Topic: Vehicle Turning Radii Lisp

[SPDCad]

Does anyone have a vehicle turning radii lisp for Cad? Preferably one with 18 Wheelers.

This maybe something I will have to write in the very near furture.

Anyhelp would be appreciated. Thanks

SPD,

I use AutoTurn, that's how the drawings CAB found came to be. If you would like I can create a truck turn template for you in the AM. Just send me the specs for the truck, length, width, length of tractor, length of trailer, etc. (see pic).

Nice find Carl, Thanks.

I wrote a LISP which will show the motion of a truck (and the trailors) following a given 2d-Polyine or Spline, i.e. for the TRAKTRIX-problem.
In case of interest contact me via scj.schulz@online.de
