AnyRail Frequently asked questions

Q: Where can I find the AnyRail manual?
A: It is installed with your version of AnyRail. Please go to Start->All Programs->AnyRailEN->Manual.

You can also find the latest version of the manual here.

Q: Can I shorten/cut AnyRail flextrack to fit a space?
A: Yes. It's easy to bend and cut flex track. Each piece has four 'control points', one at either end, one at 1/3 and one at 2/3 of the track. They light up when you hover the mouse over them. To shorten a piece of flex track, just left-click a control point and drag. You can also drag the control point onto another piece of track for automatic connection.

Alternatively, you can use the special functions to create a perfect straight or curve from your flex track.

Q: Why does changing scale switch on (or off) red tight curve warnings?
A: Your curves are almost too tight! AnyRail calculates warnings based on the on-screen drawing. If you change the scale, the calculation changes. If there are no problems at 1:5, don't worry.

Q: How do I disconnect (unlink) track?
A: Hover over the little circle that represents the connection. When it goes purple and lights up, press the right mouse button (right-click) and select 'Disconnect' from the popup menu.

You can also click the right mouse button on the track and select 'Disconnect'.

Q: Does my DRail license key work for AnyRail?
A: Yes, your license key for DRail version 2 is automatically transferred to AnyRail. If it does not work, please contact us.

Q: Can I use my license key on my laptop as well?
A: Yes, you can. The license is strictly personal, meaning you can't share it, but you can use it on more than one PC.

Q: What is the difference between DRail and AnyRail?
A: DRail is the former name for the AnyRail model railroad design software. The product is created by DRail Modelspoor Software.
