FasTrack Cheat Sheet

This is terrific--thank you!

Thanks, Larry. Am certain this will come in handy and be well used by not only myself but many visitors to this forum too.

A big help...thanks

Excellent! Question though...how'd you do the ruler thing on anyrail? Is there some kind of ruler to drag down to size those occasional gaps that won't join?...I currently have the trial version of anyrail but the 50pc max thing is bugging me, tired of swapping out 3' straights and flex track to regain spare pieces before max count.{I know- pony up the money tightwad!} 

Glad it's useful.  Yes, I have the "paid" version. In this version there is a menu item to insert a ruler.  The default ruler is 24 inches which can be changed to any length.  I typically position the ruler in the gap between pieces and change the ruler length until the ends touch the edge of the pieces.  I usually need to magnify the layout to zoom in on the ruler.  It seems to be pretty accurate.  After I have the length, I refer to the chart to get the right  combination of pieces.

Excellent!

XTrkCad provides a ruler utility where you click on the first point and then drag the ruler to the other point.  It can be used in any orientation/angle.

Thanks! The cheat sheet will be very helpful for me.

Thank you very much for sharing your great work! I will put this to good use with my AnyRail software and it will save me countless time!

You're welcome!  That's what I like about this forum... People sharing ideas, tips, etc..

Happy railroading!

RR-Track also has a ruler for both general and track-to-track measurements. For T2T, select tool, left-click on track, hold, mover cursor to other track and let go. Cursor doesn't have to be on end of track, so it's super simple. Tracks can already be joined, it will still measure the distance, so if you have a 5.4, 4.5, 1.75, 1.25, it will quickly tell you what that all adds up to.
