The Route Manager plugin allows the user to immediately identify and view all the routes of a given track plan.
A route is defined as a track path between two library objects marked as route terminators. The user can differentiate the routes in different categories by choosing the route terminator for each category in the configuration file.
The Route Manager plugin opens a window listing all the possible routes with the relative properties: by selecting a route in the list, it is automatically shown as an highlighted path in the track plan.
The CSV Exporter plugin allows the user to export all the track-plan data in CSV format.
Every entity type is exported in a different file and each file’s header includes metadata whose fields can be set by the user.
It is also possible to easily exclude entities from the export for a complete customization of the exported file.
The PDF Exporter and the PNG Exporter plugins allow the user to export the track-plan drawing in PDF/ PNG format.
The colours of the exported file can be set by the user as far as railway tracks, railway entities and background colour are concerned.
Through the use of layers it is possible to choose the entities to export in the PDF for a completely customizable drawing export.
