2.2.7.6 Using Straight Flex-Track

This method of joining track may be used where the endpoints of the two tracks to be joined are on the same horizontal (X) or vertical (Y) axis.

  1. Start the join process by clicking on the Join button ().

  2. Left-Click the endpoint of one of the two tracks being joined. A red dot will appear as a reminder of which track has been selected.

  3. Move the mouse pointer over the endpoint of the other track then Left-Click. A track connecting the two endpoints will appear.

When this command is used to join;

Any tracks created during the Join command will have the following properties inherited from the first track: selected state, hidden state, scale, track gauge and Layer.

Turnouts and Sectional (Section 2.7) tracks can be joined to other tracks. XTrackCAD extends the selected endpoint with a straight track when making the connection.

A Turntable (Section 2.1.9) can be joined however it must be used as the second endpoint for normal easements but can be connected to either end with Cornu.
