Hi Dave, Looking much better, at least on your last screenshot. There is one thing though that I do not understand. What could be the reason that my layer numbers are so much courser in 5.2.2 compared to yours? Based on your screenshots I would fully agree that my initial comments sounded a bit weird. I do have a question regarding the SVG-files: If scaling to a bitmap goes wrong, the most common source of the problem would be the line thickness in the SVG-files, or the generator used. Somehow you...

The reason for Dwyane to change the definition of the 7186 turntable in the M-track file is the fact that it only has a limited amount of stubs, and not the 48 like modern the 7286. For a M-track desgin, the 48 stubs are useless, because you have to sort out which connection can be used or not. Tried that, but very confusing and error prone. Solution for me right now: not grouping anything with a turntable (although I really would like to given the amount of time to draw everything).

Please check with Dwyane on the turntable definition, he recently updated the 7186 turntable section in the M-track file (and I used that one). Maybe he has made a small error which only shows up via 5.2?

Just to add a bit more to this discussion: I am also using Blender, a 3D design program. This program also uses a cross hair cursor, but the shape of the cursor and the behavior is different: - the shape is a (smaller) cross hair, where the center is open: you can actually see what is in the center of the cross - the cursor is not drawn as an xor (like in Xtrkcad), but as solid. Actually, that is the normal way of drawing a mousecursor, thus avoiding the color change. I have attached a screenshot...
