Supported .ocd versions, hint on 'Cutout' usage
Update of the .ocd versions that can be read (2018 basically works, although issuing a warning) and can be written (8..12). A hint was added when cutting parts of a map away that the original map can easily be restored by undoing. This might be important to a) reduce the file size and b) if someone gives a map away but does not want to give the whole map away.

### How can I cut out a part of a map to take it for a new map?
4646

4747
First you save the map to the new file. Then draw some closed line or area (symbol doesn't matter) around the border of the part which you want to keep. Now when this border object is finished and selected, click on the "Cutout" icon or menu item, then press the enter key.

Keep in mind that the map area that was cut away has been added to the undo history, so anyone can restore the original map unless the undo/redo history is explicitly cleared.

### Can Mapper read and write .ocd files?

Yes, Mapper reads .ocd files from different version (8 .. 12). But currently only version 8 .ocd files can be written. Beware that some details are neither loaded from nor saved to .ocd files, and some additional inaccuracies might occur.
