3.2.17.3 Creating, deleting and copying the courses

Using the track library, it is possible to perform some simple operations on the courses in the list. If the user

wishes to modify the course in use without losing the original settings, for example, it is possible to create a

new version of the course by pressing the Create New button. In this way, a new track with the name

new_track will be created in the Tracks Present list. This track will be a version with no finish line, split

points or segments of the course in use. If, on the other hand, the user wishes to make a copy of an existing

track, simply select and press the Create Copy… button. The user will be required to specify a name for the

new track.

Finally, in order to delete a track, simply select it and press the Delete button. The track will be deleted from

the track list and will be erased from the computer hard drive.

3.2.17.4 Setting the finish line

As a session may be divided into laps, it is necessary for the associated track to have a finish line, In order to

set a finish line on a previously selected track, click on the first control at the top of the track library. From this

control, it is possible to select which element to add or modify in the graphic representation of the course

below.

Once the heading Finish line has been selected (in the drop-down control in the top left-hand corner), it is

possible to define the corresponding position on the course (FL) by clicking on the image of the track and

dragging the mouse (holding down the left-hand button), drawing a line with the required dimensions. When

the mouse button is released, the finish line is positioned permanently. Ensure that the finish line intersects

the course, otherwise the laps cannot be calculated. It is advisable to create a stretch which is perpendicular

to the direction of travel and has a suitable length, neither too short (otherwise it does not divide all the laps),

nor too long (otherwise it may intersect the lap at several points). If, on the other hand, the finish line is
