Step 2. Check Symbol Set

The symbol set is how the OCAD Converter decides what to do with each symbol type of the OCAD map. Since OCAD symbols are customizable, you may need to edit the default symbol set if the symbol numbers on your map don't match the OCAD default.

When the symbols are in 'Sorted' mode, you are most concerned with symbols in the "Unrecognized" category. These symbols are used somewhere within the convert area you selected, but are not defined, so they will be left out.

To define a symbol, right-click on the symbol number and select "Insert". Then select the type of the Symbol Convert Parameter you would like to add. Note that there are different parameter types available for the OCAD point/line/area symbols.

Area Vegetation	Control the trees, run speed, and colors of an area.
