Editing a layout panel


 

Dear Dave
?
I have done these things over a billion times but have no memory of what to do and no matter what i try nothing works.. i cant find the info in the manual in the edit layout panel area.
using jmri 5.10 on windows 11 with a pad-no mouse.
?
in edit mode i select block content and select block 39
i place cursor in upper left corner and click space bar-the selection menu at the top now starts going crazy selecting one item after the other. ?
?
This is new-why does that happen?
?
shift click gets the block content in the upper left corner
i select the object and try to move it. I combine the arrow with every key possible and nothing moves it as i move the cursor
?
how do i move an object?
?
tony


 

Ps:
?
why does setting block sensors to inactive cause the block content in the block table to be erased.

Tony,

Select "Options -> Show Help Bar in Edit Mode". ?This will show you the mouse/key actions.

Note: ?Make sure nothing is selected by clicking in a blank area.

Tony,

When a block becomes unoccupied, the block content is no longer valid so it is erased.

AD,

Normal case when a train leaves a block, it goes inactive and erasing the content makes for normal movement. But when that content hasn’t moved to any other block, it becomes lost. What else could it do?
