I am trying to take a line drawing of a rail yard and put it into our 1990's software. The software only allows (rail) tracks to be entered in horizontally, on specific lines. the bloody drawing goes diagonally, etc. So I have to ...
Oh FUCK IT! I can't even explain it without pictures!
Bloody hell!
I do NOT want to do this. Someone, take it away!!!
This may be tedious, but for lack of a better solution could you put in the diagonal lines as a series of small steps?
YES!!!! Good catch Evo. It's called, in railroadese, a ladder. BUT! I am going from 8 tracks to 16 tracks and they ARE NOT STRAIGHT! And when I think I get it started, I find myself cramped again and having to rearrange everything again.
Even on paper, I have spent more time with the eraser than with the pencil.
Daughter just walked in. Maybe she can make it work out. I don't think I can see it anymore.
I would post a pic, but it's for a client. Googled. This on is simple compared to what I am dealing with. Throw two ladders down the middle of the main yard, one L-R and one R-L.
