\C{navigation} Navigation

The Main Window includes a title bar along the top that describes the contents of the window, followed by a tool bar that contains user interface buttons. Most of the window's remaining area is used to display the layout. A footer border contains information including system messages. 

Most windows can be opened, closed, resized, minimized, and moved around the screen. The close, minimize, and zoom buttons are located on the right side of the title bar. Minimizing a window will close the contents of the window, but store a reference to it in the Task bar. Closing a window will make it disappear completely (so you may be asked to save your changes first). To move a window, click on the title bar and drag the window where you want it.

The toolbar buttons size can be adjusted using a User Preference in the .ini or .rc file 
(on Windows or Mac/Linux) in the xtrkcad directory.  
If running Linux or Mac
a line \c{"Preference.LargeIcons: 1.5"} can be added. The scale value can be from 1.0 to 2.0 only.
The corresponding configuration Windows would be

\c        [Preference]
\c           LargeIcons=1.5

\e{Note} The configuration file uses the language specific definitions for the decimal separator.
Eg. in Germany, where the comma is used,  the correct value would be\c{LargeIcons=1,5}.

\dd \G{png.d/maincanvas.png} 

\u000

\dd Main drawing area with rulers along each side.

\u000

\dd The \f{Main Canvas} is where all tracks and objects (and optional background image) are drawn.

\u000

\dd The \f{Background Image} is drawn on the main canvas if specified in the \K{cmdLayout} menu.

\u000

\dd The center of the \f{Main Canvas} can be moved (Panned) using the; 

\lcont{

\b ARROW Keys

\b Left-Click and drag in \K{cmdZoom} 

\b "@" key in \f{Select}, \f{Modify} and \f{Pan/Zoom}.

\b Mouse Wheel - adding \e{Shift} key or the \e{Mouse Middle Button} will Pan the screen. adding \e{Ctrl} as well makes up Pan left and down Pan right.

\b Horizontal Mouse Wheel - adding \e{Shift} or the \e{Mouse Middle Button} will Pan the screen left and Right (if available)

\b Scroll Left and Right - if the scroll left and right guestures are mapped to the trackpad by the operating system, with \e{Shift} depressed the screen will Pan.

}

\dd The \f{Main Canvas} can be panned so that the area beyond the room boundaries is shown (the \f{grey} area).  The \f{Constrain Drawing Area to Room Boundaries} option on the \f{Display} (\K{cmdDisplay}) dialog under the \f{Options} (\K{optionM}) menu forces the \f{Main Canvas} stop panning once the room boundary is reached.
Holding the \e{Control} key while panning will invert the value of this setting. 

\u000

\dd The scale of the \f{Main Canvas} can be changed using the;

\lcont{

\b \f{Zoom} selections (\K{cmdZoom}) under the \f{View} (\K{viewM}) menu

\b \f{Zoom} buttons on the \f{Tool-bar}

\b Mouse Wheel

\b PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys

\b \f{Pan/Zoom} \K{cmdPan} button on the \f{Tool-bar}

\f{Note:} If The scale 1:1 is reached, "Macro Zoom" mode can be entered using CTRL+PageDown - with repeated presses a scale of 10::1 is possible. 

}

\dd When \f{Zooming}, the Main Canvas will retain the center of the display if 
\f{Constrain Drawing Area to Room Boundaries} is not set.
Otherwise, as much of the room as possible is displayed, and any \f{grey} area will be to the right and above the room.

\u000
 
\dd Tracks will be drawn with two lines and ties if you zoom in. When the drawing scale is 1:1 a dashed centerline is also drawn for each track.

\u000

\dd The ARROW keys move the \f{Canvas} left, right, up or down by half a screen. If Shift is used together with the arrow keys, the movement will be 1/20th of screen in the selected direction.

\u000

\dd In many commands, the result that will result from clicking the mouse is shown by \e{anchors} which highlight the track object or feature in blue that will be affected as the mouse is dragged over the canvas and becomes close enough to select it.

\u000

\dt \e{Map Window}

\dd \G{png.d/map.png}

\u000

\dd You can change which portion of the layout is displayed by using the \f{Map Window} (\K{cmdMap}).

\H{generaloperation} General Operation \I{Dialogs}

Most Windows open with three standard dialog buttons:

\dd \f{Cancel} - Cancels dialog. Layout reverts back to its previous state.

\u000

\dd \f{Help} - Invokes on-line help for current command or dialog.

\u000

\dd \f{OK} - Completes the dialog action. Layout is updated with current changes.

\rule


\S{enterValue} \i{Entering Values}

Lengths and Distances can be entered in a variety of formats;

\dd \e{12ft 4 1/2in, 12' 4.5", 148.500, 1.234m, 123.4cm or 1234mm} are all valid values.

\u000

\dd Adding the Equal Sign (\c{=}) key after an entry will reformat the value entered to your preferred length format (\K{cmdPref}).

\u000

\dd Adding the "\c{p}" key after an entry will convert a prototype measurement to a scale measurement by dividing the value entered by the ratio for the current scale.

\u000

\dd Adding the "\c{s}" key after an entry will convert a scale measurement to a prototype measurement.

The conversion will happen when the \e{Tab} key is used, or the cursor is moved to a different entry box.

