OCAD Methods

No symbol is provided in the default.ocd symbol set. Use careful editing and the tips below to produce a smart junction:-

Drawing Considerations

When surveying, run the main, straighter path, often the side path is not clear even though running on the side path brings you onto the main path with no difficulty.

Try to give a gap of at least the normal path gap at the junction, otherwise folks will just think it's duff cartography!

See the visible path junction topic.
