Import a track from Matlab

Hi,
I have a track in Matlab with x,y points that I want to recreate in CarMaker. Can I transfer this points directly in CarMaker, or should I do something else? Is there any other way to do it?
Thank you very much!

Hi @Angelos,
when the cartesian x, y points are in ASCII format, they could be directly imported in the scenario editor of CarMaker. If you long click the Road Segment icon in the Scenario Editor and click on File, you can choose the ASCII file with the said x,y points. You can find more information in User’s Guide β†’ Scenario Editor β†’ Road Editing Tools β†’ ASCII files (Cartesian coordinates).

Hello and thank you for your help!
I tried it but the file doesnt appear when i try to find it(i have it in the correct file). Should it be a specific file form?
Thank you again!

Hi Angelos,
CarMaker installation package comes with numerous example files. In your installation directory you will find certain ASCII format files with .dig extension (have a look at DEU_Stuttgart_RDE.dig). The path could look like this in your PC: C:\IPG\carmaker\win64-14.0.1\Data\Road\Examples\Measured\Scenario

Have a look at them and you can recreate your ASCII file in similar style.
