Features
new to version 8 include:-
- Native
support for 64 bit AutoCAD 2009 and derivatives:
AutoTrack detects AutoCAD 2009 (32 and 64 bit versions)
and all derivative products and automatically installs
support for them in Express and Compact modes.
- Animation
acceleration and deceleration:
Make your animations more realistic by adding acceleration and deceleration
zones at the start and end of paths and at changes of speed and direction.
Enabled with a single check box but fully customisable.
- Optional
wing mirrors:
Add wing mirrors with a single button click.
- Partial
self-steering:
Define
partial self-steering in which the self-steering is limited
or dampened.
- Uni-directional
self-steering:
Define vehicles with self-steering in one direction only - quite commonplace.
- Full
width tyre tracks:
Display full width tyre tracks with a single button click - now you can check
the 'inside' envelope too!
- Compact
installation type especially for remote deployment:
New installation type that is part way between Express
and Custom. It adds user-definable options to all CAD systems
it finds. This means that it can be deployed using a single silent
install script to systems that have different CAD systems.

includes a time element that allows it to generate accurate
swept paths at selected speeds.

steerable couplings.
- Follow:

Reporting: Reports appear automatically
as soon as you finish your path. Once generated, you can
change the presentation format for any report without having
to first delete old reports. New reports
have been added for body and wheel, static and clearance
envelopes allowing greater clarity of presentation.
- Customisable:
All settings, including report content, colours and line styles
can be edited and saved as defaults saving time on future projects.
