I like the program as a whole, however it needs some improvements to speed up the process. For one, when drawing the outline of your bench work it would be faster if you could enter dimensions after clicking on a start point. Or at least holding down the shft, alt or ctrl key to get a straight line.
I'm mostly designing large layouts so fiddling with the mouse to get it on the spot is frustrating to say the least. You can just place it close and go change it's location easy enough, but it still takes extra time where a more precise drawing method would greatly increase productivity.
This review is after using the program for week at a normal 8 hour day (40 hours) and doing 3 large track plans. No scenery, buildings or terrain was added to any of these layouts as of this review.
I hope that I will be able to edit and/or comment on those features in the coming weeks.
