Thank you for using Autodesk® Vehicle Tracking 2018 Update 1.
This readme contains important information about Autodesk® Vehicle Tracking 2018 Update 1 that may not be included in the Help. For reference, save or print this document. It is strongly recommended that you read this entire document before you install.
File Format Change
Vehicle Tracking Update 1 changes the File Format of the drawings. If you have previous versions of Vehicle Tracking or Hotfix 1, you need to upgrade to edit Vehicle Tracking objects and Civil 3D Roundabouts. If you do not have the upgrade, the newer format Vehicle Tracking commands will be disabled and the Vehicle Tracking entities will be proxy objects.
AutoCAD Map 2018 Hotfix 1
AutoCAD Map 2018 Hotfix 1 should be installed to avoid the issue of grip editing in Vehicle Tracking sometimes produce unpredictable results. Here is a link to more information about the issue and the hotfix download: AutoCAD Map 2018 Hotfix 1.
Approach Warnings
Confusing Entry/Exit prefix for some design check warnings on roundabouts were removed where the value being checked applied to both sides of the approach.
Deflection Min and Max Values
Fixed an issue where the deflection min and max values in the Properties dialog are not the values defined in the Standards dialog.
Dialog Box Resizing
Vehicle library, parking and junction explorers now have minimum sizes applied when resizing.
Drawing Unit Settings from Civil 3D
Drawing units settings are disabled when you have opted to get the values from the active Civil 3D drawing.
Get Units and Driving Side of the Road Settings
The option to get units and driving side of road from the drawing has been added to the start up dialog box and the Settings Wizard.
Grip Size and Tooltip Options
Removed confusing grip size and tooltip options from System Settings.
Lane Separator Road Markings
Lane separator road markings have been added to slip lanes.
Make Default Button
Removed the need to use the Make Default button when changing options that only take effect at start up.
Offset Road Markings
Fixed an issue that caused offset road markings to be offset on the wrong side on the exit side of approach roads.
Parking Tools Enhancement
Parking tools have improved messages when selecting an unsuitable entity (like a circle) to create a parallel row of bays from.
Roundabouts
Arms
Reduced the likelihood of Arms failing due to unusual geometry on the selected road alignment.
Corridor Improvement
Improved the roundabout corridor and update performance in Civil 3D.
Crossfall at Blend Point
Roundabout approach roads can now have their crossfall at the blend point taken into account when calculating curb line elevations.
Crossfall Diagrams
Roundabout crossfall diagrams in Roundabout Properties and Standard Editor pages now show profile details of the line crossfall region being defined.
Crosswalk Warning Symbols

Curb Calculation
Roundabout curb calculation can handle more abnormal geometric conditions when adjusting the change in offset from the edge of travel way with the road flaring.
Curb Flare Length
The roundabout curb flare length has been changed from a fixed length to a ratio based on the change in offset from the edge of travel way.
Exit/Entry Label
Removed the confusing Exit/Entry label on the design checks for roundabouts that applied to the adjusted alignment of the arm.
Explode to 2D Polylines
Exploding roundabouts now creates optimized 2D polylines.
Geometry
Improved the odd geometry of Roundabouts when dragging the blend and deviation point. The issue was caused by cut down calculation to increase speed and usability when dragging.
Heads Up Display
The Roundabout Heads Up Display (HUD) has improved default positioning when the approach has a slip lane.
Previous Version Drawings and Roundabout Corridors
Previous version drawings with roundabout corridors using not simple assemblies now open with the new Curb and Cut and Fill baseline enabled.

Slip Lanes
Roundabout slip lanes have been enhanced to show errors when the geometry forced the lane to enter the ICD area of the roundel.
Roundabout slip lanes now have in-canvas editing grips.
Roundabout slip lanes now have alignments and profiles for their edge of travel way lines.
Roundabout slip lanes in AutoCAD Civil 3D now create and maintain alignment profiles for the inside edge of travel-way of slip lanes.
Roundabout slip lanes now detect issues caused by very large slip lane island widths.
Roundabout standards now support custom definitions for slip lane road markings.
Roundabout slip lanes now have better warnings placed in the drawing when certain geometric layout issues prevent slip lanes from being calculated.

For Parking, repeated messages informing you that the row cannot be constructed when creating parallel rows with curved bays were removed.
Parking Row Message
Fixed an issue where some parking rows caused the following message to display repeatedly and apparently randomly appear in the command line: "Parking meters can only be created if the parking row has a path."
