This is a very brief tutorial on how to draw your first course in Condes. Condes is flexible, and there are many other ways to do this. When you get more familiar with Condes, you'll find your own style of working.
We assume that at this point you have the map on the screen. If not, please visit Get a quick start for instructions.
Create start and finish points
•Click on the "New Start" 
tool in the Course Symbols toolbar to the right of the map.
•The cursor now shows a small triangle next to a cross hair pointer. Click the mouse on the map where you want to place the start triangle.
Condes asks you for a code to identify the start point. For now, leave the code suggested by Condes and click OK.
•Similarly as in item 2) and 3) use the "New Finish" 
tool to place the finish circles.
Create a course
•Use the menu item Course / New Course (or the toolbar button 
). Enter the name of the course in the dialog box that pops up.
•The course automatically picks up the start point and the finish point that you just created.
Add controls to the course
•Use the "Insert control" 
tool. Notice that there is now a red "rubber band" between the start triangle and the finish circles.
•Drag the rubber band and click where you want to place control 1 on the course.
•Condes suggests a control code for the control. You can accept this by clicking OK, or you can change the code. You can change the code later if needed.
•Notice that the rubber band now stretches between control 1 and finish. Drag the rubber band and click where you want to place control 2.
•Continue the above steps until you have completed the course. It is almost like "drawing" the course...
•A control circle can be moved by dragging the circle with the mouse, so you are not lost if a circle is slightly off the control feature.
Hints...
•You can create multiple courses. The start triangle, finish circles, and all of the controls you have already created, can also be used on other courses.
•To change the control description of a control, double click inside the control's circle, and a control dialog pops up, showing the control description and other settings for the control.
•To fine tune the control circle, double click inside the control's circle to get a control dialog, then select the "circle" tab, which shows an enlargement of the control circle and lets you "nudge" the circle in place. You can also cut parts off the circle if it covers for important map features.
•To edit settings of the course, or edit relay forks, double click anywhere on the map, outside of controls and other course objects, and a course dialog pops up.
