... topic: 1367 System crashes when zooming and manipulating with large background file size posted: 10 Feb 2011 22:10 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Sorry to say I think I have found a fault that crashes my system. The crash occurs when I use one of my large size bitmap files of Birmingham New Street as background in Templot, (with, I might add, no other application running on my PC). The bitmap file loads perfectly OK and provided I do not zoom in too much I can carry on working ad-infinitum (as far as I can estimate). However, when I zoom in very close for alignment purposes, and try to manipulate the control template, it crashes the system. Without the large background file loaded, Templot works fine right up to, and including the largest zoom factors, it is only when I have the large file version of background on the workpad does the problem occur. Please note, if I use smaller background files, these do not seem to give rise to the ...
... special plastic moulds and cast rail parts- not cheap, I bet. But it does make up into an excellent looking turnout, and not a gauge in sight. Jim.

If two dimensions are given on a drawing it usually means that one is the maximum -- the dimension shouldn't measure more than this. And the other is the minimum -- the dimension shouldn't measure less than this. If it measures somewhere in between the two, it will be satisfactory. Sorry, I don't recognize which drawing you mean. If you provide a web link to the drawing to ...
284. Irish 3foot in 7mm

Will using one of the already extant 7mm gauges reduced from 32mm work? Thanks in advance for any enlightenment. Phil Last edited on 23 Feb 2014 10:03 by Phil O posted: 23 Feb 2014 09:22 from: Martin Wynne Phil O wrote: Can anyone please help with track standards for Irish 3 foot gauge using 7mm scale, 21 mm track gauge and Slaters wheels. Will using one of the already extant 7mm gauges reduced from 32mm work? Hi Phil, The answer is yes. For sharp narrow-gauge curves I would suggest starting from 0-MF 31.5mm rather than 0-SF 31.2mm. So that means reducing everything by the difference (31.5- 21)= 10.5mm reduction. So back-to-back for Slaters wheels is 29.2- 10.5= 18.7mm. For other wheels ...

... all of the features first. I guess I used only the basics of Templot and because I landed up doing a lot of rework, I have probably not done it the most efficient way. I couldn't for example get the move group to work properly so landed up moving my goods yard a template at a time many times as I moved it around the design. The issue that I have at the moment though is that I have managed to print out the background templates on my second attempt- my first produced nothing after 10 hours! but the background shape that I was working to has not printed. To be able to fully determine whether I have met my design aims, I need to see both the "original" and the trackplan on top of it and study it for a few weeks. Is there a way to get the background shape (picture) in my case printed? I thought I had clicked the right options but apparently not. At some stage I will also need to decide where to cut the design for transportation as ...
... only background templates can be exported): On the DXF dialog, click selected group only. Change all the DXF colours to none, except for timber centre-lines and timber numbering. Set mm or inches for your preferred units (these will be model sizes, not prototype). Save the DXF file. 8. Open the DXF file in a text editor such as Windows Notepad (DXF files are plain text). 9. Search for the word "ENTITIES" and delete everything above it in the file. 10. You should now have a long list looking like this short extract for each timber.

Still, I'd like to be able to print from within Templot so I can get the benefit of its calibration facility. 2129_092005_170000000.png Templot is here running on Windows 7 Pro (64 bit O/S) with SP1 installed. I've tried to eliminate possible sources of interference by re-booting and invoking Templot as the only running application, and with as few background processes as I can manage. Templot version is 2.07.a Other applications are printing perfectly satisfactorily to my Samsung CLP-320 laser via the LAN connection to the computer to which it is attached. I even tried re-adding it as a new printer, as per the dialog's recommendation.

290. Another one lost
... how to control it and be comfortable doing so. You drive a car, the car doesn't drive you, and it is no different than if it's a camera or Templot. You have to spend time familiarising yourself with the tool you are using, practice using and become proficient in it's operation. An hour isn't going to cut it unfortunately, and no "certificate in Engineering" is going to do that for you. Pertinent that the young man doesn't say how long it took to gain this accolade. My students spend 10 sessions in class and receive a certificate at the end, but a photographer it does not necessarily make. All it shows is that they have achieved a level required of the particular class. Keep doing what you do, let the Temploteers fight your cause and we'll enjoy the fruits of all our labours.

