Converting Gauge ?

Hi all,

Maybe a stupid question, but can AnyRail take say an existing 00 gauge layout, and convert it to another gauge ?

I have a nice layout all done in AnyRail in 00 that I would like to also make a N gauge layout with.

I was kind of hoping there is like a click & go option somewhere to do that ?

Cheers
Paul.

No, this is not possible as each track system has its own geometry (turnout angles, curve radius, etc).

Thanks David

I thought it was something like that.

You can of course export the plan as an image, scale it down and use it as a template.
To have an image in the background, create a rectangle and load an image onto it. Mark the rectangle as 'background'.

Thanks David,
I'll give that a go.
