Hi
I'd like to be able to draw a path (2D) - both ends of a rectangular shape must follow that path (to simulate the transport of some heavy equipment along the path, to see how much space the transportation takes op when turning corners...)
The attached figure explains all.
Autoturn from Transoft cannot do the job for me, since I cannot have the front and back of a veichle follow the same path (independing steering of each end of the veichle).
I belive the task is quite simple, perhaps a VBA macro can do it, or some of the tools in InRoads can be (mis)used? Or some Microstation functionality that I do not know of?
Any Idea - or should I put the question in another forum?
Best regards and merry Christmas, Martin
Hi, As I mentioned before, please use DXF: 1. create custom linestyle 2. use this linestyle in visibility tool 3. export file to DXF (with 'drop unsupported LineStyles' option). 4. create region as you wish. it works ok! See attached ScreenCam. yes, probably we met. On newsgroup or BE or IR conferences. InRoads Users => one biiiig family :)
Regards,
Piotr

I know some time has pased since your post and you will have probalby solved your problem.
But if you again need a solution for this task I believe this COMERCIAL aplication could help.

I gave it a look some time ago and looked quite fine; It worked for Autocad and Microstation, but dont know if it suports the latest V8i;
