John,
The block list is shown in the track edit dialog.
I did some more testing. ?All you need to do remove the block name from the field and click on Done.

Dave S,
Yes, I have disabled the auto block when I realized the mess it made.?
I guess I don’t understand the difference between the block list and the block table but I’ll look it over and give it a try.?
Since the program doesn’t fully launch anymore, I may not be able to get into the list/tables. If not I’ll step back to the previous xml and start over.?
It’s a learning experience. Thanks.?

John,
I assume you have disabled auto block.
Edit each piece of track. ?Scroll the block list to the top and click on the blank entry. ?The old entry will be highlighted. ?Delete it. ? Click on Done.
Due to technical reasons, you need to store and load the xml file two times before you can delete the old entries from the Block table.

My original project was to combine two LE Panels, the Main railroad panel and the 5 track passenger station panel. Knowing there isn’t a quick way to join them, I proceeded to redraw the 5 track station onto the Main panel.?
Without realizing that the ?> Track Options > Automatically Assign Blocks to Tracks was turned on, every piece of track was assigned an AUTOBLK: ##, which I didn’t want nor need. I won’t need block detectors nor signaling. Any signals will be SSL to determine the turnout positions. Now I want to know how to remove block assignments from the newly drawn tracks since, as I see it, nothing can be deleted while they are assigned.?
I attempted to rename the unwanted blocks to a common name so when I could break the assignments I might only need to delete one large block. What I ended up with was, upon restarting JMRI everything opened properly the Main LE panel, The WiThrottle window, and the JMRI (center of screen) logo. The PanelPro control window did _not_. I didn’t have a way to close the program or make any preference changes.?
Since I put in so much work, so far, is there a fix to get JMRI to launch completely or is it easier to cut my losses and go back to a previous .xml file. Still how do I remove block assignments properly? I’m stumped. ?
Thanks in advance for reading.
