Creating a New Rail Job
Overview
There are two ways of creating road/rail jobs:
Typing them in manually by using the Alignment Editor app.
OR
Converting data created in a design package.
Data can be typed in and edited with Alignment Editor. Refer to "44 Roads -
Alignment Editor" for information on how to enter data manually.
The Alignment editor app supports various different formats like dxf,
LandXml, MxGenio, Terramodel, Carlson.
The Design to Field component of Infinity offers converters from several road/
rail design and CAD packages. Several design packages also include a built-in
converter to Roads/Rail. As different design packages follow different philoso-
phies in representation, creation and storage of data the conversion process
differs slightly.
Infinity can be found on the Infinity DVD.

Installing all necessary Software
Infinity runs under WindowsXP or Windows Vista and can only be installed suc-
cessfully if the user is logged in as the Administrator. To install Infinity, run the
setup file from the DVD and follow the instructions.
To prepare the track design for use on the instrument successfully, the data
must first be converted from its original format to an onboard job. This conver-
sion is achieved using Design to Field, a component of Infinity which is auto-
matically installed with Infinity.
The field importers are used by Design to Field to read in the track design.
These importers are installed separately and have the file extension *.rri.
