To create a new track part, select "Create" from the QCTrack menu. The following dialog will appear: Create.png Enter a block name for the to be created block, e.g. "MC24188" for a Maerklin C-System track with number 24188. Because the "MC24" is all the same for all compatible tracks, this informati...

To install the QCTrack extension, download the latest zip file and unpack it to the ..../qcad/scripts folder, so there exists a file ..../qcad/scripts/QCTrack/QCTrack.js in your QCad-installation. That's all. :) After a QCad restart, you should have a new menu item "QCTrack" after the "Help" item.

Attached are example libraries containing track elements (and some example plans) for Märklin H0 C-Gleis, Märklin Z miniclub and Ninco slot car tracks.

Hi there, with massive support of Andrew and many many suggestions of Husky and Clive, I wrote some scripts to ease model railroad track plannig with QCad. Please see the original thread at http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=3172 for the full story, here you'll find only the latest ve...

Thanks for the hint - I was already wondering how to send my tutorials...

@Clive: thank you for unlocking me, I will post everything in the next days presumably. I startet with the main things at viewtopic.php?f=109&t=3348

Attached is a simple example demonstrating ActivateLayer, ActivateLayerConfig and MultiPrintToPDF.

Example text on _DEFS layer for MultiPrintToPDF: print Luftbilder 297 210 @Default @Luftbild 0.0025 DINA4_1_400 Luftbild pur 0.005 DINA4_1_200 Luftbild Gelände @Default This results in a print configuration (mind the "print" keyword in the first line!) called "Luftbilder" with page size is 297x210 m...

Example text on _DEFS layer for ActivateLayerConfig: layer LargeScale NORD_VERSION/Black/0.50mm (ISO)/CONTINUOUS UMGEB_GEBAEUDE/Cyan/0.70mm (ISO)/CONTINUOUS UMGEB_GRENZE/Black/0.70mm (ISO)/CONTINUOUS This results in a layer config predef (mind the "layer" keyword in the first line!) called "LargeSca...

Example text on _DEFS layer for ActivatePredef:
This results in a layer predef called "Luftbild pur". Activating this predef, only the layers "EG_WAND", "EG_WAND_FILL" and "LUFTBILD" will be visible.

Hi there, some time ago I wrote some scripts that might be useful to others, so I want to share them here. All scripts are within a "MyTools"-folder and result in a new QCad menu called "MyTools". I admit the name is not really expressive, but I couldn't resist to call it mine. e_ugeek The following...

Finally... :D Attached is version 92 of QCTrack. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a separator in the QCTrack menu before "Show part list" in a non-hacking way. :? So I skipped it and hope that sometimes I understand how to do it the right way. :) I will send Clive this version and updated tutorials via...

Hi there,

I'm still alive... I am very busy at present and still unhappy with some details that I want to fix before I release a "final" version... I hope to have something better in a not too long time. Sorry.

@Clive, thank you - this seems the best way. I will look at some minor details and update some tutorials (perhaps something like "how to create a simple plan from scratch"). I have some more scripts that are independent of QCTrack, ready to use and perhaps useful for others. I will beautify them and...

Hi Husky, thanks again :) for your feedback. I'm sorry for not-understanding the translation issue. :( Your screenshots show the German translations - what is missing? Only the "OK" and "Abbrechen" buttons are Qt-default buttons, so they are not in the ts-files, everything else should be translated ...

Hi Clive, I'm completely open - at first, I thought this sub "script Add-On & Plug-in challenge" would be the right one, but I agree to Husky that the current thread is way too long for a "normal user" and a model railroad track planner perhaps would not look at this subforum at first. Like Husky I ...
