Revision 10328+
The turntable takes care of the routing to and from the track blocks. The Embedded Block option will be set automatically.
The Block ID must be set for every track for generating the routes. Routes must be defined manually if the block ID for a track is empty.
The blocks should be pointing with the minus side to the turntable for a correct representation.
If for a track an Opposite Track is defined a reverse route will also be generated.
All generated routes are temporary and will not be saved in the plan XML.
Note: Should these temporary routes still be saved in the plan file,
with e.g. in these routes the settings deviate from the standard permanently,
can be reached that in the Route dialog with the function Remove auto generate flags.
Example
Embedded block
The turntable itself act like a block object and does not need an external bridge block.

Restrictions
