After starting the switchboard recorder, you are able to record the route. First select the
switchboard in which the intended path of the route is located. Then, click to the track
where the route will begin. Finally, click to the track element, where the route will end.
TrainController displays the tracks along the route as if the route were activated,
but only if it is possible to reach the destination track from the starting track.

If you specify the start and end of a route in this way, then TrainController tries to
find an arbitrary suitable path. Alternatively, you can also specify a path from the start
to the destination of the route. To do this, move the mouse to the starting track. Press
and hold the left mouse button and drag the mouse along the desired path to the destination
of the route. After reaching the destination release the left mouse button. Again
TrainController indicates the tracks along the route as if the route were activated.
To extend an existing route, additionally press and hold the Shift key during the procedure
outlined above.
Signals in Routes and Protection of Routes
If signals will be operated in addition to the switches along the route, then you can add
the related signals to the operations of the route. More details about operations can be
found in section 12.3, “Operations”. Signals included in these operations can be locked
if desired until the specific route is turned off again.
In this way you can also protect the route. All switches outside the path of the route,
which have been additionally assigned to the operations of the route, are operated accordingly
and can be locked until the route is turned off. In this way you can lock
switches outside of routes in appropriate positions to protect trains running on the route
against collisions.
