Features new to version 8 include:-

• Native support for AutoCAD 2011 and all verticals
  AutoTrack detects both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2011 and all vertical derivative products and automatically installs support for them in Express and Compact modes.
• Native support for MicroStation V8i, PowerDraft 7.0 to V8i, PowerCivil XM and Bentley MX:
  AutoTrack detects all these variants and automatically installs support for them in Express and Compact modes.
• Fully independent secondary steering:
  Control a second steered axle at drive time using the mouse wheel. The system can also model driver controllable steering linkages.
• Multiple user-definable camera angles in 3D animation:
  You can now define any number of camera viewpoints (including drivers eye views) and then switch between them during animation playback.
• 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.

Other features:-

• Multi-platform support: AutoTrack is available for AutoCAD R14, 2000, 2000i, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011, Map R2, R3, R4, R5, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011, Civil 3D 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011, Land Development Desktop 1, 2, 2i, 3, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011, Architectural Desktop 1, 2, 3, 3.3, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011, MicroStation 95, SE, J, V8, XM and V8i on Windows 98, NT, 2000, ME, XP & Vista. The stand-alone version of AutoTrack (see below) can also link via DXF to other CAD systems, including any version of AutoCAD LT.
• Stand-alone version: AutoTrack is also supplied as a stand-alone product that requires neither AutoCAD nor MicroStation.
• Advanced driving algorithms: The path generation algorithm includes a time element that allows it to generate accurate swept paths at selected speeds.
• Dynamic manoeuvre checking: Built-in checks prevent the user from inadvertantly exceeding the vehicle limitations.
• Extensive vehicle libraries: AutoTrack comes complete with over 1000 pre-defined vehicles covering UK, USA, Canada, Australia & New Zealand.
• Two vehicle editors: Built in vehicle creation and editing facilities allow similar vehicles to be copied and then edited but also prevents the user from editing base library vehicles.
• Support for complex vehicles: AutoTrack is able to model complex steering linkages (such as rear steered trailers). Also models fully independent secondary steering. Axle types for Pendel axles, tandem steered axles, hydraulically steerable couplings.
• AutoDrive: Revolutionary new way to drive vehicles that makes reversing large vehicles as easy as drawing a line – just point and click.
• Vertical Clearance mode: Unique Vertical Clearance drive mode for checking headroom and ground clearance.
• Follow: Allow vehicles to follow predefined paths.
• Script: Powerful manoeuvre scripting language.
• Manual Drive: Unique fully interactive driving mode.
• Dynamic Editing: Unique interactive tool to edit the alignment of swept paths by dragging. Again, checks are performed to prevent impossible paths. 
• Dynamic 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.
• 3D animation: 'Out of the box' animation, i.e. requires no additional data entry. When used to model aircraft users may wish to provide their own 3D blocks. Works even with vehicles you create yourself. (AutoCAD & MicroStation versions only)
• Parking layout tools: Parking layout tools enable fast planning of vehicle parking areas. Support for all types of parking as well as special bay types. Built-in and user-definable parking standards. Dynamic reporting displays bay count by type, zone, service type, vehicle class, etc.
• Report Wizard: A new Report Wizard makes it even easier to get your output looking the way you want it.
• Settings Wizard: A Settings Wizard makes it easier to find the most commonly used settings.
• Licences: Single user or network licences available.
