In the meantime, one simple way is to stick sectional tracks on a different layer so they show up in a different colour ..... which is obviously easier if you do it from the start!

Thank you Adam, It looks like what I am trying to do may remain problematic even if this selection bug is fixed, because then I probably won't even be able to do the selection that I was

Thanks, Dave. I have registered and entered feature requests for selection of sectional track pieces and replacement of selected track pieces. Andy D Jones

Yes they can -> please remember to sign-in so that the request does not need moderation - as there is no prompting about that and it will appear as though it "vanished" to the submitter. A signed-in

You see Feature Requests here https://sourceforge.net/p/xtrkcad-fork/feature-requests/ Not sure if non-admins can add them Dave

I'd like to turn this into a future feature request, at least for "special" track sections i.e. turnouts, crossovers etc., and maybe even structures. I could have used this feature the other day while

Thanks Dave & Adam. Simply finding the instances of a part number/description, and adding them to a group (as if I had ctrl-clicked each one) would be nice, so they would be pre-selected for group

see https://www.shellhacks.com/windows-grep-equivalent-cmd-powershell/ for a Windows equivalent of grep. A nice extension of the BOM would be to be able to highlight specific track pieces. Not only

Unfortunately exception highlighting doesn't work for sectional track You could open the .xtc file in a texteditor, find the track piece by searching for its description or part number. That will get

Don, No - it should be that the "normal" select wont select the frozen item - but until we get the fix out the others will, I'm afraid. Several of these bugs are of long-standing, I think. Adam

We don't have this today. However, just for small radius curves, by temporarily setting the value for Layout minimum radius to be a larger value than the curves you have in mind, you will show all

I design my layouts in XtrackCad using N scale Unitrack sectional track, which offers a very wide variety of track pieces. I often want to review a layout to figure out where short radius curves are

Thanks Adam, It looks like you confirmed this behavior - is there anything you would like me to test with my file? And I did use Left-Click with Shift in my selection. Don

Following bugs found - 1) Select All - Frozen tracks were selected 2) Select with Left-Drag - Frozen tracks were selected 3) Select Connected - Frozen tracks were selected 4) When changing a layer

Don, it is supposed to be that objects on frozen layers can’t be selected (and therefore moved or rotated). It seems to be that you have found a bug that allows these to be selected. Is that Select

I'm a new XtrackCAD user and I'm trying to find a way to anchor or lock tracks in place so they cannot accidentally be moved. Running: XtrackCAD 5.1.2a on a Mac with Mojave 10.14.6 and XQuartz

If memory serves me correctly, they used small steamer like a switcher to move it around. It really all depended on what they were trying to get done,even a old 44 tonne switcher was used. Check a

How would the railroads pull a cold steamer from the roundhouse onto the turntable and get it out of the way, or insert a cold engine for repairs? Would the turn table be large enough to accommodate a
