Hi, officially no it's not. Some years ago I did make an unofficial layout designer, which unfortunately is no longer available. There has been some interest in creating a new version though, but I have made no promises.

To avoid confusion, the program in question allowed users to create a mock-up of a simulation, using the SimSig font. It could not be used to design a working simulation.

There is one way of doing it, but it's very crude. You can use the SimSig font in any text editor, such as Notepad. The difficulty is knowing which key types which symbol, but you can copy the symbols from the Character Map program in Windows:

Yes, sorry I should make this clear. There was no simulation functionality, just a graphical designer.
