SlotForge Track Builder - Track Planner for all tracksystems
#5

This App is now renamed to SlotForge Circuit !

Thanks to Kevan, we have export as dxf/svg! Spent quite some time to get it to generate a working .dxf file. They open for me in Illustrator and Fusion, with layers :)

Major update with Routed Track Implementation:

With Routed Tracks, you can design a wooden slot-car circuit around your own dimensions:
  • Choose your construction: separate wooden pieces or slots routed directly into a tabletop.
  • Set the dimensions: lane count, slot spacing, edge clearances, board thickness, slot depth, and braid or copper-tape dimensions.
  • Shape the circuit: create straights, circular corners, flowing curves and S-bends. Drag handles, enter exact coordinates, or bridge gaps between sections.
  • Plan the table: define its size, position it and lock it while designing.
  • Check the layout: see tight-radius warnings, slot folds, open ends, overlaps and table-edge clearances.
  • Save reusable sections: build your own named routed-track packs with matching artwork.
  • Preview and measure: run animated cars and calculate lane lengths and material estimates.
  • Export your design: generate PDF reports, SVG drawings or full-size DXF geometry for CAD software. Compact SVG scales are available too.
  • Prepare it for SlotForge Timing: export lane geometry and animation profiles for a compatible Timing importer.
The SVG/DXF files provide construction geometry; you still configure cutters, cutting depths and CNC toolpaths in your CAD/CAM software.

Download the newer version 0.3.9 to enjoy these upgrades [img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]
