... Is that true?
Yes. It has been a sourceforge freeware project managed by Martin Fischer up until July 15th 2010, when Martin regretfully had to close down the project due to lack of available time to work on the project. Code is frozen at the moment, but version 4.0.3 is still available for download from sourceforge (see below).

That re-drawing routine has gotten very long in the tooth and my planning sessions have ground to a halt due to the exasperation of the re-drawing exercise!
And since so many on this forum have apparently used the software, I'll assume it is, at the very least, helpful. So now I must ask, from which download site did you download your copy of XTrackCAD?
Can be downloaded from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xtrkcad-fork/
