On flex-track, you can flip the turnout by moving the cursor from one side of the track centerline to the other. On another turnout, the new turnout will be placed at the endpoint closest to the cursor. \e{XTrackCAD} will automatically connect the turnout's endpoints to any other tracks they are aligned with. The number of endpoints that will be connected is displayed on the Status Bar, as well as the Maximum displacement between these endpoints and the tracks they will be connected to. \e{XTrackCAD} will adjust the position of the Turnout to give you the best fit for locating the turnout. You can override this adjustment by holding down the \e{Shift} key while \e{Dragging}. -- cgit v1.2.3
