My "Export" and "Export DFX" selection under "File" are grayed out and not working.


I did download and I am using v4.2.2A.

Answer by Robert Polubinski

I've tested what you've said and it appears that the Export and Export DFX are indeed not available. I've even loaded a sample file with all the data and tried to export, but had no luck. If you consult the Help file, there are instructions regarding the available ways to export.


However, you should contact the developer using the following link: [email protected]

I downloaded XTrackCAD. When I opened the parameter files it was empty. Is there a way to load the library? Also is there a way to show terrain elevations and slopes?

Answer by Aiden McLeod

To load the available parameter files, you need to open the program, go to File > Parameter Files (or press the Ctrl + Alt + S key combination) and go to the following location : C:\Program Files \XTrkCAD 4.0.3a\share\xtrkcad\params. This is the default path where the program is installed. From the mentioned location, you will be able to select and load the available parameter files (this is available for the latest version of the program. You can download it from the official website.)


Regarding the terrain elevation, the program has an option for this and you can access it by going to Change > Elevations (or press the Ctrl + Shift + E key combination). For additional support, check the Help menu of the application. There are available tutorials about all the program's features.

Yes, you can expand your layout without any problems. After you opened the interface, look through the Menu Bar and you will see the a button that says Options. Select the Layout button or press Ctrl+Alt+A. A pop-up windows will appear and all you need to do to expand your layout is change the value from Room Width and Room Height. You can also use your mouse scroll to zoom out/in.
