OCAD Methods

Defined as line symbol 416.0. All drawing tools may be used but care is needed with the bézier tool. The Outline/Fill tool is often used with this symbol, check that you edit out the part of the symbol that may be duplicated, typically along a track or second boundary.

Drawing Considerations

See minimum dimensions but specifically - shortest dotted line: at least two dots.

Is the boundary really distinct? Would you allow it as a control site? If not, then it is indistinct and needs no dots.

Pictorial Descriptions

Forest corner: the corner or tip of a wood projecting into open ground.
