rotate the coupler

Post by MallardFan »

Ok this is a weird one - my "rear" coupler appears to be in the wrong direction - its facing into the train :o

Any how to get it to rotate around to face outwards?

You can turn it round by changing the numbers in the matrix boxes in the blueprint - not recommended

In blueprint editor go to preview then select the offending coupling in the bottom left hand flyout, then rotate the white arrow, that has been selected in the screen, through 180deg.

Or do it the really easy way and use the following programme - simples.
