On Span and Supports give bullet option of center to center
I often use center to center distance when specifying span lengths. It would be more convenient if I could click on an bullet option at the top rather than have to select "Custom Dimension Locations" and then select center for each span.

Remember Shorthand in Load Inputs
It would be nice of Forte just remembered that you typed 1+ ___mm or 2| or M so you don't have to go back and re-input all of your loads if you increase support width due to a bearing failure.
