Is there a way to duplicate the attached screen with FF?
These are just statics used as a frame.

Never mind I got it. The trick(?) is to do the labels last then switch back to front ( or vice versa ) before you run.
You can select them all during design it's just you don't see the inner selection squares.
Edit:
I also found a way to add an item after you created the bounding label.
select the label and cut. create a new item and then paste the label and move it to desired position.

James,

I'm interested in what you're doing (with the software, not necessarily the GUI).  Earlier on in my career I was doing quite a bit of stray current monitoring with Light Rail systems.

Are you able to discuss?  PM me if you are.

Best regards

Since my Dad does N-Scale model railroads my mind seems stuck on something to control and monitor that, but other buttons seem to show it handling full size or Subway/Transit systems.

Roger,
I had to laugh! I also model in N-scale, and I had the same "train of thought" as yours when I first looked at James' screen!  ;D

That would be going a little overboard to do alignments in AutoCAD or Microstation for a model train.  They are both multi-thousands of dollars per license.  ::) 

Sounds to me like James works for one of the state DOTs or maybe an engineering/consulting firm.

Pocket Change to some of the guys really into it or a club setting up modules of track at shows.  These guys will pay $20 to several hundred for a single car of a train.  Some of the electrical circuits these guys build to control their stuff makes a New York subway system look like slot car racing.

Of course, you are right Roger.  I also realized later that people who already have and use CAD software for their livelihood, might also have hobbies (who would have thunk?).  If I already had it, I would find other uses for it myself. ;)
