... which can be applied in Templot, similar to the effect in older versions of Windows (ME, 98SE and older). (This problem may not apply to all graphics cards.) Because we like to zoom in much closer over scanned backgrounds than is normally the case when viewing images, I now recommend that you stay with full-colour images for picture shapes, unless: a) your system is older or slower (Windows ME or earlier), or b) you have a monochrome laser printer and want to print the image as part of the printed templates. Not all such printers will convert the colour image to monochrome. You could if you wish save two separate BMP files from the scanner and swap to the monochrome version in the picture shape just before printing. Otherwise it is better to use a full colour (24/32 bit) BMP image for picture shapes. However, I'm not sure that I updated this advice in the program Help notes, so I must go and do it. regards, Martin. posted: ...
342. OT-Mac Computers
... . After that the keys revert to the Mac system- F8 is spaces and so on. I tend to use the menus most of the time so I don't miss the missing F keys. One small problem that I do have is that when I use the printer in Templot, windows seems to grab the printer and refuse to let go. The only way I can get the printer to work again on the Mac side is to reboot the computer. Not a major problem, it just means I have to organise my printing sessions. regards John posted: 1 Mar 2008 00:26 from: BeamEnds Just a note to remind everyone about Linux (Mac OS 10 is a flavour of Linux/Unix by the way- what out for those viruses!)- and it's *all* free!

... of any length to any template, which is then included in the file. For notes about the entire box, you could perhaps add them to the memo notes for the first template. Or maybe create a dummy template called say "notes" simply to contain the notes: 2_151355_270000000.png The memo can be added and edited to the control template before it is stored, or you can add/edit the memo notes for any template on the storage box at edit> edit memo notes... menu item. You can print or PDF a list of all the memo notes in a file at box> print template info> memo notes only menu item. I will look at an option to have the memo notes displayed on the trackpad immediately below the template name label. It's going to look very messy unless zoomed in, but it could be turned on and off as required. If you wanted fully annotated screenshots with formatted and coloured text, you could use the sketchboard to add such text items to the trackplan, and save an .sk9 sketchboard ...
344. Double Junction
... with other components of a complex can cause slight errors in placement which requires you to start doing a bit of heaving and shoving when it comes to laying the diamond crossing. Jim. posted: 27 May 2010 09:40 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ken, I agree with Jim -- start with the diamond. For a diamond-crossing to line up correctly it is essential that the two V-crossings are exactly the correct distance* apart. So it's best to start by installing the two vees. If you print a rails-only copy of the template on tracing paper**, you can lay it on the rail tops to check the vee positions and alignment before going any further. If you print some extra copies of the template on thin card or 160gsm paper, you can cut them out along the rail edges with a craft knife and try them against the rails in various positions to check alignments as you build up the diamond-crossing. *this means using the correct template for the track gauge. Don't try to ...

Hi Mark, If you are in a country which uses a comma as a decimal separator (decimal point), please delete all DXF files created with any version of Templot prior to TDV build# 4435. There was a bug in the DXF generator -- the Windows Regional Setting for the decimal separator character was used in the DXF file. In TDV# 4435 and later, a dot (full stop, period) is used in all cases regardless of the Windows ...
346. iPlot
... to define a diamond crossover. But I've been waiting for Martin to bring out the next pug with the curved crossover algorithms, so the current iPad version is a bit ropey here. One function that has been missed out is the use of scans. But it is replaced by the photos function. Simply take a photo with the built in camera, use hold pinch-zoom to correct any perspective errors and pinch-zoom to get it to the same scale as you template. One final advantage is you don't need to print out. You can simply put a clear protective layer over your iPad, select the hold mode, and build on top of it. I have for sale rolls which you purchase at the same time as the App. Now there are a couple of disadvantages. You can't print out from iPlot. You have to transfer you file back to Templot and print out that way. Because transition curves are different, they are converted to many templates rather than the one that iPlot uses. The second disadvantage is actually to do ...
... package can do and practices that are not uncommon for prototypes that I (will someday) model. I'm excited about Martin's decision to begin an open source project for Templot. I know a little about software and hope to contribute to that effort. I manufacture and sell knuckle couplers in my spare time as Sergent Engineering and I recently placed my coupler designs in the public domain to ensure long term availability. I wish more companies would do the same rather than just letting their specialty products die. I'm also excited about the 3D printing conversations taking place. I have been 3D printing and investment casting couplers for about 15 years. I have often wished I could design trackwork in something like Templot and then 3D print it. I think technology is finally to the point where that is practical. Pleasure to meet you, Frank posted: 7 Aug 2018 18:21 from: Phil O Hi Frank, Welcome to the happy band of Temploteers.

