Hi David.

I have started working on my N Scale plans (see image) and have hit a snag.

Basically, bits occasionally fall outside the board and cannot then be accessed unless one zooms right out (and then only for the right and bottom edges of the layout).  In my case, that is 1:25 and, at that diminution, it is virtually impossible to see/highlight an errant piece of track or bezier point.

I was wondering if the application could emulate desktop publishing programs where the working area is surrounded by a margin (pasteboard) that can be used to hold spare items etc. and that this margin would be able to be accessed at all zoom levels. Maybe a flag to switch from the current arrangement to centring the layout?

Still have problems with gradients, btw! And now I can add (both single and parallel) curves that require more than one length of flexitrack.

With best wishes,
Chris.

Chris, often I open a second AnyRail window and use that as a copy/paste board. It works very nice, you can have diffent scales on both windows, prepare parts of a construction and copy/paste that to the main window.

Maybe, for the time being, a usefull workaround.
