Creating an Area from Selection
As soon as you have selected several items (left image) or an area (right image) as described on the pre-
vious page, other options previously greyed out can be activated in the drop-down menu for the button
(„Track Diagram/ Area"): „Create area from selection", „Move selection onto TDCB section", and „Copy
selection onto TDCB section".
You must have selected an area in order
to create an area. In this example, we are
creating an area from the two-dimensional
station that has been selected (see left
image). To do this, open the corresponding
drop-down menu with a tap of your finger on
the button „Track Diagram/ Area" and select
„Create area from selection" there. Give the
area a name in the entry template that is
turned on, select its color, and confirm with
„Ok".
After that, the section selected is perma-
nently marked in the color selected. All
items in an area are easy to recognize in the
item list too thanks to the color.
Deleting an area is also very simple: Tap
on the area name in the left upper corner
of the area when you are in the activated
track diagram edit mode. Select the option
„Delete" in the window that is then opened
as an overlay.
Moving and Copying a Selection onto a TDCB Section
With this function, you can get
a larger overview on more com-
plex layouts, copy a selection to
a new board (upper right image),
or move a selection to a new
board (right image). The new
board was named „Maerklin
Station".
Your layout is thereby spread
over two boards, but the two
boards remain logically linked
with each other – nothing
changes in the function. The
transitions between the two
boards are symbolized here by
the two numbers „1" and „2".
Switching Turnouts and Signals
You can switch all solenoid
items such as turnouts and
signals directly on your track
diagram control screens: Simply
tap on the symbol in question.
Tip: Make sure that the STOP
button is not activated. The
track must be supplied with cur-
rent in order to switch solenoid
items.
