    Rail Track Layout Utility - how add custom Rail type?

    Hello,

     

    is it possible to define custom Rail Types in Rail Track Layout Utility for AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2013?

    There is only combobox with predefined Rail types 49, 54, 60.

     

    In Help I found: "The rail type defines the standard turnout types (e.g. 49, 54, 60 etc.)or other user defined types "

    , also there is mentioned, that  "...pre-prepared turnout types that are written in the XML file ara_switch.xml"

     

    I can't find that ara_switch.xml file. 

     

    Any solutions?

     

     

     

     

     

    Please use plain text.

    I installed the utility as well, but I cannot find the ara_switch.xml noted in the HELP menu either. Hopefully someone on the forums has a suggestion while I take some time to look into this further.

    I could not find the ara_switch.xml on my machine or any variation of it. It seems all the files for the utility are located here: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013\Civil

     

    there is a text file located here called: MSG_TurnOut.txt 

     

    Have you had a look at that?
