Why dotted track when it is not hidden?

[Roberto Lodigiani]

As soon as I connect track resulting in a loop, the software dottes the track. I have placed the isolators so I will have an automatic autoreverser. I have attached a picture.

I have not found any documentation explaining this; is there one?

Also, the software places isolators automatically. No documentation on this.

The red dotted indicators are there because AnyRail is showing you this is a reverse loop.

Don't want AnyRail to show reverse loops?  Use the SHOW tab, and uncheck the 'Reverse Loops' box.

Took me a day or so to figure that out too. Reverse loop designated by red dots. Just click it on and off to see the change. I'm new to this software but can't say enough about how pleased I am with it. Kudos to AnyRail.

Here is some information on sections and isolators:

Indeed, the red dotted line indicates the shortest reverse loop.
If more than one reverse loop goes through the same part, only the shortest is displayed.
Otherwise, with one reverse loop almost everything becomes a reverse loop.

You can switch this functionality on or off on the SHOW tab.
