working with layers

Post by asongsmith »

I have been working with one layer only, separate file, for the sole purpose of developing a switch yard that works with a three layer lay out that I have been developing. There is an empty location in the three layer, to place it.

How do I export/import the switch yard, to marry it to the three layer file.

Thank you

I'm a relative newbie and don't want to manually rebuild a combination of the two.

also: through my search of other subjects, I am steered to The User Control Panel and radio something button. When I use "User Control Panel" in all of the RailModeller Pro search options I get something like, that term does not exist. I was trying to figure out what a "signature" was, and would I want to use one.

Thanks again

Hi there,
How do I export/import the switch yard, to marry it to the three layer file.
There's no need to, really.

You can just copy and paste the tracks from one layout to the other;
either individual tracks (drag and drop between the two layouts also works just fine) or alternatively the entire layer:

An entire layer including all its elements can also be copied using the contextual menu in the layer list. The copy can then be inserted into the same or a different layout.
(User Guide, "Layers" section)


Hope this helps,
