- Mappers Corner: Useful Information & Links for OCAD Users
May 2019: OCAD announces that it no longer provides support for OCAD 12 & earlier. This includes the provision of the latest symbol sets. If you have OCAD you can unzip & copy the following current symbol sets into you symbol directory (a sub directory of OCAD). This included ISOM 2017.2 & the latest sprint template ISSproM2019
Soon a new Print Test Sheet that matches ISOM 2017.2 & ISSproM2019 May 2019 will be released.
