Re: Is there a way to identify where a sectional track piece is used in a layout?
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!

Re: Is there a way to anchor a set of tracks so they cannot be moved?
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.

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

Re: Is there a way to identify where a sectional track piece is used in a layout?
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

Re: Is there a way to identify where a sectional track piece is used in a layout?
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

Re: Is there a way to identify where a sectional track piece is used in a layout?
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

Re: Is there a way to anchor a set of tracks so they cannot be moved?
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.

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

Is there a way to identify where a sectional track piece is used in a layout?
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.

Re: Is there a way to anchor a set of tracks so they cannot be moved?
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.
