301. 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 ...

A tin goes a long way. posted: 3 May 2018 08:54 from: Michael Henfrey I'm not sure, I just seen it recommended a few times from different people, I've gone abit too far now to switch it over so hopefully it should be ok. I will have a look at the Iso Alcohol version though.. Yeah I have stabbed myself a few times so far but I reckon that for every 2 chairs I put on 1 will break on the underside posted: 3 May 2018 10:16 from: Jim Guthrie It could be that the problem of the chairs breaking is not with them, but with the rail section if the web of the rail has got thicker for some reason- i.e. if the rail the chairs were designed for is no longer available and a close substitute has been sourced.

... and also ensures that once answered, at least the answers are there for others to see so hopefully this reduces the extent to which you get asked the same questions over again. I get most of my Templot questions answered just by searching Templot club. If this user is not prepared to post his question here, then that really is his problem. As already commented, we all want you to be able to spend time developing Templot and try and reduce the time you spend on support. Pete posted: 18 Mar 2009 10:24 from: Templot User -- --- from Mike Johnson -- --- My thoughts are that not having a standard Windows interface is a big problem for new users. You may not like Windows, but its a standard that most people know, and new users expect programs to work that way. Almost everything in Templot works in an alien way, so it takes 10 times as long to do anything. If I want to move the end of something, after pressing F4 I expect to ...
... 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 - ...

306. Irish 3foot in 7mm
... topic: 2412 Irish 3foot in 7mm posted: 23 Feb 2014 09:04 from: Phil O Hi All 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? Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.

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 ...
... yet studied it in detail, but two points to make initially -- Why did you set 8ft way as the track centres (52.67mm)? It's not wrong, but you need to have a reason. I think the majority of scissors crossovers would be at the standard 6ft way spacing. That makes the construction clearances rather tight, but on the other hand widening the spacing affects the surrounding track plan. You need a wider spacing of course on sharply curved tracks for vehicle clearance, but this one is only down to 10 chains radius and the standard spacing would be sufficient (that's over 8ft radius in P4). Your method of creating the initial outline produces a non-symmetrical scissors. Again it's not wrong, but I think the majority of scissors crossovers would be symmetrical unless there is an obvious need otherwise. To be symmetrical the CTRL-5 TXP position on all 4 turnouts needs to be coincident at the centre of the diamond. I've written before about creating a scissors crossover, most recently in this topic: Bristol Temple Meads. ...

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 ...

Please could you draw a very simple DXF file in DoubleCad on your system and post it here. i.e. just a few straight lines at random. Thanks.

311. Blackwell Road
... topic: 987 Blackwell Road posted: 10 Dec 2009 01:48 from: ClikC I've been working on this for the past few days. Still needs a good tidy up and a session of timber nudging, along with adding the slip roads to the diamond for the yard (Which I've already completed on an older version of the plan). The layout itself is a small parcels depot and TMD based loosely in the location of Blackwell road in Carlisle and primarily serving the Cumbrian Coast Line circa 1974/5. Bottom most track is just a loop with holding sidings, the track above it exits to the hidden storage. The first point (C10) serves the TMD which features a two road shed, refueling road/ head-shunt and a siding (A7) for a couple of TTA wagons of diesel. I'd like to hear any comments and suggestions regarding tidying up the plan. And while I'm without doubt that the overall plan is highly unrealistic, I'd appreciate input as to anything I can do to increase realism overall. For instance ...
... 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. Close it when you have seen enough, and restore ...
... for a while, but I thought that I would load the latest version and try out the new NLS mapping function. I tried to open Templot, but when it tried to check for the latest version, there was an error message "Sorry, unable to connect to the Templot website. Please check your internet connect and then try again." I restarted the computer, but with the same result. I then manually downloaded and installed version 2.15.d, but with the same result. This was on the laptop running Windows 10 home 64-bit version. I then tried to open Templot 2.13.a on the desktop computer, also running Windows 10 home 64-bit version, but get the same result.

Also that it was 10 years old and likely to be out-of-date for modern versions of Lazarus.

316. 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.

It's essential to tell the printing firm to set "No page scaling" in the printer dialog. This is not the usual default setting, so you need to emphasize this point.
