How can I create a partial map for planner in Open Orienteering Mapper

Question

How can I create a partial map for planning from a map that is a work in progress ? I need to export exactly the same area each time so that the planner's software doesn't move the controls.

Answer 1

1. Create a new map part.
2. On that map part,  use a symbol that is bright and otherwise not in common use - something like the uncrossable boundary - to draw a bounding rectangle on the exact area that you want to export.
3. Save the file. This is the master.
4. Make a copy of the file.
5. Open the copy and merge all the map parts (Map|Merge All Parts)
6. Click on the bounding rectangle to select it.
7. Click on the Cutout button, or use Tools|Cutout.
8. Press the enter key
9. Save the partial map.
