\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.

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. To resize a window, either click the Zoom button

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

\u000

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

\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.

\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{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} 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}.

\u00

\dd \e{Left+Drag} - modifies an object, such as extending it.

\u00

\dd \e{Right-Click} - displays a pop-up menu of commands.

\u00

\dd \e{Shift+Right-Click} - displays a pop-up menu of command options (for some commands).

\u000

\u000

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

\u00

\dd \e{(Left+Drag)} - moves the objects or grid.

\u00

\dd \e{(Right+Drag)} - rotates the objects or grid about the pivot point, which is
the point you started the drag operation.

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