Erm, are there samples of designs drawn with TrackDraw to help the needy?

That's a great idea. It would be fun to turn all of the old Idea Book layouts
into TrackDraw files for instance. That would be a neat addition to the release.
If anyone has other interesting layouts, I'm happy to include them.

I have difficulty getting the curved part of a switch (points in UK) to join
up with existing track. It seems that only the straight part of a switch
will be accepted.

If you press the Tab key after adding the point, it will rotate through all
three connections. Then the curved part of the point will match the adjoining
track. You can also click on the point (or any other part) after it has been
added to the layout and press Tab to rotate it through the connections.
