Track planning programs are just tools helping you draw the plan, but not designing it. As Dave stated, you need to acquire the basics of track planning before you start using a CAD program to draw your plan. Before buying a program, I´d suggest to have a go with one of the bvarious freebies, which are actually quite powerful. I am quite happy with SCARM, which even lets you do a 3D rendering of your plan. SCARM also has a number of nicely done video tutorials. Of course, there are others. They all have in common that there is quite a learning curve. It takes some time until you master any of those programs.
