Autodesk Vehicle Tracking SP1 Fixed Issues

Manually loading and running Autodesk Vehicle Tracking

If the installation process does not appear to work correctly, you may need to load and run Autodesk Vehicle Tracking manually. For more information, please see the following topics in the Help:

Unresponsive host application

When you start a supported host application after installing Autodesk Vehicle Tracking, and the host application appears to become unresponsive, it may be because a hidden dialog box is waiting for a response from you. Please use Alt+Tab to switch to and review the open dialog boxes on your machine and reply to any prompts as required.

Additional item in Programs and Features dialog box

On 64-bit operating systems, two items are created for Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2017 in the Programs and Features dialog box in the Windows Control Panel. These entries are Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2017 (32 bit) and Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2017 (64 bit). The 32-bit entry includes the support for MicroStation.

Supported host applications

After you install Autodesk Vehicle Tracking, it is available in the supported host applications that were installed before Autodesk Vehicle Tracking if their license types are compatible with the Autodesk Vehicle Tracking license type.

Any Autodesk Vehicle Tracking license type can be used with MicroStation, regardless of how the MicroStation licensing is configured. For more information, see Supported license combinations.

The supported host applications are the following products:

If you install AutoCAD or supported AutoCAD-based host applications after installing Autodesk Vehicle Tracking, you must perform the following procedure in order to enable Autodesk Vehicle Tracking in those applications.

To enable Autodesk Vehicle Tracking in AutoCAD or supported AutoCAD-based host applications that are installed after Autodesk Vehicle Tracking:

  4. Click Uninstall and follow the on-screen instructions.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each relevant Autodesk Vehicle Tracking host application.
    Note: A separate host application item is not created in the Programs and Features dialog box for MicroStation support. The Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2017 (32 bit) entry, which is created on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines, includes the support for MicroStation.
  6. Unload the Autodesk Vehicle Tracking customization group from AutoCAD and supported AutoCAD-based host applications.

To unload the Autodesk Vehicle Tracking customization group from AutoCAD and supported AutoCAD-based host applications:

  1. Start the host application.
  2. Enter CUIUNLOAD at the command line to open the Load/Unload Customizations dialog box.
  3. Select the Vehicle Tracking customization group in the Loaded Customization Groups list.
  4. Click Unload and then click Close.

Transferring Autodesk Vehicle Tracking Data Between File Types

Transferring Autodesk Vehicle Tracking data between DWG™ files created with AutoCAD® and supported AutoCAD-based host applications and DGN™ files created with MicroStation®

If you use AutoCAD or a supported AutoCAD-based host application to open a DGN file that contains Autodesk Vehicle Tracking data, the Autodesk Vehicle Tracking data will not be accessible. Likewise, if you use MicroStation to open a DWG file that contains Autodesk Vehicle Tracking data, the Autodesk Vehicle Tracking data will not be accessible.

To access the data in either situation, you must first export the Autodesk Vehicle Tracking data using the source host application, and then import it using the target host application. For more information, see the following topics in the Help:

File Compatibility Between Autodesk Vehicle Tracking Versions and AutoTrack from Savoy Computing Services Ltd

Compatibility between drawings

Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2017 can open DWG files that contain older versions of AutoTrack data (pre-AutoTrack v12.00 data). The older AutoTrack data will be converted to the new format when the drawing is opened. This is a one-way conversion. After the drawing that contains the converted data is saved, the data cannot be converted back to the older format by re-opening the drawing in an older version of AutoTrack (pre-AutoTrack v12.00).

Note: AutoTrack from Savoy Computing Services Ltd is not the same as Autodesk's feature called AutoTrack™ that exists within Autodesk® AutoCAD®.

Compatibility between library and standards files

Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2017 can open AutoTrack (v9.00 and later) library and standards files. If you save these files in Autodesk Vehicle Tracking, they cannot be opened again in AutoTrack.
