Joined: 19/01/2005(UTC) Posts: 2 Location: ,		Hi I've just purchased WinTrack 6.1 in the hope of using it for HO and G1. Unfortunately I already have a plan that I created in another non-train related program that I want to use as a template. Does anyone know how I can import this information? I have spent a great deal of time on the other layout and am hoping to use it- at the very least as an image underlay. ANy advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Kris

Given the price of Wintrack it seems reasonable that it should at least import DXF.. I don't know Raily, but wintrack recognize each track piece as an object and manage it in its database and for 3d rendering. I think that it's the reason because it don't recognize a dxf file which is a vectorial draw and there isn't a standard common codified drawing for every track.

I think it is not so simple because there should also be a method of specifying the scale of the bitmap. By the way, you could take a look at http://www.trainplayer.com/layouts_101.htm which is a simple but effective program for layout operation simulation using jpg files as background. Nothing to do with WinTrack, but interesting anyway.
