# D.1 Version 2.x

Updated Titles

Version 2.0.0 of XTrkCad introduced a change in the way Turnouts and Structures are named. The new method splits the title into 3 parts: Manufacturer, Description and Part Number.

To help you when upgrading to the new version, when loading an old XTrkCad layout file, XTrackCAD detects if the layout uses Turnouts and Structures that have titles in the old format. If so this dialog is displayed which allows you to change the titles in your layout to the new format.

The title of each different type of Turnout is collected and presented in this dialog. Simply select the Turnout on the list that matches the one displayed and click 'Update'. Repeat for each type of Turnout in your layout.

If there is no matching Turnout, click on Ignore. The Turnout will retain the old name as the Description, with a blank Manufacturer and Part Number.

Click Cancel to continue loading the file without updating the titles.

If you Save your file without updating all the titles you will not be able to update the titles later.

If you are looking at old files without making changes then Click on Cancel to load the file without Updates.

Not updating the titles prevents the customization of the way titles are presented in various lists and on the layout. Basic operation of XTrackCAD is not affected.
