... topic: 3435 Output>export a file [to .png] posted: 19 May 2019 10:04 from: Alan Kettlewell Hi, When creating a .png file using the 'Output>export a file' menu I find that any three way turnouts do not appear on the .png image. Just wondering if I'm not doing something right or if it's a bug. Cheers..

Has anyone tried to get a manual for Windows or any Office application in the last 10 year? The most recent MS manual I have is for Excel dated 1993-1994. Even the mighty Bill G's empire has not relied on paper for many years. That has not prevented their dominance of the PC operating system market. I may not like the no manual policy but I have to live with it. Other manuals for their software cost real money from other specialist publishers.

... topic: 2668 Turnout operating units posted: 3 Apr 2015 20:10 from: madscientist I came across a nice demonstration of turnout building, where the switch blade activation was done by bringing a pin, soldered to the blade, and then run through a slot in the slide chair to a a connector strip immediately underneath the sleeper. Haven't seen this before, but looked very neat and had the advantage that the hole in the baseboard is under a sleeper as hence hidden and no ballast etc can fall down Has any one seen this used in earnest, this particular example was a demonstration unit rathe then installed on a layout Dave posted: 12 Apr 2015 18:03 from: madscientist 97 views and no comments !! posted: 12 Apr 2015 18:09 from: Martin Wynne madscientist wrote: 97 views and no comments !!

... a simple example of what I mean. (Deliberately so there is no easy drop in curve) I have say 2 shed roads which are fixed, lengthen one of the roads and insert a turnout. What is the best way to now link the other road to the turnout? To date I have had to put plain track on either end of the gap and then fiddle around with length and radius until they meet neatly: I presume there is a better way? Attachment: attach_2865_3474_linking_question .box 161 posted: 3 Aug 2019 10:28 from: Tom Allen i'm a pretty new beginner myself so i doubt my answer is correct. I would create a "branch track" and "curve" it into position to intersect the road, then adjust both tracks to meet with the "length" command.

I needed 0.8mm thick timbering to match what I had started using and got some 0.8mm (1 /32") plywood from the local aero modelling shop and slit it by hand, which is not difficult with that thickness.

... mm so they are compatible with standard chaired track construction. The reason was to prove that there is an alternative method of building the common crossing for those who are happy to build common crossings in the copperclad construction method, rather than a free standing method For those wishing for added detail the following can be used Bridge chairs, These are used from the transition of block chairs (in either the common crossing or additional slide chair packs) to standard chairs where there is not enough room for a standard chair (either side of 10 used per turnout) these are £8.50 per 100 so after deducting the cost of standard chairs add a few pence to the bill Common crossing chairs A pack contains a set of 5 different sizes (1 -5 ,6 ,7 ,8& 10) At £4.50 if you can use the whole pack then 90p a turnout but a saving of appx 8 chairs per turnout Additional switch chairs, a pack contains one left and one right hand set (plenty of bits left over) £2.25 per turnout and ...
... topic: 3499 output elements- new settings and print preview posted: 10 Sep 2019 20:51 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin, I seem to be finding my way back to Templot again! There's a couple of features that would be quite nice to have, if they're not already there somewhere:- When printing the background templates, any platforms with a solid infill obliterate any text, such as timber numbering or "blunt nose" etc. Could it be arranged so that the platform is always underneath any text? Hatching partially solves this, but even so, the text then becomes chopped up. The other one, which I'm sure is an option somewhere, is to not show the template number on the output, so just "A11" instead of "PL172.A11".

It's been over 10 years since you joined, and good to hear from you for the first time. I think that may be a record. I don't think it's possible to lose the toolbars entirely, but if you have done they should reappear if you restart Templot normally without using your saved program preferences. I'm guessing that you have lost only the bottom row by inadvertently clicking the 1 row button. Having them all on one long row needs a wide-screen monitor. If you click the 2 rows button, they should come back ...

... topic: 2792 Irregular Diamonds and Making Transition posted: 26 Nov 2015 10:58 from: grob1234 Hi Martin, OK, so I understand from the brief RMW chat that for an irregualr crossing, I have to join the tracks up manually. So here is what I did: templot%20q2.png Which became this, after I erased the underlying tracks: templot%20q3.png OK, fine! But the timbering on the crossing looks 'weird'. How can I sort that out? Also, would the same principles apply if I wanted to create an irregular single/double slip within existing crossing plain track? I have watched the video on making slips and I think I just about have it, although thats for making ladder style crossings. My track plan seems to just have random slips all over the place, hence the need for the irregular ones. Hope my words make sense!

