Hi Martin

I have just been producing a transition curve using a Compaq computer running windows XP and got this result.

38_010839_400000000.png38_010839_400000000.png

I was attempting to get a transition from the current template to the one underneath when this happened as I could not use the peg align function as the radii of both templates are to close to the same and templot is unable to produce them.

I closed Templot down and reopened it again and reloaded my current file and the same crazy track as above was visible, so I clicked on template 32 and deleted the crazy track.

Will be going back with a new template to get the transition curve, hopefully!

Cheers Phil

Hi Phil,

Thanks for posting. :)

It's a known effect caused by the transition curve being too gentle. For details see:

 topic 1391

Generally when this happens you know that you could just as easily use a fixed radius curve.

regards,

Martin.
