Layers and baseboards, and adding track to layout
Posted: 28 Dec 2021, 15:34
Hello; apologies for a newbie asking 2 daft laddie questions/issues. I'm trying to begin my first layout design using this software. So far I've added a baseboard, the size of a folding wooden wallpaper pasting table, which I'll be using as the base for my model layout.
1) Does a baseboard "behave" the same way as a layer in this software? Is it necessary to add a baseboard to the draft, or can you just work with a layer with the same dimensions?
or. is there any need to add a baseboard?
2) I tried 6 times to click and drag track components to the baseboard area (seemed the most logical way to add them) but all I got was the 'No Entry' symbol, and an Error sound. The padlocks of both layer 1 and my baseboard are unlocked.
Please could someone advise how to add elements to the layout? I'd be very grateful, as there's no guidance at all on how to do this in the online Help...
Thanks for reading this far; grateful for any advice.
Cheers
Tim
