Hi to you all, my name is mike, I live in the U.K. and have just purchased Anyrail, I am in the process of designing a large lay out with a friend, and have so far found this package easy to use, the main question is, I cannot find a way of setting out a double paralel track with a constant spacing, have I missed something or is it hiding behind something else, any help would be appreciated.

Hi Mike,

For sectional track, you need to follow the manufacturer's standard for parallel track.
For flex track, it's easy for perfect curves and straights (right click and use the special flex functions), but for free format flex track there is no function for it yet other than bending the track by hand by dragging its control points.

It's on the to do list, but it might take little while before it will be available in the software.

For this, I always have 2 points (standard hornby left-handed (or right handed, so long as they're both the same)), and 2 R600 short straights. Basically you just make a crossover, and use it to lay your flexitrack to the right length and spacing. It's not great, but it works well.
