Technological improvements will help designers of transportation infrastructure to balance the need to increase productivity with saving time and money, while providing designs without compromise. “This powerful database technology allows for compatibility with Microsoft 64 bit operating systems and allow for future scalability,” “The features, functions, and upgraded database technology we’ve added to AutoTURN 6.1 give designers a greater ability to control and present their designs in order to maximize workflows and time savings,” commented Steven Cheng, Vice-President of Technology and Software Development. Previous versions of AutoTURN have utilized the Jet database engine to power vehicle libraries. To accommodate users with 64 bit systems and to provide future scalability, AutoTURN 6.1’s database is powered by SQL Server Express via the Windows Data Access Component to be in alignment with Microsoft Data Access Technologies Road Map. For designers this means that size of libraries can be scaled to accommodate a greater amount of data without losing performance in addition to improving software stability. The implementation of a new database technology will also allow users to add or update vehicle standards more easily in order to make them current with new guidelines as they become available.Ĭompatibility is also at the heart of this release.
Now compatible with AutoCAD versions 2004 to 2010, as well MicroStation V8 to V8i, AutoTURN 6.1 is fully Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Vista 32 bit, and 64 bit systems. Usability improvements to AutoTURN 6.1 have also been made, starting with an updated toolbar.ĪutoTURN 6.1 is also fully compatible with the TORUS Roundabouts and InVision for AutoTURN software. The new look toolbar was developed to be easier for designers to view and select the desired tools without having to dig through multiple ribbons or tabs. The tools within the new look toolbar have also received improvements.
The most notable improvements are in the SmartPath tools. The reverse corner path now allows a reverse sweep angle range of 1° to 160° to give designers more flexibility to cover a greater number of project needs. As well, designers can now have an unlimited number of path sections in any simulation to give users better turning control.
