Locked Turnouts on panel only operate in closed direction


 

On the panel I created in PanelPro to represent the current state of my layout, clicking on the turnouts on the panel will operate the turnouts in the closed direction only. ?However, clicking on them to throw the turnouts has no effect. ?Operating the turnouts using the turnout table, a few LRoutes I have created, or by the turnout control dialog box work great in both directions, close and throw. ?In all cases, the panel shows the correct state of the turnout (closed or thrown), the physical turnout also operates (closed or thrown) as directed, and the state in the turnout table shows the correct state. ?But using the panel only works when closing the turnouts - this applies to all 11 of the turnouts I currently have installed. ?When the turnout is closed, clicking on it, which should throw the turnout, has no effect on the panel, the turnout table, or the layout. ?Any suggestions or ideas?

I haven't uploaded the configuration file yet, but I can if need be.

Thanks in advance,
Rummy


 

Rummy,

Make sure that ¡°Options >> Allow Layout Control¡± is checked.

If that looks OK, upload the panel xml file.

Dave,

Yes, Options - Allow Layout Control has always been checked. ?I uploaded the panel xml file to a folder called something like "Rummy's panel only operates turnouts in closed direction" or something like that. ?It's strange that it only operated in 1 direction for all turnouts. ?In the past, they did operate in both directions, but since learning to create sensors in the table before putting sensors on the panel, this has been happening.

Thanks for looking into this. ?You guys are a great resource!

Rummy,

Disable "Options >> Use Direct Layout Control¡±.

According to the help, when not in edit mode, the left mouse button closes and the right mouse button throws.

Dave,

That did the trick. ?I do remember reading that in the help a couple weeks ago, but I failed to put 2 and 2 together.

Thanks again for the help,
Rummy
