Automatic turnout crossover and yard function

[railroads2005]

A couple other railroad cad programs have this feature. For crossovers you select the turnout type (i.e. #8 left) and the rail center spacing (1.e 2.5") and the program puts in the appropriate short track in the crossover.

In the yard ladder it works the same basically, you select the turnout type (i.e #6 left), the track spacing (i.e. 2"), the number of tracks on the ladder (i.e 6) and the minimum radius of the final track (i.e 30") and it inserts the short pieces of track between the turnouts to give the proper spacing and adjusts the radius of the final track to get the proper spacing.

This work like a charm and saves oodles if time doing crossovers and yard ladders.
