<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Step 1. Idiot clicks on the red triangle in the tool bar
Step 2. Idiot clicks on the work surface, BUT DOES NOT LET GO OF THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON.
Step 3. A circle and line appear, surrounding the red triangle.
Step 4. Still holding down the left mouse button. Idiot moves the mouse around in a large circle round the triangle.
As he does this, the black line moves round with him, and at the bottom left of the window it tells him the current angle in degrees.
Step 5. When Idiot is satisfied with the angle, he lets go of the left mouse button.
Step 6. If Idiot has let go too soon of the left mouse button, then start again and click on the red triangle in the tool bar
Step 7. To set the angle of a new track, simply click on the track piece from the keft-hand track list and it is placed on the layout at the angle of the red triangle
Step 8. To change the angle of an existing track, Idiot selects the track, and it changes colour to red.
Step 9. With the mouse pointer hovering over the selected track, RIGHT-click the mouse and a menu appears containing "Move".
If you can't see "Move", then the mouse pointer wasn't directly over the track. Move the mouse and right click again until you see "Move"
Step 10. Idiot Clicks on "Move"
Step 11. Idiot moves the track until one end joins up with the red triangle.
Step 12. Idiot clicks the left button, and the track now rotates to the desired angle.
Step 13. If necessary, Idiot moves the now-rotated track to another position, starting as per step 9.
Having mastered these skills, Idiot is promoted - to Competent Idiotit must be so nice to be perfect.
