This powerful CAD program lets you create track plans of any size and shape. Easy-to-use drag and drop tools allow you to snap track sections together end to end and align them automatically. Flexible CAD tools let you create complex shapes that your train will run on and that you can build. Plan, Profile and 3D views let you add elevations to your drawing so you can see things from any angle.
Auto-Alignment tools make it easy to snap together complex figures and shapes. Just drop one object onto another and the ends automatically come together. Turnout objects (switches) make working with yards and other complex shapes easy. Just drag and drop in a turnout. Cadrail automatically rotates it into position and cleans up any connections. An extensive set of tools is available for complex combinations of yard ladders, sidings and crossovers. Add you walls and benchwork to the drawing. Make a detailed building elevation or trestle template. Do wiring diagrams and track schematics. You're only limited by your imagination and skill.
You can run a train on your drawing to get a better feel of how your trains will operate.
Version 9 makes use of Microsofts .net framework making Cadrail fully compatible with the Windows Vista operating system. Version 9 supports all other systems running Windows 98 or higher. Easy-to-use flexible CAD tools allow you to design complex shapes, snap track sections together, add turnouts, create complex combinations of yard ladders, sidings and crossovers, add your walls and benchwork to the drawing and more. Version 9 features 3-D drawing support and 3-D views. Cadrail allows you to open multiple drawings and copy and paste between them. Operate the train in real time with a 3-D cab view, overhead view or birdseye view. Drawing tools allow you to edit freehand, create 3-D shapes and rotate in three directions. Version 9 features better defined figures, improved printing and allows you to make printouts to any scale, in any unit of measurement and in any device supported by Windows. Software comes with a printed manual, interactive computerized help file and extensive libraries with thousands of shapes you can use for layouts, buildings, bridges, scenery, track and more.
