If “Check for Updates” feature in older releases reports that there is no newer version of SCARM, download the installer directly from the website. The old release info file may be cached on your PC and it may need some time to expire. If the website also shows older version, press F5 key to refresh it. |
The new version of SCARM comes with new and improved features, several new and updated libraries, updated language translations and also with some minor bugfixes.
Highlighting of the last used items
A new feature for highlight on the last used items (buttons from the selection panel) was added to this version of SCARM. It is turned on by default and will allow the users to easy see and distinguish which elements they used in the currently edited project. Once a track or object is used and placed on the drawing plot, its button will be highlighted in color, as in the example below:
You can change the highlight color from “Tools” > “Settings” > “Track panel” > “Labels” and if you don’t like that new feature, you can turn it off.
Notice for the users of old 1.x.x versions prior to v. 1.9.3
Please, upgrade your previous 1.x.x versions of SCARM to the latest v. 1.9.3 in order to get all new features and apply the last bugfixes. The old unregistered versions prior to v. 1.9.3 will be discontinued and no longer supported.

SCARM is the best CAD for railroad design that I found. Excellent program!
Thank you, Art
Hello
I have changed my license from one PC to another.
The site indicates the switch was successful, however when i try to use the site, i get a notice saying i need to buy another license.
Can you help?

Hello John,
Please, see the possible causes of the problem and the corresponding solutions here: Resolving License Activation and Installation Issues.
Very happy with SCARM! Been a user for several years.
One thing I would like to see in a future update is the ability to tell SCARM how many of a certain type of track I have and count down as I use them, or have a counter showing how many I’ve placed on the layout so that I can quickly see how many pieces I’ve used. For example, if I have 3 pieces of Peco SL-E99, and I use 2 of them, it would show that I have 1 remaining. That way, I can see what pieces I have as I create (or change) the layout.
Also on my wish list… An easy way to make 2 parallel curved tracks with different radii.
Hello Chad,
What you want in your first comment is an inventory feature. This is already in my To-do list and will appear in some of the future releases of SCARM.
About the second wish – that can be already done using Flex-tracks modelling feature in the Toolbox, however I will consider that too for complex routes (made from several flexes with different sections).
Buena Tardes, no soy capaz de encontrar una librería con edificios ferroviarios,
Me gustaría colocar una estación, una carbonera, postes de agua, depósitos de agua, y algún que otro edificio más ¿Existe?.
Saludos cordiales

Hello Angel,
These structures are not coming with the installer, however, you can search and download what you need here: http://www.scarm.info/blog/tag/buildings/
Hello. I have downloaded its program, free version, I have also bought the extension of the train simulator. I am weighing in making a modular model type “T-TRAK” or modules “N” and I do not know how you can divide the base board into multiple modules with the official approved measures. Does the paid version allow it? Thank you for your response and congratulations on the development of this software.
Hello Javier,
SCARM has limited capabilities for making modular designs, and there is no difference between the free and paid versions about that. Here is one example about how the baseboard can be divided into modules, so check it: http://www.scarm.info/blog/tips-and-tricks/creating-layout-of-several-modules-in-scarm/
Ik ben pas gisteren begonnen met de gratis Scarm te installeren en loop nu al vast omdat ik het aantal vrij te plaatsen rails al heb opgebruikt.
Nu wil ik de betaalde versie wel kopen maar wil eerst graag weten of het mogelijk is om ook een bedradingsschema te maken met Scarm.
Kan iemand mij dat vertellen.
Hello P Lamain,
Yes, SCARM can be used for drawing of wiring diagrams with the help of the figures. See more details here: http://www.scarm.info/blog/tutorials-and-examples/adding-wiring-diagrams-to-scarm-track-plans/
El notebook donde he instalado la clave adquirida, funcionaba bien, pero el equipo ha sido robado, sin poder desintalar la clave y no me permite actualizar la clave nuevamente en mi segundo PC, como lo hare?, gracias
Hello Pedro,
and request emergency license reset, stating the purchase Ref No of your license and I will then unlock it in 1-2 business days.
In such case, please, write to
Note: Emergency license reset can be performed only once per year.
