Hello to all;
I am currently seriously thinking about purchasing AnyRail to create a club layout (46'x46' - L-shaped) that has numerous (26-30) angle points for the table. I have a drawing of the table I created in AutoCad. Is there any way I can import this into AnyRail? If not, can anyone guide me in the right direction as to how to create this table. My decision as to whether AnyRail will work for me hinges on the answer.

OK, everyone can stand down. After many screw ups (nothing new for me) I found the answer to my problem. The 'Line/Surface' command is the way to go, you just have to use a lot of 'Add Point'. Now I'm heading to the AnyRail site to purchase said product.

Hi Mac,

Indeed, that's the way to draw your table. And, true, this is one of most frequently asked questions! We are considering a 'create table' function that does nothing more than actually let you define the table shape and size, and effectively just draws a surface.

And, Mac, don't forget that you can lightly color the surface, just to make seeing it easy, but not dark enough to obscure anything. Also, consider putting it on a different layer than your track, so you can make it disappear at any time.