There's probably a good chance that if you print off the Templot file, it won't overlay exactly your C&L template. However, I chose to keep the diamond crossing angle at 1:4.5 rather than make it fit my copy of the paper template. The centre V-crossings work better at 1:7.5, ...
293. A Pug for Paul?
... I expect to be uploading a new version every few days, each one filling in another gap. Or creating a new one. But what I don't want is to get support requests such as "I'm trying to do Bristol Temple Meads in the dev version, and I can't seem to get the platform edges to line up alongside the scissors crossover, please help". The dev version isn't ready to be used like that. Stick with 091c for the present. regards, Martin. posted: 16 May 2011 21:10 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I think it's reasonable for us to expect a development version to be just that. I see it more as a means of trying things out and possibly reporting bugs- that's what Beta software is for! I certainly wouldn't dream of using it to design, oh, Bristol Temple Meads, as a random example then finding that our lovingly crafted half acre track plans don't work at a later date, or that we lose data randomly. You tell us which bits are new, and we'll ...
... 13 from: Hayfield Martin Thank you yet again, yes I am aware that the length disparity between EM and P4 turnouts and crossings, we had a chat some years ago when a Timbertrack fret for a diamond crossing was (and think still are) titled P4/EM size, I had to alter the fret (from memory) either in 2 or 4 places. It was thought that turnouts could be built with little alteration. Thanks also for the information regarding the wing rails As for the pips, a sharp number 10 scalpel blade will sort these (34) out. My thought process is that using the bases will be stronger than individual timbers, plus a bit quicker than cutting timbers from their frets and to length if needed. My only concern is the difference in timber length on the 6 timbers and the missing end one on the heal (which is easily resolved). Just wondered if Len and Jol were using a specific prototypical design Looking at the plan, I could achieve the alterations by removing 2 x 32mm Timbers and add ...
... topic: 2298 New templates from C&L in 00, EM and P4 posted: 28 Aug 2013 10:04 from: Martin Wynne C&L have finally released a huge new range of printed templates, created by Len Newman: http://www.finescale.org.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=631 These are excellent REA bullhead template drawings with full chair detail. If you scan these templates (private use only) and load them into Templot as picture shapes, you can overlay the Templot equivalents and create fully chaired versions of your Templot track plans. (For curved turnouts, use the image wrapping function in the background shapes to curve the scanned image to match.) Here I have done that with the P4 B-8 template and overlaid the equivalent Templot template. To create that in Templot, change to a generic-type V-crossing and convert RAM to CLM crossing angles. I'm hoping these few example screenshots fall within fair dealing for copyright. These templates represent years of work by Len Newman - ...

I think it was this that first drew to my attention some of the problems that arise from a wheelset passing over a loose heel joint. There is also a section in the HSE's publication about mine trackwork dealing with loose heel switches containing the following commentary: "136 A loose heel switch can open inadvertently when a vehicle passes over in the facing direction of ...
... topic: 3571 would you like a first look at Templot3? posted: 10 Dec 2019 11:41 from: Martin Wynne There has been a recent flurry of activity around Templot3, the open-source version of Templot. If you would like to see what that is all about, there is a new option in Templot2 version 225d: 2_100619_180000000.png If you click it, your running version of Templot2 will minimize to the taskbar, and Templot3 will open in its place. If you are in the middle of some important work, it would be a good idea to save it first. This is not a finished version of Templot3, there is still a lot of work in progress. But it is fully functional and usable apart from the missing functions -- no sketchboard, no PDF exports, and a few others. Don't get confused -- try using a different trackpad colour scheme from the one in Templot2. Notice too that the yellow hard-hat icon is green for Templot3.
