Notable apps and updates, Oct. 19-24 — Apple World Today

Version 6.3 features a new Auto-Colorize function to automatically colorize layouts by element type, radius, article number, or layer using multiple color palettes, an improved Library Catalog showing the shorthand or alias for an article (where published by the manufacturer), an extended baseboard assistant featuring a large preview to help matching a new baseboard with existing layout content, and better export to JMRI’s PanelPro application for controlling model railroads via DCC.

Other changes in this update include a new inspector for customizing the appearance of user-created buffer stops, an improved Community Layouts feature for track plans shared by a community of model train hobbyists, new color controls providing a familiar iWork style color palette, as well as enhancements to many other aspects of the app’s user interface. And, as always, the latest update includes new as well as extended libraries for tracks and accessories.

RailModeller Pro 6.3 requires macOS 10.12 or later and is available for US$39.99 exclusively through the Mac App Store. A free version, RailModeller Express – which is suitable for smaller layouts with a limited number of tracks – is also available through the Mac App Store in the Graphics and Design category.

Zevrix Solutions has announced Graphic Inspector 2.4.10, a compatibility update to its quality control solution for images and vector graphics files.
