CTC Model Board

 

Is there a way to keep my model board “as-is” while reconfiguring some of the columns?

I am not currently a user of JMRI's newer "CTC" tools, but I have experimented with it, before deciding to "do it myself" without the JMRI newer CTC tool.

But I have to ask, what "reconfiguration" do you want to do - that does not affect the "model board"? Understanding that seems important to get a usable answer for your question(s)...
 

I’d like to move a few columns, add some Call-Ons, and change a few signal levers from 3-position to 2-position. ?It’s easy enough to edit the graphics on the model board - not so easy to move switches and add functions. ?I like the CTC GUI generation tool and would prefer to use that.

I'm sorry, but how can you "move a few columns" or "Add some Call-Ons" or "change a few signal levers from 3-position to 2-position" while you (from your initial message!) 'keep my model board “as-is”'?

Those goals seem to have conflicting requirements! What am I missing here?
 

The changes I’m incorporating can be handled with some minor manual edits to the model board. I’m not adding or deleting any sensors on the model board either, just modding some graphics.?

OTOH, it seems like the most straightforward way to edit the columns is with the GUI generation tool.?
