Bill, There was quite a bit of work done on resizing in V5.2, and while I would not say it is perfect, but it has improved a lot - especially for large layouts have the worst of it because (as you sug

We are in transition this week between a Beta 3.0 and a GA (where we are waiting on Linux builds - hopefully by this weekend). For now, Beta 3.0 is here - https://sourceforge.net/projects/xtrkcad-fork

This parameter override scheme was set up as Gauge/Scale specific (and not by track piece) many years ago and "ties" in XtrkCAD were never described as accurate. The fact that it has not been an issue

Couple of pointers about Update Turnouts and Structures - 1) The names must match. If you updated the label of the turnout or structure - it will fail to find it 2) The endpoint count and their positi

Bill, Glad you got going - now you just have the bugs to contend with! Users have found a couple of good ones, so once we have them fixed, we will get to a Beta 3.1 out. Adam

Quite right, just Beta 3.0 so far. I think you mean "Track Elevations" not "End-Point Elevations". Yes, there seems to be a problem with location of the Cornu track elevation (and I suspect the Bezier

Let me restate, We don’t have drag and drop in the way users expect and we have never had. Drag and drop means you click on an object in one place and drag (without releasing) onto another part of the
