<h1><a name="joinTrackStraight"></a>2.2.6.2 Using Straight Flex-Track</h1>
<p>
This method of joining track may be used where the endpoints of the two tracks to be joined are on the same horizontal (<code>X</code>) or vertical (<code>Y</code>) axis.

<p>
</p>
</li>
<li>
Move the mouse pointer over the endpoint of the other track then <em>Left-Click</em>. A track connecting the two endpoints will appear.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
When this command is used to join;
</p>
<ul><li>
two flex-track endpoints, one long section of flex-track without joints will result.
</li>
<li>
two sectional track endpoints, a section of flex-track will be created between and used to join the two sectional track endpoints.
</li>
<li>
one flex-track endpoint with one sectional track endpoint, the section of flex-track will be extended and joined with the sectional track endpoint.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Any tracks created during the <strong>Join</strong> command will have the following properties inherited from the first track: selected state, hidden state, scale, track gauge and Layer.
</p>
<p>
Turnouts and Sectional (<a href="cmdHotBar.html#cmdHotBar">Section 2.7</a>) tracks can be joined to other tracks. <em>XTrkCad</em> extends the selected endpoint with a straight track when making the connection.
</p>
<p>
A Turntable (<a href="cmdTurntable.html#cmdTurntable">Section 2.1.9</a>) can be joined however it must be used as the second endpoint.
