... topic: 1628 Canon PIXMA iP4300 Printer posted: 14 Sep 2011 01:52 from: Richard_Jones Hi Does anyone know if I can "fool" the printer to print out on a piece of "double length" A4- ie a piece of A3 cut down the centre of its long dimension, as this would probably be big enough for the largest of my single templates, without the expense of buying an A3 printer. Similarly is there anything I might need to "fiddle" in the Templot print settings? Any ideas (or different solutions?) best wishes Richard posted: 14 Sep 2011 06:49 from: Dave Summers Nothing needs to be fooled or fiddled. 'Tiling' of templates is taken care of automatically by Templot. A long template will be printed on two or more A4 sheets which will butt up perfectly to each other once the small margin is removed. Few of us have an A3 printer but all of us can print out our masterpieces on our A4 machines! posted: 14 Sep 2011 15:07 from: ...
... is by direct mouse action Sorting is done by clicking column headings Text select is by mouse and consistent shift key extension Drag and drop is implemented Cut and paste works as you expect Colours are muted, dialogboxes hide uncommon features etc Hence the user can approach say Diptrace, see familiar menu structures, understand that" basic" features they use in say Word, also work in pcb layout, or in Fusion360. This is not haphazard, this is a result of years of design and implementation by developers in Apple, Microsoft, focus groups, academic research etc and the publishing of countless style guides and examples., the developers docs are littered with it. As a result even software like AutoCAD, that traditionally had very esoteric user interfaces, have in the last few revisions, largely begun to conform to the" standard" Why is this done? Simply because the purpose is to lead beginners past the initial confusion stages and allow simple things to be done simply, because that's all most beginners want to do, Of course, complex and powerful software ...

... it's also possible to delete just by hitting d on its own- that doesn't work in the list view. Not a problem, but just a little inconsistency I haven't checked yet to see if this applies to any of the other shortcut keys. Running on Win7 x64, by the way! Cheers posted: 6 Jun 2012 19:52 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, That's not really a bug, it's Windows working the way it is designed to work. If you display the list, the list is given keyboard focus so that you can use the up-down arrow keys on the keyboard. So pressing D key goes to the list, not the window (where it does nothing, because the list items are not set as editable). If you pull focus off the list, by pressing TAB for example, the window regains keyboard focus and the D will work as an accelerator key without needing ALT. You can see which item has focus by the dotted lines round it. When the drawing is displayed, the drawing can't ...

This has the dual advantage that (a) you can post it and hyperlink it on the web and (b) it can't be ripped off or reverse engineered. Doubtless Martin would expect acknowledgment on your blog of his copyright. Regards Chris I've been trying this, this morning but my pdf file still splits the templot plan into A4 segments.

... or ring-binder holes you can increase the margins to avoid printing ink through the holes onto the printer roller. You might also want to change the trim margins so that the trimmed page dimensions are in round figures or match the grid lines. This is useful if you want to mix pages printed on different printers or different paper sizes. Because of the traditional paper sizes in use, finding a convenient combination of trimmed page size and grid spacing is not as straightforward as it might seem. Here are some suggested dimensions for A4 and US-Letter paper: Grid spacings: 20 mm trim to: 180 mm x 240 mm Grid spacings: 20 mm trim to: 180 mm x 260 mm (A4 only) Grid spacings: 30 mm trim to: 180 mm x 240 mm Grid spacings: 30 mm trim to: 180 mm x 270 mm (A4 only) Grid spacings: 48 mm trim to: 192 mm x 240 mm Grid spacings: 60 mm trim to: 180 mm x 240 mm Grid spacings: 90 mm trim to ...

