I have not seen this before. I have had a look into 113A library showing both Turnouts and Switches. It seems to me that Turnouts are based on true geometry and switches are based on lots of small joined up lines. So turnouts actually place tangental elements, curves, transitions and straights, in the drawing as graphics, but swiches do it a bit differently. It looks like swithes are based on a chainage, offset and instantanious radius (including planing radius) from the start of the turnout fronts or origin. I see there is a 3.070m dimension, which is usually the switche fronts. The switche definition seems to talk in railways terms with Lead Length and Crossing IP to Nose etc instead of the triangle length and .1 .2 .3 terms used in turnout createion. Let me know how your testing turns out. A
