381. Windows 7 Ultimate
... . I would also be concerned about arm-ache, and I'm almost obsessive about keeping my screens clean and free from greasy fingerprints! Having said that, I could see touch screens being used in conjunction with the Snap function to drag templates around, or to drag lengths or radii of templates so there is some potential there! I do actually quite like the idea of touch screens generally, but not sure how long-term use would work out. After all, I can't even use a mouse for more than a few minutes now! I'm very happy with NOD32 V4 and I'm not sure I'd want to trust Microsoft with my anti-virus protection. My feelings exactly, except substitute Kaspersky for NOD32 My experiments with Windows 7 have ground to a halt as I just have too much stuff that won't work. I've even reverted my desktop PC back to XP after a brief dalliance with Vista. (Still happy with Vista on my laptop though) Cheers posted: 24 Jun 2009 21:46 from: John Lewis Paul wrote: My experiments ...
... through this forum and you will find very helpful answers which people have put together to help people like yourself- and we were all newbies not that long ago!! Regarding version, the latest pug is in effect a beta release- many of the video tutorials relate to the version you downloaded. But version 091c contains new features- some of which your layout might not even require. You will also find on this forum, many examples( .box files) of layouts which people have created- why noy download a few of these and have a play with them? You will see how other people have solved problems perhaps similar to yours (bearing in mind that not all will be to your chosen gauge). Just as a example, here is a layout I knocked together for a project I was thinking about- you will see it is straight out of C Freezers "60 Plans.."- it is pretty simple, but it took me only about 15 minutes to put together in Templot, but it would take a lot ...
383. metafiles!
... TemplotSketch (closed-source). Likewise TemplotPDF perhaps, for the PDF export, which also relies on metafiles. cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Nov 2019 02:11 from: Martin Wynne The metafile export is now working in T3 quite well. Metafiles are vector files. That's great because instead of containing an actual image, they contain the instructions for drawing the image. Which means they don't have a fixed size and can be drawn crisply into a specified rectangle of any size. What has surprised me is how few graphics programs are able to handle metafiles properly. In fact I haven't found any. Gimp and Inkscape won't load them at all. Irfanview and Microsoft Paint convert them to bitmaps on loading, which means loading is very slow, and likewise panning and scrolling. An old version of PaintShopPro which I use a lot has the wit to ask you what size to load a metafile into before doing so, but then makes a mess of the aspect ratio. All of them crash up with a layout-sized metafile. The ...

... shift the position or change the direction of a fixed group of templates you can do that quite easily. With the group in the new position, you would then probably use the make transition function to link it back to the existing tracks. Rotation takes place around the notch, so you may want to position that first to make it easier to see what you are doing. Here is a bit of Jing video showing those functions (the single key alternative shortcuts are BACK-SLASH and FORWARD-SLASH). Wait a few moments for the video to load over the image: Music© Kevin MacLeod But if it means changing a radius or transition curve I'm afraid you can't do anything except work on each template individually to align them over a new centre-line. The video below shows the align function being used to convert an existing string of templates to a new centre-line. If they are standard templates it is usually easier just to align fresh ones as required. But if these templates have been customized for your design, they can ...
... topic: 3308 tiled maps -- annual subs posted: 18 Jul 2018 17:36 from: Martin Wynne Friends, It is a year since I introduced the tiled background maps in Templot, and the NLS API subscriptions are now coming up for renewal in the next few days. Unfortunately the current Templot donations fund is looking a bit thin, and won't cover it. The API for the superb 60"/mile maps of London in the 1890s is £99+ vat. The API for the 6"/mile maps of the whole of GB in the 1900s is £199+ vat. If you find the tiled maps useful, you might like to consider chipping in towards the costs. There is a Donate button at the top right of every page on Templot Club, or go to: http://templot.com/martweb/templot_donate.htm Thanks. Just to be clear, this is for the NLS tiled maps. The screenshot maps are free. The tiled maps are much easier to use, and can be extended to any ...

Westfield turns in to Hemerdon Heights, whilst Westfield makes a right turn. A similar scenario with Clifton Avenue and Rashleigh Avenue, both in Plympton are the ones that spring readily to mind.