... topic: 286 Printing questions posted: 17 Dec 2007 01:23 from: Gordon S I think I have now finalised my track plan and whilst having printed reduced size plans am now at the stage of printing full size. I have some questions. The layout is large at 18' square and to print on A4 sheets will require 284 sheets, each of which will have to be aligned. Questions. 1. I was considering sending a file to a professional printer to have the plan printed full size on plain roll. This has raised other questions. a) How do you save a print file? I understand how you save a box file of templates. Is this what an external printer will require? Will an external printer need Templot software to read the file? If they don't have the software, how will they calibrate their printer? I was hoping plans could be printed on wide rolls (up to a metre?) to reduce errors. If this is not possible or prohibitively expensive, then I am left with A4 ...
... me. It was a simple typo in the code -- now fixed. Glad that was an easy one to fix! I've got another one for you which I don't think comes under the category of missing Help notes. When the control template is a turnout, Real -> switch settings... gives a show switch info button. Clicking on that brings up another window with lots of useful info and a scroll bar to see lots more useful info- except that I can't get that window to gain the input focus so can't scroll it! I can't close it either until after the switch settings dialogue has been closed. This works correctly in 0.91c although the window style is completely different. I'm using Windows 7- I can't help feeling that that may be relevant in this case! posted: 28 May 2011 14:35 from: Martin Wynne Paul Boyd wrote: This works correctly in 0.91c although the window style is completely different.

... which you mention is set to this standard. I would strongly recommend against building a diamond-crossing with fixed K-crossings at 1:7 angle with such wide flangeways. Mis-tracking of stock is almost certain, especially when propelling. The solution is to build it with movable K-crossings (switch-diamond) or use much narrower flangeways. I'm puzzled how you will be able to run stock on this layout with such a mix of track standards. I would suggest adopting 00-SF or 00-BF standards -- for some old notes of mine about the 00 standards, see: message 567 I will change the diamond to 00-BF and add the slip road for you. Changing it to 00-SF would be preferable, but the 16.2mm track gauge would shorten the existing lead lengths and alignments. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Oct 2013 17:12 from: Martin Wynne Hi Steve, Here is your single-slip in 00-BF -- delete the existing diamond-crossing and add. ...
... topic: 316 Problems Calibrating Printer? posted: 15 Jan 2008 23:33 from: russ I've just being trying to calibrate my printer for the first time.(Its an Epson CX3200). All has gone very well and according to the instructions until I get to producing the proof-sheet. I have measured the 'picture frame' and entered those measurements. Then on printing a proof-sheet. I get the 'Warning Message' that the paper size needs resetting to A4 portrait before I can print out. WHen I check this in 'printer set-up' the printer is already 'correctly' set up for A4 portrait. When I go back to printing the proofsheet, Templot still thinks its wrong, even though it is right in printer set-up. Of course if I select 'Try print it anyway' the result is wrong. The printer is still uncalibrated. What do I try next. I am wasting alot of paper& ink and getting nowhere !- I am sure it must be a simple mistake? posted: ...
... topic: 3758 Trying to use NLS posted: 7 Sep 2020 00:50 from: roythebus Good evening, I'm trying to download a map from NLS but can't for the lif of me fathom how to locate the exact map I need form NLS. Whilst it seems wonderful and has the map I want, I can't locate it again! I'm after the West London Line from Kensington High Street to the Cromwell Road/A4 bridge to the south on the 25" to the mile series, post-1945. It seems to stretch over 2 maps what I need, but as I said, I can't fathom it out at all. I have the attention span of a goldfish when it comes to computer things. It's taken me 10 years or more to try to work out Templot and have built a layout using it with help from here, but this one has me baffled. Of course I then need to get that copied into Templot. Any help is appreciated. posted: 7 Sep 2020 01:43 from: Martin Wynne roythebus ...
... much on the Templot Club, and other sites about the various track standards in use for what we all nominally call O gauge. I have been asked to build a small O gauge layout. I would prefer a smaller flangeway and checkrail figure than standard 32mm gives for better running and greater visual appeal. I will only be using small locos( Agenoria kits) and short 4 wheel stock( 1930's period) I will probably only use Slaters wheels on locos and stock. I want to be able to build turnouts down to A4 if possible but will use gentler ones if I can fit them in. I want to be able to buy the required gauges to make the track. I will be buying C&L components. Comments please. Rob posted: 27 Feb 2011 23:13 from: Martin Wynne Hi Rob, The best advice seems to be to ignore both 0-XF and 0-SF and choose between 0-MF and S7. 0-MF (31.5mm gauge, 1.5mm flangeway) accepts all existing G0G-Fine " ...
... some point work. Mainly an outside slip with a diamond attatched to it. Could someone point me in the right direction to making this possible... Hopefully the file will be attatched to this post so you can see what i mean. Many thanks Andy Hi, Youo may consider this to be approaching what you want. I think you may well be better off with moving K crossings due to the flatness of the diamond. You might get away with it in P4/EM/00-SF but 00-BF has too much slop IMHO.

