The Main Window contains (from the top down): Iconifying the Main Window will close all XTrkCad windows.

The Main Canvas is where all tracks and objects are drawn.

The scale of the Main Canvas can be changed by the Zoom menu items under the Edit menu. You can also use the Zoom buttons on the Tool Bar. Tracks will be drawn with two lines if you zoom in. When the drawing scale is 1:1 a dashed centerline is also drawn for each track.

You can change which portion of the layout is displayed by using the Map Window. The size of the Main Window (and some other windows) can be changed by dragging on the Resizing Borders.

The Page Up and Page Down keys will zoom out and zoom in. The arrow keys will move the Canvas.
