XTrakCad Question
Posted by claymore1977 on Thursday, July 12, 2007 10:00 AM

Hey guys, I am getting my butt whipped by something probably simple.

 

I cant get elevations to work.

I make a new layout (File Menu -> New) & lay some atlas track pieces.  Thehelp files state that I should beable to select a peice of track, then Comands Menu -> Elevation and set the elevation... but every time I try this, all the options in the Elevation Dialog Box are Greyed out.

...Help?!?  This is diving me insane!

I haven't used that function in a while. Did you select the track first?

I think Chip has it.  When you first bring up the elevation dialog, it is all grey, select the track and it goes active.
