... collapses. It's necessary to enter two blank lines to end up with one. I need to look into that too. I noticed that- it does crunch everything up somewhat! The button works fine, and the image appears. By that, do you mean that it's better to use the little button rather than the Upload new image for insertion button? What I've just noticed is that as I'm typing, this text is appearing on a white or pale grey background, over the default cream background. I wonder if that's significant? Edit- apparently not!

... 28 May 2012 15:54 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Many thanks for your detailed response, which is very much appreciated. You have indeed, understood my dilemma with the attached O. S. map, which is a very small copy of a 1916-1918 O. S. original. As I explained I was hoping to experiment with various methods of trying to improve the quality so that I could use it in Templot, but as you have proven, it will not work sufficiently to be of any significant use. Bye the way, I have contacted the old-maps site by email in order to buy a copy of this map at a scale of 1:2500, which I hope I may be able to use, even if it means some form of enlargement (or re-drawing parts of), However, I have not heard from them for some time now, which seems they do not wish to sell me a copy !! I shall, however, be a little more patient on this and ...
... from, so in a binary system they also know where they are going. If I'm at Waterloo, I can only go to Bank, and if I'm at Bank I can only go to Waterloo :-) Cheers Paul posted: 9 Nov 2012 14:00 from: LSWRArt As a relative newcomer to Templot who manages to use the system, but with some difficulty, my wish would be that Martin would absolutely freeze the program and not make a single change for at least the next year (unless there is a significant bug found, which has to be fixed). I struggled to learn the program and every time there is a change I have to learn something new. Because the documentation is incomplete, it is even difficult to remember what the changes are, unless I file every change note that appears on the web site. Please, Martin, think about freezing the design, no matter what requests you get for creating anoather short-cut key, using Templot on i-phones, for making monorail track, or for making ...
... for printing of construction plans? Hi Mark, The default print setting in most PDF reader programs is fit to paper. To print accurate track templates you MUST change this to no scaling in the reader program print dialog. If you have large size PDFs printed at a digital copyshop, you must specifically ask for this (preferably 3 times to be sure). Also, there is no printer calibration function for PDF output (because the same file could be printed on several different printers). So if your printer needed a significant calibration correction, the printed PDF page from the same printer will be slightly different. But unless the printer is wildly out, it shouldn't be enough to make a noticeable difference in the track gauge. I will look again at the end-run/side-run settings. It is a very complex part of the code. The easiest solution is probably just to add the word "printed" to the menu captions. I don't want to link the settings in the code because eventually I want to create a separate ...
205. Y Turnouts
... would be appreciated. Any advice on how to get started with a more accurate rendition of the Allen's Timesaver trackplan would also be appreciated. Is there any news on when Symmetrical Y Turnout Templates might be included in Templot? Thanks.

Hi Mark, Sorry, there is no news on this at present. It requires a significant rewrite of a large chunk of the generator. For not much real gain, because in truth symmetrical Y-turnouts are really quite rare on the prototype, at least in the UK. At present they can be created using the methods in this ancient tutorial: http://www.templot.com/martweb/y_symm.htm and since that was written there is now also the option of using a modified irregular half-diamond template as a symmetrical turnout. This produces a better timbered result than the method in the tutorial. Or for ...
... bend in the rail as sharp as shown. When I next see a knuckle with one of those awful nicks filed in the rail, it will be the required kick up the bum to get something done about it. It's been on the list for a long time. However, there is so much still to do to get 227a finished that I doubt I can do it very soon. In answer to Julian's question, I don't believe making a sharp bend in the wing rail (the running rail) will have any significant effect on running. Keeping a sharpish bend in the K-crossing check rail may help a bit. If you have a problem, the biggest single improvement you can make is to raise the K-crossing check rail above the level of the running rails, as is done now on the prototype. For example by using code 100 rail with the foot filed off. But don't do that if you have any locomotives with flangeless driving wheels. And keep some Elastoplast handy for when rail-cleaning. cheers, Martin ...
