[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by gchenier [quote] You need to measure turnout frog angles and lengths if not already known, then create the pattern for your CAD to use. Not a big deal, but no built-in 'library' of track sections etc until you build your own CAD models of them. Gives the freedom of cutting rail to exact length required for any configuration. [/quote] I am very proficient at AutoCAD 2000 and many times I have started designing my layout on it. I have run into the same problem though: the components. I would think that with all the people using AutoCAD for their layouts, there would be components prebuilt on the web somewhere for download. Otherwise, my problem is, where can I find the measurements for the components? Do I just need to get one and then measure it all out? Also, if you want to share your templates, maybe I can offer something in return... Thanks, Ken
