For 214a there are now 2 additional peg positions, TEXITP and TMINP.

These peg positions are useful if you are using the geometry > turnout-road exit length > adjustable option for the turnout-road exit. For example if you want another switch close behind the crossing.

TEXITP is on the turnout-road centre-line, at the current setting for the turnout-road exit length:

(This corresponds to the CTRL-9 overall length peg position for the main road.)

TMINP is on the turnout-road centre-line, at the minimum possible setting for the turnout-road exit length:

Note that setting this peg position simply moves the fixing peg, it doesn't change the current exit length.

The exit length is usually set using the CTRL+F12 mouse action, but can be set directly if preferred - geometry > template lengths... menu item:

Setting the minimum possible turnout-road exit is helpful to minimize any discrepancies after inserting a diamond-crossing or a turnout at the intersection of other templates. The underlying template can then be split and shortened back to the exit.

These new peg positions are included in the extend/shorten to meet function:
