it wasn't a locked layer at all....rather I'd unticked the check box for plotting the envelope !
but while your on, how do you define the "sweep" and the "envelope"

just been using the swept path tool and its just stopped plotting the vehicle envelope ?
was fine yesterday, in fact the first one I did today was ok ....ie creating the blocks for the wheel paths, vehicles and the envelope
now just plotting the vehicle and the wheel paths ? ?...haven't changed anything
any ideas what could cause that ?

Over a certain distance the driver is supposed to maneuver the steering Wheel, narrow bends will result in heavier maneuvers and lower speed.

As I understand it, the VTS is only for slow speeds, but does anyone know what the maximum speed it can be used for is? I want to use it as a guide for designing haul roads in quarries (which aren't very fast anyway).
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes it's possible. Look at "Draw fromCoordinates" command.