... Even so, Templot hogged practically the whole of Windows95 when running. That's no longer a problem in current Windows versions, but Templot is very old code in places. p.s. don't muddle up the trackbed edges with dummy templates on the adjacent track centre-line. You will get in a complete muddle. regards, Martin. posted: 25 Jan 2016 22:13 from: Gordon S Don't worry about it at all, Martin. Now I know that's the way it is, I can live with it. Just printed out a template and it does what I want it to do. A dotted line at 35mm and the trackbed edges at 90mm. Many thanks to you and Andrew for a solution that will cover 99% of my needs. You know me, I'm only a few mm away from being in a muddle at any time.... posted: 25 Jan 2016 22:21 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: Of course if we had the option to set a trackbed width that stayed constant... ...

352. Trackbed edge
... topic: 2083 Trackbed edge posted: 17 Oct 2012 20:32 from: Ray Hughes Looking at Barry Norman's book the (4mm) distance from track centre line to trackbed edge is 31mm which seems to be about the default setting for Templot. However, Barry's measurement includes 9mm for the cess. The trackbed edge is ideal for marking how close the scenery can encroach on the track. Is there an easy way to mark the edge of the ballast shoulder- i.e. where the underlay edge should be, without re-printing all the templates with an amended trackbed edge distance (to exclude the cess)? A search for trackbed edge, cess and ballast shoulder couldn't offer any guidance. Ray Last edited on 17 Oct 2012 20:33 by Ray Hughes posted: 17 Oct 2012 22:11 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ray, Ballast shoulders and cess are not directly supported at present. The trackbed edges function is intended to create a guide line for cutting open-top baseboards, rather than anything based on the prototype. A proper function ...
353. Circle segmentation
... 26 from: Martin Wynne p.s. Gordon, If you need longer lines extending beyond the track ends, make double-track outside your curve. Draw to that template, then delete it. There are other ways of doing the same thing. For example you could peg dummy centre-line-only straight templates at each end of your curve, and then rotate each one by 90 degrees. They should intersect on the radial centre, and you can adjust the lengths of each using F4. You can change all the printed line thicknesses at print> printed line thicknesses> set any. Martin. posted: 1 Mar 2011 10:06 from: Gordon S Hi Martin, thanks for that. I've generated the segment lines without problem and they'll provide perfect cutting guides, but somehow or other I've managed to move the eight lines off the plan and now need to put them back on the radial centre. I've been into backgound shapes amd move all, but it is asking for a dimension. So, a couple of questions. How do ...

... topic: 2500 Important- printer settings posted: 2 Aug 2014 13:22 from: Martin Wynne Modern printers are getting lots of extra functions. Most of which we don't need when printing track construction templates. It is important that the data sent from Templot is printed exactly as supplied, and is not interfered with in any way by a printer driver trying to be too helpful. This is getting more and more difficult to ensure. For example, if your printer has a setting like this: 2_020814_450000000.png please make sure that it is unticked when printing templates from Templot. It is probably ticked by default. Make sure that everything is set to Normal Size, No Scaling, No Fitting, 100%, etc. Even if you have done a printer calibration, please check that the printer has not interfered with the data before using a template. You can do that by carefully measuring the grid lines. regards, Martin. Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser. Templot ...

Regarding turnouts at A I took these from the list at the top of the switch options which said BH or FB so I thought I'd use a couple for variety may be. I'll change them accordingly. Please forgive me I'm good with the software but poor on advanced (to me) techincal terms. Agreed I'd printed out a couple of templates and can see the alignment errors at B turnouts. To help, the prototype is proof house junction approaching New street station which would be to the right hand side of the layout. Starting from the top line on the plan is the Derby down then the Derby up, then the lower 2 lines are the Stour down and up lines. These are the main lines.With the branch/mains to walsall/Bescott and X-city lines making the tighter inner curves going away on the right hand ...
... by "clash". What error messages were displayed? what is a default printer or a pdf generator? Your default printer is the one which Windows uses if you don't specify any particular printer. Many users have more than one printer on their system. If you have only one printer, it is automatically the default printer. "Default" anything means the choice which is used in the absence of any instructions to the contrary. A PDF generator is a computer program which pretends to be a printer. But instead of printing the page on paper it creates it as a PDF file and saves it on your computer. You can then print it for real at a later date by using a program called a PDF reader. The two common ones are Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader. You can set a PDF generator to be your default printer if you wish, instead of your real printer. This is handy if you have run out of ink and want to print everything later. The tutorial video after I have carried out the "Control" ...

Hi Brian, No, it's a fair cop. I have forgotten to include an option to turn off the picture shape borders for sketchboard and image file exports. There is an option tickbox for the borders for print and PDF output, but not for sketchboard and image files -- borders are always on there. I will add the option to turn them off in the next TDV update. Many thanks for finding and reporting it. However, I'm not too clear why you are using a background picture shape for this signal box? The background picture shapes are mainly intended for scanned track plans, maps, etc. For what you want, why not add the image directly using the sketchboard? Then you get the auto-scaling ...
