XtraCAD download not working
Posted by prompter on Thursday, March 16, 2006 12:57 PM
I just tried to download XtrkCAD and the download on the website (sillub.com) no longer works. Anyone know what is going on?

Thanks,
Chuck

I believe it went open source and is still available for free at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xtrkcad

The link above doesn't work either. I've been trying to grab this file for days now, and I don't know what's going on.

I found several mirror sites, but unfortunately, most are for the Linux version only. Believe it or not, there's also a Win 3.1 version but if you're on WinXP, don't even think about it. The install bombs.

I'm in desparate search for a program which utilizes KATO's UniTrack system and XtraCAD is the only free one I know of.

I've created a thread asking for help in converting a layout to KUT, but no one replied. [:(]

The last thing I want to do is rush out and buy tons of track with no design! Especially since KUT is pretty up there in cost and I'm limited to a 3'x5' space restriction.

Does anyone have an alternative? I would even be greatful if someone could tell me if using Atlas' program is a start and is easy to convert to KUT.

Thanks all! [:D]

For those having problems locating XtraCAD, send me an e-mail and I will send the file along with the registration key.

The Windows download link doesn't work. It points to a "page not found" message.
