Locked Double crossover needed in Control Panel Editor


 

I have a working panel in Layout Editor for my layout and now I want to build one in CPE but CPE does not have the double crossover track segment icons I need to do my layout. I know that PE has a double crossover but I want to use CPE.? I tried to replicate the functionality of a double crossover in CPE by using left and right single crossovers back to back but it does not replicate how the flow through a double crossover actually works. I even tried using various combinations of left and right turnouts but that became a mess and did not appear that it could produce anything workable.
Are there any plans to add a double crossover icon to the CPE track set?


 

Paul,

You can flip between PE and CPE. So flip to PE mode and add your double
crossover. Then flip back to CPE.

Ken,
Will not work in PE mode. I can add a regular turnout in PE with no problem and I can get the double cross icon window to show up but the "Add to Panel" button is grayed out and will not do anything.? I am running 4.13.5.
Side note....I was told earlier that an icon supported in PE but not in CPE will not convert to CPE. I hope that is wrong.

Ken,
Finally figured out how to properly add a turnout in PE/CPE thanks to a tutorial I found on line. As a result, I can add a double crossover in PE then convert the panel to CPE. Just dig a quick test but it appears your suggestion to flip to PE to add a double crossover then back to CPE is working.
Thanks.