... couple of dot matrix printers that take the old tractor fed 14.5 x 11 inch paper. He would be using the output to build track on rather than producing works of art so just basic quality should be fine. Thanks Rob posted: 24 Aug 2019 21:04 from: Martin Wynne Hi Rob, Templot began life driving a dot-matrix printer. It's a long time since I tried one, but all the code is still in there. Just select impact printer in the printer calibration dialog. Templot then makes a few changes to the output, such as removing all solid area infills. The important point is to have a Windows printer driver available for it. That might be a bit tricky for the latest versions of Windows. I don't think it makes much difference between 9-pin and 24-pin, the driver should take care of that. Also supplies of paper and ink ribbons could be an issue. If it's Z-fold continuous paper, select the banner printing option, and also the banner fill option. Ultimately it's ...

... appreciated.... I'll have a play with ply sleepers later, with the chairs bonded on. However, I do prefer the strength and ease of adjustment of soldered construction I think. Thanks. Brian posted: 11 Mar 2010 18:05 from: Paul Boyd I'll have a play with ply sleepers later, with the chairs bonded on. However, I do prefer the strength and ease of adjustment of soldered construction I think. Go with that method- it works! It's sometimes a good idea to scatter a few rivets at strategic points, but plastic chairs solvent glued onto ply sleepers are very strong. It might seem contradictory, but it's also relatively easy to loosen the chairs by slipping a blade underneath if you need to make adjustments. One issue with plastic chair/ply timber construction is that unsupported track can be distorted. I now get around that by printing the templates onto thick card (Bristol Board, 250gsm) and building onto that, then the card forms the trackbed. Cheers posted: 11 Mar 2010 18:19 ...
... from: kenbec Hello Martin, Before I ask the Templot question an administrative one. As I move through the Templot Companion etc. I write myself questions about things that are not clear to me. Most are answered as I progress through the notes and some are answered by searches. So far none appear to be very complex. I notice that you still appear to be carrying the load on your own so, would you prefer me to feed in the questions one at a time or store them up and send down a few at a time in one message. I know your first reaction is don't send any. Now for the Templot question. I experimented with the printer calibration, which came up spot on, and printed the B6 Turnout as a N for UK only. Visually it appears clear to me that it has been printed as a fine scale turnout. My assumption is that I will have to make minor adjustments to the track and Guard/Check rail positioning during construction to take care of the fact that I am using code 80 ...
... specification to suit 3ft including timbering sizes/ spacings etc. plus track standards, e.g. min radius plain line and switches based on type of locos and stock. Plugging that in made quite a difference. Templates look as I expected. See the club correspondence on flat bottom rail width. Martin Wynne has suggested increasing rail width to show outer base and inner head flange face. Seems like a good idea for creating point building templates but I've not tried it yet. I will publish my layout standards if you wish plus a few examples, all based on Colorado main line narrow gauge. Will your layout in the Appallacians be of logging style?

... inkjet printer, A3 or larger. I've been digging around on the Net looking at possibilities and reading the reviews and I haven't really found a suitable one which has received reasonably good reviews. The best reviews seem to be for the photo print end of the market but they usually require eight or more cartridges and I only want to print text and CAD plots (Templot, ACAD LT, etc) where three colors and a good black are more than adequate. I have suffered with Epson Stylus 1500 and 1520 over the past few years so I'm well up on some of the common problems with larger format inkjets- poor paper pickup and (with the 1520) heavy ink usage- (i.e. on my usual occasional use it does the head check/clear every time I power it up which uses more ink than my printing, exacerbated by the fact that the cartridges are very small and expensive). Has anyone got any recommendations? My preference has always been for HP inkjets principally because you got a new head/jet with every cartridge, ...

... things that aren't broken, and work on the stuff that we do need (and another vote for irregular diamonds). I'd certainly find it annoying for Ctrl-X to stop being 'invert handing' and Ctrl-V being 'store& background'. I haven't really used the calculator that Ctrl-C brings up- maybe because I hadn't realised it was there, and perhaps others do use it, so I wouldn't presume to suggest that this key could be reassigned either. However... It has struck me a few times that it would be useful (to me) if there were keyboard shortcuts available for the 'copy to the control' and 'delete to the control' functions that appear on the context menu when you left-click a background template- these would appear (at least to me) to be sensible candidates for copy (Ctrl-C) and cut (Ctrl-X) for people wanting more 'Windows' application-like behaviour. Ctrl-V (paste) remaining as 'store& background' would also probably then ...
