Hi Marc,

When Templot asks for prototype sizes in inches, you can simply enter your scale model size in mm by prefixing it with the letter s, like this:

2_231758_280000000.png2_231758_280000000.png 

for actual model sleepers which are 50mm long. The s prefix tells Templot that you are entering the scale size instead of prototype full-size.

There are several of these prefix letters -- click the ? help button at the top right of the dialog above for more information about these conversion factors.

also how do I alter a L/H turnout to a R/H turnout as I have forgotten
Press CTRL+H or CTRL+X keys. For a curved turnout, these produce different effects -- try it and see. :)

That's the template > swap hand, or the template > invert handing menu item.

regards,

Martin.
