The raw Plan

First Plan with one turnout and two routes defined. The three buttons are to set the routes.

      <swcmd id="w1" cmd="turnout" lock="true"/>
    </st>
  </stlist>
</plan>

The Actions

now we need two actions to trigger the routes. This could be done using the actions Dialog.

in the plan.xml the following lines are added: 

<aclist>
    <ac id="ac_b1" timed="false" hour="0" min="0" cmd="" oid="w_b1" actiontime="0" param="" timer="0" type="st"/>
    <ac id="ac_b2" timed="false" hour="0" min="0" cmd="" oid="w_b2" actiontime="0" param="" timer="0" type="st"/>
</aclist>

The Buttons

Now, what we want is that if one presses the start button and after that a button in one in the track the corresponding route is set. Therefore we need the condition that the action is executed if button 1 is on. 

<co id="a2" x="9" y="2" z="0" desc="" show="true" svgtype="3" blockid="" routeids="" iid="" bus="0" addr="0" port="0" gate="0" prot="D" ori="west">
    <actionctrl id="ac_b1">
        <actioncond id="a1" state="on" type="co"/>
    </actionctrl>
</co>
<co id="a3" x="2" y="2" z="0" desc="" show="true" svgtype="3" blockid="" routeids="" iid="" bus="0" addr="0" port="0" gate="0" prot="D" ori="west" state="off">
    <actionctrl id="ac_b2">
        <actioncond id="a1" state="on" type="co"/>
    </actionctrl>
</co>

but now the buttons stay on after the route is set. So we have to define another action to set them back to off.

So we expand the aclist to: 

  <aclist>
    <ac id="ac_b1" timed="false" hour="0" min="0" cmd="" oid="w_b1" actiontime="0" param="" timer="0" type="st"/>
    <ac id="ac_b2" timed="false" hour="0" min="0" cmd="" oid="w_b2" actiontime="0" param="" timer="0" type="st"/>
    <ac id="a1_off" timed="false" hour="0" min="0" cmd="off" oid="a1" actiontime="0" param="" timer="0" type="co"/>
    <ac id="a2_off" timed="false" hour="0" min="0" cmd="off" oid="a2" actiontime="0" param="" timer="0" type="co"/>
    <ac id="aw_off" timed="false" hour="0" min="0" cmd="off" oid="aw" actiontime="0" param="" timer="0" type="co"/>
  </aclist>

and add the actions to the Buttons: 

  <colist>
    <co id="a1" x="9" y="1" z="0" desc="" show="true" svgtype="3" blockid="" routeids="" iid="" bus="0" addr="0" port="0" gate="0" prot="D" ori="west" state="off">
      <actionctrl id="ac_b1">
        <actioncond id="aW" state="on" type="co"/>
      </actionctrl>
      <actionctrl id="aw_off"/>
      <actionctrl id="a1_off"/>
      <actionctrl id="a2_off"/>
    </co>
    <co id="aw" x="2" y="2" z="0" desc="" show="true" svgtype="3" blockid="" routeids="" iid="" bus="0" addr="0" port="0" gate="0" prot="D" ori="west" state="off"/>
    <co id="a2" x="9" y="2" z="0" desc="" show="true" svgtype="3" blockid="" routeids="" iid="" bus="0" addr="0" port="0" gate="0" prot="D" ori="west" state="off">
      <actionctrl id="ac_b2">
        <actioncond id="aW" state="on" type="co"/>
      </actionctrl>
      <actionctrl id="aw_off"/>
      <actionctrl id="a1_off"/>
      <actionctrl id="a2_off"/>
    </co>
  </colist>

</plan>

All of those can be done using the gui. But it's much easier to edit the xml files directly.
