Construction lines can prove useful while creating the path, but are normally disabled for the final report.
On each tab, select Show boxes for the elements you want to see. The following Edit options apply to all six types of construction lines; some options that apply only to Path, Drag Lines, and Steering Pointer are explained at the end of this topic.
- Path is the locus of the tracking point.
- Errored Path is a line connecting the target points of those sections of the path that cannot be performed.
- Model Changes are represented by an octagonal symbol and include speed changes and changes to the transition type.
- Target Points are shown as small crosses.
- Drag Lines are shown connecting the driving grip and the centres of the front and rear axles.
- Steering Pointer is a line or arrow projecting from the centre of the steered axle a distance equal to the wheelbase of the unit.
- Color provides a list of 255 colors. To use a color not on the list, select Custom and click the color swatch to select a color from the chart.
For AutoCAD only, pen numbers directly correlate with AutoCAD's pen numbering system (color indices in later versions). If you select a custom color that does not correspond to a defined pen color, it is treated as TrueColor.
- Line Type can be continuous lines, or various dashed and dotted patterns.
- Weight of the line is 0.0 mm by default, which forces the thinnest possible line. Wider lines are drawn symmetrically about the centreline.
Note: Variations in line weight are only visible on printed output or in a print preview.
Path Options
- Show Path Line displays the path of the tracking point.
- Show Path Identifier displays the path number adjacent to each path.
Drag Lines Options
- Show Overturn Draglines displays editing draglines at overturns.
- Show Extend Path Draglines displays draglines extending from the front and rear of the vehicle. These can be used to extend the path by one section at a time.
Steering Pointer Options
- Show Steering Percentage displays the physical steering angle as a percentage of the maximum possible.
- Use Simple Steering Pointer displays the steering pointer as a line instead of as an arrow.
