I am having problems with the path editor feature of Track Viewer. Until a few days ago this worked as expected. Now, whatever I try, I cannot bring up the commands to "take another exit" and "place reversal point". This happens both in editing existing routes and creating new routes and on all routes. Can anyone assist?

I sometimes stumble over the Take another exit function -- I forget you have to go one track past the switch before it will appear in your context specific list. I dunno but the same may be true of the Place reverse point function too.

No that is not the problem. It is a very unusual situation. I have not been able to add reversal points today and most of yesterday. A short while ago I was able to add them at an area I have being using as a test location. Now I cannot add them there (or anywhere) again. They just do not appear in the pop-up menu.

This doesn't have anything to do with the recent change in open rails regarding reversal points, does it?

Is Track Viewer stand-alone or does it read information from the main Open Rails installation? Can anyone answer this question?

All works normal here, just made a new short path with placing reverse points and take another exit both both selectable from the menu when required.

I did the following:

Created a new path, RPs can be placed in the first section

Chose "take other exit" at the first point/switch - no problem - RPs can still be selected

Ran through a trailing point/switch

Hit Page up

A RP cannot be added in the track after the trailing point/switch

"take other exit" can be chosen at the next point/switch and RP is active



I see that the blue selection circle is not present when I select location in the track section where I cannot place a reverse point.

Can anyone offer any assistance?

I have just made a path through a series of facing and trailing points and have had no problem with placing reverse points anywhere. In fact I started my path through a trailing point.

Hi
I know this was an old topic, but was anything solved?
The reason being, that I had created a path using track viewer. No problem doing this. All worked as expected.
Whist doing a timetable I needed to alter the path to take in another station. However, after loading the path and then selecting edit path I am unable to get take other exit to show at the set of points I need to use. I have tried ending the path before the points, removing the end point and taking the path past the points but no alternative exit is available. If I start a new path further down the line and draw the path and get to the points in question, then I can select the other exit. It just seems to be with the path editing.
Anyone any idea besides redoing the whole path?
Thanks
Peter

Just to add that I have remade the path from the start and it allowed me to take the exit into the station. Must be something to do with editing that caused the problem.
