Track Designer was great, back in the day. But it's been unsupported for years
now. If you're a long time user, it works fine, although it's not extensible.
New users would be well advised to look into TrackDraw instead... way more
features, extensible menus, and the format is XML rather than obscure opaque
object dumps that can't be imported by anything else.

Hope that helps.
