Scheduled for major update 6.5
An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Status Update:
Commencing the modification of all 270 track libraries to specify the 'mirror' component for every turnout, laying the foundation for the soon-to-arrive 'Flip Layout' capability.
An error occurred while saving the comment We’re planning to make this functionality available once our new library editor - with the ability to mark up counter-parts of elements (left <-> right switch) & currently under heavy construction - has been completed!
An error occurred while saving the comment A mirror function would indeed be nice.
But such a function is not so trivial as it may seem:Currently there's no way for the program to know that switch A has to be replaced with switch B, the right handed variant, to obtain a properly mirrored track section.
However, the new library editor currently under development will allow to flag parts as mirror parts/pairs that would enable such a feature in the future!

Thanks for the suggestion! -

An error occurred while saving the comment Baseboards now snap to other baseboards on their respective cornerpoints for easier alignment of multiple baseboards
An error occurred while saving the comment A dedicated point editor for entering precise coordinates of baseboard corner points will be included in the next major update.
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the feedback!
In the short term we're also planning to enable editing the individual coordinates of baseboards (as well as lines, polys, ..), which might also help getting precise baseboard shapes.

An error occurred while saving the comment Two precision settings for 1/16 and 1/32 sound like a reasonable default!
An error occurred while saving the comment Copy that! A switch to toggle between different precisions might be useful.
An error occurred while saving the comment When working on construction projects with imperial units, is it common to work with a 1/16 'resolution'?
To my understanding you're effectively limited to a precision of ~1,6 millimeters.

Scheduled for major update 6.5
An error occurred while saving the comment Also include some visual feedback to indicate the snapped state when dragging tracks
An error occurred while saving the comment Most tools will provide better feedback, dedicated cursors and previews with the upcoming, major update (v6.5)

To be added to the Search feature in an upcoming update
An error occurred while saving the comment That would be the request - i.e. a new feature to change track while keeping position, elevation, grade, color, layer, etc.
An error occurred while saving the comment Replace should offer
• for tracks: All tracks of the same type with identical length and/or radius
• for all other elements: Any element of the same typeOptionally the list of available replacements could be filtered by the user to restrict it to elements of the same model scale (or gauge) - only if desired, though. Switching model scales should be possible (useful accessories, symbols, ..)
An error occurred while saving the comment Unfortunately, different vendors use a different track geometry (lengths, radii,
different turnout angles and lengths, ...).
The same applies even to different scale offerings for the same manufacturer, so I'm afraid no automatic mapping is possible between tracks.An error occurred while saving the comment Update 6.4 adds search for layouts (https://www.railmodeller.com/news/railmodeller-pro-6-4-search-point-editor-improved-touch-bar-support.html) -
An upcoming update will enhance the search feature with replace functionality.
An error occurred while saving the comment Definitely planned -
a search/replace feature across layouts, stock and track libraries is scheduled for the near future! -

An error occurred while saving the comment Euler spiral segments could be approximated with a cubic Bezier curve -
a new parametric flex track in addition to the straight and curved types could be an option to offer track transition curves -

An error occurred while saving the comment The color should be further customizable to also allow full-white (as it is already the case when printing the layout) for those who prefer it.

An error occurred while saving the comment Two modes:
- Anchor point selector
- Joint selector, A/B (plain tracks)Compare 'Transform panel' in Affinity products, e.g.
https://affinity.help/publisher/English.lproj/pages/Panels/transformPanel.htmlAn error occurred while saving the comment Position by anchor can be useful in certain cases but it's probably not a very commonly used feature.
Would a positioning popup help, that could be invoked via the contextual menu of an element (or the menu bar)? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Dependencies:
- Requires path information for non-trivial tracks in track libraries
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the feedback!
While that would be great to have it would also be quite a lot of work.
However, such functionality could be added as a dedicated, similarly priced new app! -

An error occurred while saving the comment So basically this would boil down to
- Selecting a curve track radius
- Selecting a switch
- Performing a variation of the 'Close Gap' function for both straight segments(gray in attached image)
Could be interesting if there's enough traction for this idea in the user base.

An error occurred while saving the comment Sounds like a great idea, though it's more complicated if you think about it in more detail -
The app can give you the optimal number of flex tracks that need to be purchased, but you'd then have an amazing puzzle at your hand figuring out how to cut the flex tracks into pieces and where the individual pieces would go on your layout..
I.e. just providing a number (minimum number of flex tracks) unfortunately isn't a satisfactory solution.
Having said that, we're thinking about a pragmatic approach! -

Filtering the library catalog by favorite elements or elements in stock is on the to-do list!
An error occurred while saving the comment Recent versions add the ability to filter the Library Catalog to only include items present in the stock
An error occurred while saving the comment This will be part of the custom library sorting feature
An error occurred while saving the comment ..that would make sense for favorite *libraries*, right?
My understanding is that this request is about favorite *elements* withing a library.
Kinda like a stock for parts you don't necessarily own (yet). -

We’re planning to add presets for baseboards – user created or ready-made presets bundled with the app – to the baseboard assistant.
Presets for various T-Trak modules as well as commercial vendors (e.g. www.modelrailroadbenchwork.com) would then be offered to e.g. insert a T-Trak single-module with 2-3 clicks!

An error occurred while saving the comment Basically print just a smaller section of the entire track plan;

An error occurred while saving the comment User Comment ( Aug 5, 2019 ):
Eine einfache Straßenerstellung mittels Bezier-Kurve + Angabe der Straßenbreite. Gerne auch mit Farbauswahl und wenn noch Luft ist, mit und ohne Mittelstreifen (auswählbar).

Should also include mirroring of baseboard geometry.
Potentially flip images in the layout as well.
