Use the Settings tab to change the overall settings of the software.
AnyRail remembers settings between sessions, but also saves them with each layout.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Measurement system | Choose from cm, mm, inches with fractions or decimals |
| Decimals | Set the display accuracy of all values |
| Length | The length of the work area on screen. Make it somewhat larger than your train table |
| Width | The width of the work area on screen. Make it somewhat larger than your train table |
| Grid | Show a grid with a Size, possibly in the Background |
| Endpoint | The drawing size of an endpoint. An endpoint is the outer end of a piece of track |
| Connection | The drawing size of a connection. The connection is the circle denoting that two pieces of track are connected |
| Control point | The drawing size of the control points. These are the points to manipulate flex track and lines |
| Minimum radius 1 | Radius 1 used for determining when Flex too sharp curves triggers, indicated by a red centerline |
| Minimum radius 2 | Radius 2, 0 (inactive) or larger than radius 1, indicated by an orange centerline |
| Minimum radius 3 | Radius 3, 0 (inactive) or larger than radius 2, indicated by a yellow centerline |
| Distance | The maximum distance allowed allowed between connecting endpoints |
| Angle | The maximum angle allowed between connecting endpoints |
| Maximum % | The maximum percentage allowed on slopes |
| Min. vertical clearance | The minimum vertical distance allowed for track crossings |
| Autoconnect | Automatically connect track when endpoints are close enough |
| Distance | The minimum distance to make Autoconnect trigger |
| Allow mixed rails | When checked, any track with the same gauge will connect. Uncheck to make sure you use the correct transition track |
| Snap to grid | Makes lines and surfaces snap to an underlying grid with Size. The left upper point of the line or surface is aligned with the grid |
