Turnouts cannot be thrown in Layout Editor when Editor Mode is off. (with MERG CBUS)

Sven Rosvall All Messages By This Member #155608 Hi all, Getting started with Layout Editor to control turnouts on my layout. The turnouts are controlled by MERG CBUS modules. I have defined them in the turnout table and can change them between "thrown" and "closed" without any problems. Good start so far. Then I drew a few of these points in the LayoutEditor and used the entries in the Turnout table. This worked fine and I could throw and close the points by clicking on the turnout icons. But then I turned off Edit Mode (in Options menu). Now clicking on the turnouts would only close the turnouts. Clicking again would make a noise in the turnout solenoid but the turnout would not change, so something is happening. Anyone seen this or have any hints on how to trouble shoot this? Thanks / Sven Rosvall

If it is not checked, then the left mouse button toggles the turnout between closed and thrown.
