UPDATE

I have fixed this. The reason was a large number of spaces was slipped in the start of the messages destroying the formatting stc. I cleared these and now I can read the HELP file properly.

Thanks for your swift reply Dave. Point taken regarding the number of variations on the market.

I still have a problem of viewing the HELP info below the layout. I am using a Surface GO laptop in Windows 10.

Best wishes Peter

Dave,

If I may, I would comment that the ability to create a Double Crossover using 4 turnouts and a Diamond Crossing would be a great help as would the ability to have a smooth transition/join between Slips and Turnouts.

?

The sheer number of different designs, by manufacturers around the World that are available to us, matching the actual angles for individual Turnouts, Slips and Crossings is one thing but the creation of set formations may require separate icons that use different angles just to fit more neatly into a track plan.?

Hi Dave

Sorry for the delay in replying. Was away yesterday. I have set up as you suggested and what I am finding is the HELP info below the layout display appears to be greater width than the main display window w/o the ability to adjust it or see the hidden info.

Is there a way of modifying the turnout angles to be 45 deg in all cases? Currently the LH RH turnouts have a 22.5 deg angle between normal and diverging routes.

Thanks for your help.

Best wishes

Peter ?

Peter,

Select "Options >> Show Help Bar in Edit Mode" from the Layout Editor menu. ?This will show the key and mouse actions based on your operating system.

Thank you for your reply Dave. I cannot find a way of selecting and dragging the end points. In the Help files it talks about using a META key but I have?tried several keys CTRL ALT Fn but these do not seem to help.
Best wishes

Peter,

The length and angle of turnout, slip, and level crossing legs can be changed by dragging the end points.

For you scenario I place the turnout and the slip on the panel and connect the related end points with the required track segment. ?I then drag the?turnout diverging leg and the related slip leg until they look good. ?I normally draw track plans with 45? angles on everything so I use the grid to position?the objects and their end points.
