Ok, so I'm currently doing a fortress where the ramp to the trade depot spirals upwards around the central stairway. Instead of it being a square spiral like I normally do, I'd like to do it with nice curves instead.
Unfortunately, I like everything to be neat and tidy, so whenever I try and designate a nice curve, I end up getting pissed at it not being neat enough and delete it all to start again.
Anyone got a good way of making a nice curved walkway?

I redirect you to Moosey's Sphere Planning Tool.

To make it work for a wagon, just add in a tile on the insides of all your line breaks so every tile is attached cardinally, then surround it by a similar cardinally-attached line on both sides of your main line. This'll leave just enough room for wagons to manuever as 3x3 creatures that can't travel diagonally.

Ooooooh, handy.

If you designate with "for each tile / tweak"... you can use a script like

condition:
xy_distance_to_cursor > 10 AND xy_distance_to_cursor <15 and cursor_z=z

action:
designate_for_mining

Then you can pretty easily get a nice circle.

I just make a circle in paint and copy it by hand. I have never messed around with macros or utilities.

Yeah, I'm the same actually, but I figure if someone's looking for assistance then they don't plot out their own. I'm not even exactly sure how macros work, although apparently in d## versions (or at the least d17) you can record your own and it'll just follow your keystrokes every time you input it.

This.
