It is best practice to set up some initial routes at this point - particularly automatic (blue) routes. Start by pressing the "''Preset automatic signal routes''" button in the toolbar. This sets all routes that don't cross points, crossovers, level crossing or facing signals, and only have a single [[Preferred Directions|preferred direction]] set. Optionally, you may then choose to add more automatic routes using the "''Create automatic route''" button (see below). However, remember that automatic routes can be difficult to cancel, and so they should not be set over crossings and points that may be used during operation, no matter how little. | It is best practice to set up some initial routes at this point - particularly automatic (blue) routes.
