In this panel you see all items around a particular (minimal) route, which includes the core of a route and some additional things that come along with it which are optional .
-
The internal key of the block where the route starts (1).
-
The internal key of the start signal located at the end of block where the route starts and the train must pass to exit this block (1).
-
The internal key of the destination block where the route ends (1).
-
The number of blocks that the start signal can indicate to be clear (2).
-
A route code that can be assigned to the route for quick routing.
-
Distant only signal that exist on the way of the route (3).
-
A list of internal keys of objects the train must travel to go through the route between the start block and the destination block (1).
-
A list of internal keys of objects that act as protection against this route, along with the state the objects need to be in for protection and the position within a route.
-
Pick from Diagram for adding protection switches – a click there will add selected switch to our list (4)(5)
-
Delete Protect Switch selected in the Switch protection list.
-
Propagate Relation for all other routes (6)
-
Copy for another route – copies the protection list into a buffer for use for other routes (?)
-
Paste from another route – copies the protection list from the buffer (copied previously from another route) to this protection list (?)
-
Exit closes this window.
Notes:
-
This is part of the route definition and cannot be changed
-
This involves routes that follow beyond the destination block of this route. A “Def (x)” indicates the default value for the signal type of this route type.
-
Distance-only signal along the way of the route may or may not be active depending what destination block it has.
-
This button appears only in edit mode.

You can establish a relationship between a pair of switches and propagate this relationship to all other routes in the system. The current active pair is shown in this button (e.g. “W0-W2”) with one being a traveled switch and the state required for the route, and the other a protection switch with the state With this button you can add this protection switch to any other routes in the system which have the same traveled switch in the same state. You can change the pair by clicking on a new choice on a switch on either the traveled list or the protectors list.
