To Use Guided Drive

The Guided Drive mode is used for trams and other light rail vehicles in which the vehicle's position is entirely dictated by the rail layout.

1. Select Guided Drive from the Autodesk Vehicle Tracking menu or click the Guided Drive button on the Vehicle Tracking toolbar.
2. If you have a default vehicle set up, then Guided Drive uses this vehicle. If you want to use a different vehicle, see To Change your Selected Vehicle. Otherwise…
3. If you have a path pre-selected then Guided Drive uses the current vehicle and position. Otherwise…
4. The Library Explorer is displayed for you to select a vehicle. Select a vehicle and click Proceed. For help on how to select a vehicle, see To Select a Vehicle to Drive.
5. Pick an AutoCAD polyline (which may be 2D, 3D, splined, curve-fitted or contain straight and/or arc segments) or spline (2D, non-closed, non-periodic splines only) or MicroStation complex chain.

   The vehicle follows the line starting at the end closest to the point picked. Closing segments of closed polylines are ignored.

   The Guided Drive Settings dialog is displayed.

6. If you want the vehicle to reverse along the line, set Direction to Reverse, and then click OK.

   The swept path is generated and the path redrawn.