... time tomorrow, I shall be in exactly in the same position as you. I think I have procured an HP A3 ink jet printer from a local Computer Aladdin's Cave.

... Kenneth Becket wrote: Depends on whether it is thought necessary to assign keyboard shortcuts, couldn't menu items alone be sufficient? Yes, they are necessary! If you'd ever suffered seriously from RSI, you too might realise how necessary they are! I can't use a mouse for more than about 20/30 minutes, and use a pen/tablet both at home and work- I don't even have a mouse connected at home. Besides, it's really irritating to have a keyboard with a gadzillion keys, the average number of 10 digits spread across two hands, and not to be able to use all of them instead of just permanently clutching a mouse or pen in the same position Martin- those changes don't look too daunting. The main change I'll need to remember is the F9 becoming Shift-F9. I like the idea of being able to change the V angle without changing the switch, and of course I didn't know that there was already a way of doing that! If you're at the stage of considering keyboard shortcut changes does that mean ...
... topic: 2402 Problems adding stored templates posted: 10 Feb 2014 16:26 from: wcampbell23 HELP! I created several turnout templates and stored them in individual box files. I started a new project and then attempted to add the stored templates as additional templates. I also attempted to add the stored templates as library templates. The first template loaded appears OK in the storage box which then looks like this: 54_101119_050000000.png The "add library" button is then clicked and a second file selected and opened- as I understand the current documentation, this should add it to the storage box and the list of library templates. The storage box then looks like this: 54_101121_140000000.png So, second template appears- BUT- the first template has gone! The same problem occurs when the "add file" option is used. I have tried this several times with Templot being quit and restarted so there is no left over from the previous attempt or other templates loaded. Is this a problem with Templot's file handling or have I missed something obvious? Any assistance ...

Tim posted: 9 Dec 2010 11:56 from: Martin Wynne Hi Tim, Welcome to Templot Club.____ The static "track plan tutorial" is at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/tut5a.htm and uses version 074b of Templot. To follow it you need to be using version 074b. This tutorial is now 10 years old and as soon as I can I intend to abolish it and rewrite it for the later versions of Templot.____ The "starter track plan" video is here: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/flash/starter/em_starter.html and was created using a later version of Templot. To follow it you need to be using version 091c. Likewise for all the other videos.____ While learning Templot you can swap to and fro between the versions, just download ...
256. TDV feedback
... topic: 1650 TDV feedback posted: 10 Oct 2011 16:11 from: leo_sandstrom Hi This is a bit overdue but I feel that its finally time for me to provide some feedback. Ill start by saying that I have finally scaled the initial learning cliff, and I now have some basic understanding of how the program works. But to be honest I have not delved to deep into advanced track templates yet due to a lack of time. When I start the normal Templot as a new user I was faced with a program panel. Pressing the X in the top hand corner closes the program, quess what the first thing I did, I closed Templot because I wanted to get rid of the program panel. For a Windows user it makes no sense to press the workpad button when you start the program. Look at 95% of the office programs, you start with a blank screen and possibly some tooltip help and then you start working. (or an empty template) A great example is Solidworks where you start with a ribbon ...
... from: RichardS Hello Martin, thank you so much for doing those bits. I think I prefer the B6. I had overlooked transition curves I must admit and hadn't really realised how 'fixed' it all looked. As you might surmise Bosmellin 9 is the 9th attempt- but there were some #As and Bs too in earlier manifestations! I think I was so pleased to have completed something (almost). When I've attended to the sleepers I will post an update. Thanks again. Richard posted: 24 Jun 2017 10:37 from: RichardS Good morning, here is an update but not the one I was hoping to provide. I had decided that I would modify the curves to ease them a bit and move the points to the left along the plan. So far so good. I spent some time looking at transition curves and trying them out on a test plan. Then moved onto my new v12. And this happened. App went unresponsive after the lines appeared but now seems to be stable but I am loathe to touch ...

Martin, as ever thank you for a comprehensive reply and I take your point re Windows. It isn't the best (by a long way) and any software written prior to 1995 isn't likely to comply with it.

... , I see that you have adopted the GOG-F standard. Are you aware than many (most?) handbuilders of 0 gauge track now prefer the 0-MF standard? This gives much better running with modern Slater's-pattern wheels. There has been much discussion about this on other forums such as RMweb. I believe the Gauge 0 Guild will be adopting 0-MF in the next edition of their standards. 0-MF is 31.5mm gauge with 1.5mm flangeways. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Sep 2017 10:07 from: Andrew Howlett Many thanks Tony, Much appreciated, Andrew.
