Xtrkcad

[Paul23]

Anyone using xtrkcad? How do I use it? Where are the demos? How do I contact them? Have been on their website(what a joke) and none of their emails work. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with XTrkCAD, but have played around with the trial versions (free) of AnyRail and SCARM. There are limitations to both in the free versions. The prices aren't too bad if you want to unlock the full versions. And the trial versions will handle track plans for most home layouts.

When my repair shop was open, I was asked for help with layout issues so man times I finally broke down and purchased a copy of RR-Track, and over they years just about all of it's track libraries. I find it suits my needs and is pretty straight forward to use.

Of the three track planning prtracograms I currently have, Xtrkcad is the least intuitive. They all have their flaws and drawbacks though.

There is an Xtrkcad group on Groups Io that should be able to answer your questions on using it.
