# 2.1.9 Turntables

Turntables of specified diameter are created with the Turntable command.

The Turntable Diameter control (Visible in the Status Bar) displays the current diameter of the turntable. This value can be changed before dragging the turntable into position. The value must be greater than 0.0.

The Modify command (Section 2.2.8) can be used to create turntable stall tracks. Select the turntable and drag the stall track to the proper angle and length. You can also connect to a turntable with the Join command (Section 2.2.7).

The Turntable Angle control on the Preferences (Section 2.10.7) dialog controls how closely you can place tracks connected to a turntable. If you want to create stall tracks every 7.5°, set the Turntable Angle control to 7.5 and place the track as close to each other as allowed. XTrackCAD makes sure they will be separated by the correct angle.
