greetings Charlie i find it helpful to begin by setting the footprint of the whole space that is available for the trackplan as being 1 foot (using standard rather than metric as being here in the USofA) wider and longer than that space. then set the grid for 12" and the snap to grid to the smallest that you wish to detail. if you add more width or length it will always add it to the right and bottom and your grid coorindates in the upper left will always be at 12, 12 (inches). i also find it helpful to make an outline of the space noting all doors, closets, windows, and unavailable space in the room. that way you have a good visual to work with. keeping this as a standard helps getting oriented to the software and diminishes the learning curve as things come together rather well from that point forward. i hope you will find AR to be as helpful as i have. peace, Gary L Lake Dillensnyder
I've used Cadrail for years and I love it. I use it not only for track and track planning, but for designing benchwork, cabinets, home improvement and repair and designing weapons-mountable night vision and surveillance instruments. I'm not joking.
Yes.. Cadrail for me, too... Very powerful and flexible; auto-trim, and auto-align, spirals. Payware that's worth it.. just a bit of a learning curve.
