Wayne,
Suggest you ask over at JMRI group https://www.jmri.org/community/connections/XtrkCadReader/index.shtml or developer group https://github.com/JMRI/XTrkCadReader. -- Dwyane Ward

xTrkCADReader and blocks
Wayne Miller
I have generated an xtc file and submit it to xTRKCADReader with -sb 100 option to have block numbers start at 101 but the program always generates the output xml file with block numbers starting at 1. What am I doing incorrectly?

Re: 5.22GA - where are the .xti templates now? NTRAK especially
Oh my, my Forgettory must have let me down. I thought there was always an XTI folder in under the /xtrkcad/share folder alongside the params. I have created the first ntrack4 xti so it can be imported but it then has to be UnGrouped so that turnouts and other amendments have to be made to it. I have made some clips demonstrating the Import and UnGrouping process. They (all 16) will be up on my YouTube channel in the next couple of days. By the way, that NTRAK4 file included in the Examples is so old... how old... so old that it comes from version 2.11 dated 1998! The track outlines are so totally different! It loads in our current version and can be manipulated just fine but it looks just so different. Maybe we need to look for the older files and bring them a little more up-to-date before we put them into the Examples folder?

It easy enough to turn the ntrak*.xtc into .xti:
Load each one, select all, export The xtc files have every thing in a layer-module so you might want to turn that off so you can modify them Also, as I'm mentioned else where, the tracks have Bridge turned on (versioning problem) so you have to turn that off as well Dave

ntrak4.xtc, ntrak6.xtc. and ntrak8.xtc.Ian, I do not believe the development team has started incorporating "XTI" module files into the install yet. As for N Scale TTrak files, only Jim Nealand Module file has been incorporated into the install, that was back at version 4.0.3a. There has been other files here in the groups.IO file section by different individuals, but none incorporated into the install. -- Dwyane Ward

5.22GA - where are the .xti templates now? NTRAK especially
Over the years I have used and created dozens of XTI files and I recall that there used to be a stack of templates included with the Downloaded Installation files. Is it only happening on my system or do we no longer include any XTI files with a Download? I have just re-downloaded the latest version as well as gone back through a couple of older versions. No XTI folder nor files showing up. The other day, from the Help -->> Examples page I found 3 NTRAK example files but they were Read-Only XTC files, not XTI; ntrak4.xtc, ntrak6.xtc. and ntrak8.xtc. Don't we have any importable modules for NTRAK?

Re: Where do I download the "track libraries" from?
Dave Bullis
XTrkCad is designed to mimic pencil and paper (with some additional features)
So imagine you have a piece of paper the size of your layout, with a specified width and height. The width is the 'maximum X value' and height is the 'maximum Y value' The balloon help for the Width and Height fields says 'Specifies the size of the room (in inches or centimeters)'

Re: Where do I download the "track libraries" from?
Robert Heller
Rule of thumb: "height" is this case is height and width refer to *screen*
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
height and width (max "y", and max "x"). XtrakCAD is a 2D CAD system, viewed from a spot on your layout room's ceiling (a "bird's eye view"). *Elevation* is "height" of the track from the "ground level" of the layout. "Subways" will have negative elevation. Elevated track will have positive elevation. Elevation is the Z axis, which is in line with your "viewpoint".

Height is actually the front to back dimension of the layout vs
the width, which is the side to side dimension. A little confusing
terminology I know.

Re: Do XTrackCAD and JMRi play well together
ac917@...
There is a converter on JMRI website: https://www.jmri.org/community/connections/CommunityConnectionsIndex.shtml Relatively easy. Sometimes creates miniscule track sections that are hard to select in JMRI Layout Editor. Anyrail and others are also supported.

Do XTrackCAD and JMRi play well together
Tim Kelley <tim.kelley@...>
Good morning,
So I've decided to use XTrackCAD to design my model railroad layout. Is there a way to "export" my layout and then "import" that layout into JMRI? Is it easy to do? Impossible? Thanks, --Tim

Thanks guys! Found out 5.2.1 also does the nested layer stuff. Guess that I just missed it. Upgraded to 5.2.2 anyhow.

I use layers 1-10 for the general stuff like room dimensions and basic benchwork 11-20 for all the staging drawings 21-30 for level 1 track plan, elevations, scenic planning, electrical plans 31-40 for level 2 track plan, elevations, etc. 41-50 for templates of favorite track snips, general signal notes, CMRI I/O, etc. When I need more space for notes I'll use 51-60. Just use good names for each layer, is all. Turn on the ones you want to see at one time, turn off the others. It's worked great for me Allison

#1.)
I clicked on Files / Parameter Files / Library The really good news is I found "Peco North American Code 83 HO Scale Turnouts". The BAD news is I did NOT find "Peco North American Code 83 HO Scale Streamline Track". Anybody know where I can find that? #2.) In Options / Layout what is meant by "Height"? What do i put in that field? Thanks ---Tim
