Yes correct. Sorry I am more used to uses who are moving from Rail Track V8i to OpenRail, that is why I didn't give more details. The OpenRail license is covering Rail Track V8i as well (SS2, SS4 an SS10) so it is free. Because of another conversation I will add that even you are running both at same time on same computer it is free. SS10 is the one you need and advised because of licensing. You can install Rail Track SS10 and OpenRail Designer on the same computer. The workflow is the same but data management is totally different and geometry tools are different as well. That is the pain because you have to learn how to do geometry with V8i and its famous ALG ! Not too difficult and limited scope when you just need regression analysis. So the workflow in SS10: Import rails from graphics: stored as geometry in the ALG (external file) Convert rails to center: COGO buffer only when you create the new alignment Do the alignment with all tools you want to: elements you define entirely, single regression, multiple regression, nudge The best is to have automatic annotation of slews and sorted line. A matter of Style assigned to alignment, Preferences (alignment style name = Preference) and settings (Geometry>view Geometry: options). So that you will get automatic and visual feedback about slews Once the alignment is completed H+V+Cant, then you can continue the modelling in OpenRail. You will import alignment from ALG.
