For a curved template: template > swap hand, or CTRL+H, means exactly the same as in toy train track -- changing the hand makes a mirror image of the template. If the curved template is part of a track plan, this will obviously destroy the alignment. template > invert handing, or CTRL+X, maintains the alignment in the track plan, but swaps the divergence to the opposite side. For a plain track template there is no visible change, but the MS and TS sides swap over. The best way to understand the difference is to try it. Start with a curved turnout. Dab CTRL+H a few times. Then dab CTRL+X a few times. It soon becomes clear: handing.png  regards, Martin. |
