I have the bought version of the Anyrail program. As I design the track plan I would like to put the footprints of various structures into the plan that are not included in the libraries with the program. I am modeling in HO and would like to show inches in length and width so that I can place them between tracks and alongside tracks so I know how much room is needed for the final design.

Thanks. I did it by each side in the area I want. Is there an easy way to build the footprint on the board and then drag the completed footprint into the area of the layout instead of putting all sides in one by one?

There is a way to build movable footprint.

You had me going there for a minute.  I was looking around Bachmann website for the Anyrail forum, until I realized you meant the AnyRail.com website.

The info I provided (see quote), if used, should have avoided your misconception about the location of the AnyRail Forum.
