Free trackplanning software?

Or you can just use XtrkCad, if you are using that anyways - draw up your room using lines and distance markers, export drawing to a BMP graphical file using File | Export (there is an option on the export popup for leaving the check marks every foot on the axis of the drawing), and then convert that BMP file to an JPG in some way - e.g. using Microsoft Paint.

You lost me already. This might take a while.

Setting up a drawing area - as big as room or bigger:










Drawing in XtrakCad









Exporting bitmap from Xtrakcad












Opening bitmap in MS Paint








Exporting a jpg from MS Paint






Then you upload your jpg image - either directly as an attachment to this forum, or put it on a webserver somewhere (e.g. Photobucket) and create a link to it.

All steps past the "export bitmap" has little to do with XtrkCad user gui, and can be replaced with any of a number of other ways to get an image from a bitmap to a jpg (image converters, screen capture tools etc).

I won't do a photo tutorial on how to upload images to the forum or to e.g photobucket right now - ask if you need one :-)
