy it.
- Add last added item, Ctrl-L or Ctrl-N, or something else.

I think those would make things lot easier and faster and for the implementation point of view, doesn't sound big to implement.

i need to use 2 types of controls, mandatory ones (in blue for example) and optionnal ones (in violine).
It's to use with pupils (in france ) in team races (from 2 to 4 members).
Thanks for helping

Est-il envisageable d'avoir la possibilité de modifier la couleur de certains postes (= course au réseau de postes en scolaire) Ex : avoir certains postes en violine et d'autres postes en bleu. Cela peut aussi permettre aux créateurs de circuits de différencier leurs circuits par des couleurs de postes différentes.

Beginners are prone to mistaking 9 for 6.

1. Assign a keyboard shortcut to Item>Remove Bends to speed up the process of removing bends from a course.

2. Create a "Remove all bends" feature to remove all bends from a course or set of courses.

3. Allow courses with straight lines joining controls and also the same courses with lines bent round objects to exist in the same PP file.

Any map detail between the end of the tail and the circle part of the number tends to make the 6 or 9 look like an 8. A straight tail would never be mistaken for an 8.

When double clicking on the text, it should be possible to immediately edit the text.

When putting design on the map, I usually work with number of elements - map border, some text, some pics, logos. And very often I need to move group of them to some location. But currently this is not possible to select a group, therefore I only can select one object, and move one-by-one to new location. Very ineficient and very slow..

Requirement:
Implement multiple object selection using mouse by pressing CTRL or SHIFT or by left click mouse and drag to select area with all objects in it.

It would be great if possible to create several sections in one course : for example, runners have to check controls as they want in a first section and in order for an other section.

Would be great to be able to swtich back and forth down the list of course tabs by keypress. Like CTRL-TAB and CTRL-SHIFT-TAB in Chrome. Although I would prefer CTRL-SHIFT-{ and CTRL-SHIFT-}

For our events, we have common styling for maps. For now, we solve this by creating a pdf of the map.
But if we decide to use a different region at a later stage, we have to create new map file.
It would be great if we could add some Png/svg overlay, that can be reused between events to keep the maps in the same style and make the process of map creation simpler
