AutoTrack - Is it possible to add wing mirrors to an existing track?

yousefshiebani — Tue, 13 Dec 2016 11:59:20 GMT

I have a load of tracks that are fine except the client wants to see the wing mirror alignment on them. Is this possible? I'm using AutoCAD 017

This is well outside of my wheelhouse, but it look like you have to adjust the vehicle.

"The vehicles are all supplied without wing mirrors defined, but you can select the Wing Mirrors option to see the effect of these on the path."

Hi @yousefshiebanim

It took me some time to find! If you edit the Body/Outline and select new, you can then select Wing mirror in Type and input your dimensions.

This apparently only works for editing the vehicle before it is tracked.

Morning John

Unfortunately your solution doesn't solve my problem as I have over 30 tracks already tracked that need wing mirrors added to them.

You have to start over I believe: it appears not to be retroactive.

John, how did you get to that screen?

Hi @yousefshiebani,

Yes, sorry to say the answer is not the one you want. I have not found a way to edit the existing track vehicles.

Hi @pendean,

I copied one of the existing library vehicles and made my own.

Then hit advanced

On the next screen I select my vehicle and then Edit

Next, select Body/Outline and expand the Body outline (plan)

Then select New

Lastly, under the Type Dropdown you can select Wing Mirror

It seems it is nested a bit deep 🙂
