412 Orchard
Land planted with fruit trees, bushes. The dot lines may be oriented to show the direction of planting. If yellow coloured areas becomes dominant, a screen (75%) instead of full yellow may be used.
Colour: yellow 100% and green 25% (12 lines/cm).
Dot diameter 0.45mm, horizontal spacing 0.8mm
This symbol is oriented to north.
Land planted with fruit trees, bushes.
Defined as area symbol 412.0, and can be drawn with any drawing tool.
Care is needed at joins, overlap only where it is safe (usually if it is the same colour and always if it is the same symbol). If you need to share a common boundary with another symbol, draw along the edge with the control key to follow it exactly.
This is a rotatable symbol, the pattern of the fill can be rotated with the direction tool and will rotate with the map if the “include symbols” box is checked when the map is turned. This is not the same as using the rotation tool which turns the whole object, but not the fill pattern.
There is also a default OCAD symbol (412.1) for a single orchard dot. Be aware that this is a different symbol to the new special vegetation dot, which has, by a masterpiece of forethought, been defined as a slightly larger green dot!
See minimum dimensions but specifically -
- Smallest area enclosed by a dotted line: 1.5 mm (diameter) with 5 dots.
- Smallest area of colour yellow full colour: 0.5mm˛.
The ISOM lays down the permissible combination of screens.
There is no mention of this symbol in the combination section of the specifications. The inference is that this screen should remain on its own, no combinations allowed.
Dotted areas - There is a problem with the joining of these areas.
Where a large area is made out of two or more overlapping areas,
one area knocks out the underlying edge.
This appears a clean join on the screen but the filled area
covers the dots at the join on the output.
