Have you done the XtraCAD tutorial. The program walks you through the program quite well.

When you install the RTS ver. 7.0 you set which components you want to install. HO, N, O, etc.

I sent you a reply to your Email that should help with the XTrakCad.

Now for the Atlas program you can change the size of the area you’re working on by going to “View”, then “Properties”, and on the “desktop” tab at the bottom you can reset the area size. To change the trackage and scale go to “Element”, and “Load Library” to select the trackage you want to work with.

Hope this helps!
