2.3 Draw Menu

Draw commands are used to draw lines, arcs and other shapes. These can be used to represent water edges, bridges and other scenic features.

There are 4 command buttons on the tool-bar used to draw Straight Objects, Curved Lines, Circles and other Shapes. Each command button is followed by a button that changes the action (and Icon) on the command button.

Functions for drawing basic shapes and objects like lines and curves can be accessed from this menu.

Circle Lines - draw empty or filled circles.

Curved Lines - are created in the same manner as curved tracks.

Note - attach a note icon to a specific location on the layout.

Ruler - create ruler and set visibility (Section 2.3.4)

Shapes - draw boxes and poly-lines.

Straight Objects - draw straight objects.

Text - allows entry of text directly onto the layout.

Some commands display controls on the Status Line (Section 3.1) to change line width, color or other attributes of the object.