... wrote: Do I consider gauge widening the flange way gap, or it's it only the stock rail that gets this treatment. Or it not the flange way do I consider reducing the check rail to wing rail dimension Hi Dave, This is why I sometimes think I'm wasting my time writing tutorials and docs. No-one ever reads them. I have posted the following dozens of times on RMweb and here, most recently only yesterday on RMweb. The check gauge is constant. For 00-SF (and 00-BF) it is always 15.2mm. Check gauge tools for setting this are available from C&L. Consequently if there is gauge-widening on sharp curves, the check rail gap increases by the same amount as the gauge-widening. This is true for all gauges and scales, always has been, and is also the case for the prototype -- special widened check rail chairs are made for use where there is gauge widening. Here's a diagram: 2_010658_360000000.gif A is the check gauge. It is the most critical ...
... topic: 2356 Print templates directly to cork? posted: 4 Dec 2013 02:56 from: Martin Wynne While looking for something else I found this: http://www.fredaldous.co.uk/art-shop/paper-card-board/self-adhesive-materials.html Self-adhesive cork sheet in rolls. Templot includes a banner printing option, so if your printer allows it you could maybe print templates directly to the cork track underlay on an inkjet printer? Also available in A4 sheets if you can't do banners. It's only 1.5mm thick, so would probably need an additional cork or foam roadbed layer below it. It needs a printer with a straight-through paper path. I imagine the backing paper might give it sufficient stability to feed through. Just an idea, I've not tried it, may contain nuts.

... outlines and centrelines and a solid black line for track centreline. Timber infill colour is set to white. However when I send the same trackplan to a PDF (selecting B&W mode) all the sleeper/timber outlines and centrelines and the track centreline are broken dotted lines rather than solid lines. Where is the setting that I have missed to change this so the PDF( when printed) looks just the same as the direct Templot print? BTW Templot insists that my Brother HL-2240D( a B&W A4 Duplex laser printer) is a colour printer as in the message "You have selected the black& white only option for your template printing. Your current printer is a colour printer." that comes up when I set it to B&W. It doesn't seem to cause any issues with printing.

... topic: 1070 print alignment posted: 10 Mar 2010 18:05 from: tony polman i`m probably missing something simple but bear with me. is it possible to align each template so as it would be printed on a single sheet of A4? tried a couple of test prints last night and found some sections are cut lengthways at the edge of the paper. must be a way around this? posted: 10 Mar 2010 18:20 from: Paul Boyd Hi Tony You can set the page origin to do this, assuming the template is small enough to print on A4. From the 'print' menu, select 'page orientation/origin' then 'set page origin'. The rest is self-explanatory, and you can see the results of fiddling with the page origin on the screen before printing. This is something I do quite a lot!

... talking basics, I thought I would post this diagram again: 2_010658_360000000.gif A is the check gauge. It is the most critical dimension in pointwork. If this dimension is too small, wheels running from left to right can hit the nose of the vee and very likely derail, or at least bump. If this dimension is too large, the wheel backs will bind or jam on the check rail. To make sure it's correct, the check rail is set using check gauge tools. For 00-SF and 00-BF this dimension should be 15.2mm, so you can use the same check gauge tools for both standards. B is the crossing flangeway gap. It's also important. If this dimension is too small, the wheel backs will bind or jam on the wing rail. If this dimension is too large, the gap in front of the nose of the vee will be too wide, and the wheels may drop into it with a bump. This gap is set using a small piece of metal shim called a crossing flangeway gauge shim ...
... multiple parts in that that will be left alone. Knowing where to look for each thing is part of the problem. I'm back to work tomorrow as the illness has largely abated so progress on Templot is bound to diminish. I have downloaded all of the videos and looked at them all. Often many times for some. It would be good to be able to search the companion only as the terms come up in so many messages it does make finding things harder than it could or perhaps should be. Certainly looking for A4, B6 etc took ages- found nothing particular but I stumbled across a great bit of doc later. The same thing happened looking for REA. I love what this thing can do. It takes a good while to get your head around the storage box- delete to current is a very strange term that is not without significant inherent confusion.
