Introduction to Trayrun: Trayrun (Beta version) is a 32 bit Integrated TrayCAD and Runway Router layout design program that works with AutoCAD 2008 through 2010. Trayrun (Beta version) works on Windows 2000/ Windows XP/ Windows 7 based program and installs as an add-on to your AutoCAD system. Use the Trayrun toolbar to add Cable Tray and Runway Router to the plan by drawing a single line as the center line of the tray run. Then, with the click of a button, the program will build a 3-D wire-frame model of the cable tray and runways with all of the appropriate set of default fittings. The program allows one to change a fitting type or modify a fitting in its dimensions. The program also generates a bill of materials, places drawing details, and creates specifications.
