Two questions: 1) How do I calculate how much the 6' way needs to be increased for curves? Please don't mention versines, but I presume that there is a simple relationship between radius widening. 2) How do I apply it in Templot to a transition curve? I presumed that I use Slew? Which I've tried, but although it moved the tracks further apart at the transition, brought the tracks closer together at the end of the curve?? So I've managed it by splitting the track into 3 sections: one as per the entry to the curve, 3mm further apart and a transition between the two. |

If you post a .box file we can see what you mean and suggest a solution.  regards, Martin. |
