The AutoLISP-program TRAKTRIX creates the phases of motion for a car or a truck, following a given course (2D-polyline or 2D-SPLINE). The number of phases will give the accuracy of approximation. As a result you will get a new course-polyline(traktrix), which will describe the motion of the traktix-point. This new traktrix-polyline can be used to get the motion of a trailor. |   |

Please read the README.txt first. Copy the TRAKTRIX-DEMO.vlx in a current AutoCAD-path - i.e. where the ACAD.exe is located or in the SUPPORT-path. Open the sample drawing TRAKTRIX.dwg. Load the program by typing (load "TRAKTRIX-DEMO") at the command line and then start the program by typing "TRAKTRIX" at the command line. It is recommended to save the result of the computation to a file with a new name, i.e. not to the file TRAKTRIX.dwg. A special version for BRICSCAD or ZWCAD is available too. |   |