\rule

\S{cmdMap} \i{Map Window}

\G{png.d/map.png}

The \e{Map Window} area shows the complete layout at a reduced scale.  A highlighted (reverse video) area shows what portion is visible in the Main Window (\K{mainW}).  The highlighted area can be Left+Dragged (\K{windowTerms}) around the layout to change the origin of the Main Canvas.  The highlighted area changes size as Zoom In (\K{viewM}) and Zoom Out (\K{viewM}) are selected.

You can also Right+Drag (\K{windowTerms}) on the Map window to set the origin and scale of the Main Canvas.

The size of the \e{Map Window} changes when you change the Room Size (see \K{cmdLayout}).  You can also change the Map Scale (\K{cmdDisplay}) on the Display (\K{cmdDisplay}) dialog to change the size of the \e{Map Window}.

If you close the \e{Map Window}, you can reopen it by the \e{Window} menu.

Visibility of the \e{Map Window} can be toggled by pressing \e{Ctrl+Space}

\rule


\H{kbshortcuts} \i{Keyboard Shortcuts} \I{Shortcut Keys}

The term Shortcut key refers to specific key combinations which are used to accomplish an action which otherwise would be accomplished by moving a MOUSE and /or selecting from a Menu. Shortcut keys are often key combinations consisting of the letter key pressed along with the Alt or Ctrl key.

Instead of using the menus or the buttons on the \f{Tool-bar} (\K{mainW}), most \e{XTrackCAD} commands may be invoked through use of Shortcut keys.

\dd The \c{RETURN} key has the same effect as pressing the \f{OK} button on the current dialog.

\u000

\dd The \c{ESCAPE} key cancels the current command.  All selected tracks are unselected.  The \f{Properties} (\K{cmdDescribe}) or \f{Select} (\K{cmdSelect}) command becomes the current command.

\u000

\dd The \c{F1} key opens the Help page for the currently selected command. \c{Shift+F1} opens the Contents Help Page.

\u000

\dd The \c{PAGE UP} and \c{PAGE DOWN} keys will zoom out or zoom in.

\u000

\dd The \c{ARROWS} key will pan the canvas right, left, up and down.

\u000

\dd The \c{DELETE} or the \c{BackSpace} key invokes the \f{Delete} (\K{cmdDelete}) command.

Several Shortcut key commands are used in conjunction with the mouse. These commands are listed in \K{cmdAcclKeys}.

\H{cmdAcclKeys} \i{Mouse Actions}

\e{XTrackCAD} uses the left and right mouse buttons when manipulating tracks and other objects on the layout.  Their meaning depends on the particular command:

\e{Select Command}

The \e{Select} command actions are affected by the mode selected in \f{Options->Command->Select}.  
Note - Objects in a Module Layer are selected and deselected as a group.

\dt \e{Left-Click}
 
\dd Single Item Mode -> Selects one object at a time, deselects other objects. 
Add Item Mode -> Adds unselected objects, deselects if the object is already selected.
If the click is on an area without objects and \f{SelectZero} is set, all objects are deselected.

\dt \e{Shift-Left-Click} 

\dd Selects all connected tracks from the one clicked up to the next selected item in each direction.

\dt \e{Ctrl+Left-Click} 

\dd Single Item Mode -> Adds an object to the selection, deselects if the object is already selected. 
Add Item Mode -> Selects just this item and deselects other objects.
If the click is on an area without objects and \f{SelectZero} is set, all objects are deselected.

\dt \e{Double-Left-Click} 

\dd Opens Modify for Cornu and Draw Objects other than Text, Activates Link and Document Notes, otherwise opens Describe.

\dt \e{Left+Drag} 

\dd Single Item Mode -> Selects all objects in an rubber-banded area and deselects all others. 
Add Item Mode -> Adds items in the rubber-banded area.  

\dt \e{Shift+Left-Drag} 

\dd Moves selected objects if in a selected area, if off selected objects, like Left-Drag.

\dt \e{Ctrl+Left-Drag} 

\dd Rotates selected objects if in a selected area, if off selected objects, like Left-Drag. 

\dt \e{Right-Click} 

\dd Displays a pop-up menu of context commands (in Select, Move, Modify and Rotate commands). If some track is selected, the menu has operations to perform on it, if not, it will have a command context menu.

\dt \e{Shift+Right-Click} 

\dd Displays a pop-up menu of commands.  Displays the other context menu than Right-Click.

\dt \e{Right+Drag} 

\dd Deselects all objects in an rubber-banded area from the current set.

\dt \e{Rotate Wheel} 

\dd Zooms drawing area in and out.  Modern computers with Trackpads often map this guesture to two-finger drag.

\e{When Moving and Rotating} ( Placing Turnouts and Structures, Moving the Print and Snap Grids, ... ):

\dt \e{(Shift+Left+Drag)} 

\dd Moves the objects or grid.

\dt \e{(Ctrl+Left+Drag)} 

\dd Rotates the objects or grid about the pivot point, which is the point you started the drag operation.

Some other commands use the \c{Shift} or \c{Ctrl} key to modify the meaning of button presses.

\rule

\S{mouseBcmd} Context Sensitive Menus

For all commands listed below, a \e{Right-Click} will display a context sensitive pop-up command list menu.  For some commands (noted below), a \e{Shift+Right-Click} will display a context sensitive pop-up command options menu.
