Can I ask a quick question? Is Layout Designer the same thing as Track
Designer or Track Plan? I was sort of looking for something that would let
me configure baseplates to get an idea how it would look. I haven't looked
at the Track programs so I don't know what they do/don't do.
Is there anything that will let you layout the various types of baseplates?
