382. Getting Started
... : 7 Apr 2012 13:24 from: Adrian (ffoil) Dave Summers wrote: With respect, the best place to look first is Templot Club's Search facility. That avoids overloading Martin and other helpful souls by repeating that which has previously been dealt with at length! Cheers Dave Quite right. An interesting morning wandering through the results in there, but it has left me wondering if I need them. Probably straying off topic for this bit of the forum. The intention is (in a fit of originality) to develop a GWR based layout, so it needs to reflect their practises. The original plan shows them at one end of two of the platforms (single track, with a passing loop at the station, but also a branch, giving three platform faces). With three platform faces, I would have thought it reasonable to assume that all three routes were passenger routes (as well as goods), so do they need them?

383. Zoom control

More about all that here: message 1849 regards, Martin. posted: 14 Feb 2012 16:24 from: John Hawtin Martin Hi! Thank you for the quick and informative reply. I agree the zoom options in Templot are extensive and I guess having been developed over the years cover most if not all the situations you are ever likely to encounter. I suppose really it's what you get use to, and having worked with CAD for many years I find zooming at mouse cursor almost second nature. To answer your question – yes the mouse cursor also moves to the screen centre so that the part of the drawing you are working on moves to screen centre which saves you grabbing the drawing with a left click and manually moving it to centre. To understand what I'm trying to explain ...

Hi Stuart, Not 45 degrees or 90 degrees. Templot can't produce crossings shorter than 1: 1.5 RAM( i.e. not more than 33.7 degrees). Using Templot Development Version (TDV) only: 1. Start with two lengths of plain track crossing over each other. They can be both straight, or both curved, or one curved and one straight length. One should be a background template and the other should be the control template. 2. Click on the background template. 3. On its menu, click peg/align tools> make diamond-crossing at intersection menu item. 4. Follow the instructions and wait a moment while Templot does the calculations. 5. ...

Thanks Rob As a final comment, perhaps I might rally to the defence of Exactoscale, perverse as that may sound. This company is very largely a one man band and both the product development and order fulfillment are done by the same person. I gather that there have been some problems with some of the suppliers to Exactoscale as regards accuracy of products supplied. Given that these products are engineered to very fine tolerances, that has clearly affected the availablilty of some of the more complex track kits. I am assured that Exactoscale are working hard to fulfill all outstanding orders.

392. TDV
... from: dickc Hi Martin, Many thanks for your quick response. No, I have only a rather ancient desktop PC. It's just strange that I have never had this phenomenon using Ubuntu with previous releases. I still have 0.91c on my hard drive and reverted just to check. F7 on the keyboard works fine! Although I prefer Ubuntu, I can boot to Windows XP and using this the F7 key works with no problem. I use Templot only occasionally and I am more than happy with the wonderful programme you have developed. As I said previously, I can easily live with the "glitch" whatever its cause, I just reported it for information. Regards, Dick posted: 7 Jan 2012 11:54 from: grahamroberts Hi Martin and Dick, I run 0.91c under Ubuntu without significant problems... I don't currently need the TDV's facilities, but I downloaded it to see if I could reproduce Dick's problem. F7 works correctly for me, either using the key or selecting the screen button with the mouse. As far as ...
... topic: 1767 Templot drawing service? posted: 6 Jan 2012 15:48 from: The Nth Degree Hello, I've designed a small 2mm scale layout that I want to build using Easitrac. The problem is that I have a Mac and it is critical for work so I don't want to instal any software other than for work. If you're a member of rmweb you can see the development of it here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/49529-blt-with-cheese-%E2%80%93-testing-my-patienceskills/ or if not please see the final plan below. 2270_061100_280000000.png What I'd like is for someone to draw up this plan in Templot so I can start laying it out and making track. The baseboard is 1200x720mm but I can stretch to 1250x750 if needed. Also, I'd prefer to use Easitrac points patterns so all the track is the same system.

394. Straights and bends
... the make transition functions to create the central S-curve (remembering to move the outer pegs to the curved ends while you do it).' Hi Ray, When you use the make transition function between templates which are themselves transition templates, the fixing peg is used as a marker to tell Templot which of the two radii within them to use in the calculations. Nearly always this means temporarily swapping the peg to the opposite end from the end where you have it, and swapping it back afterwards. I need to develop a better method for this. A tutorial on the make transition function is here: http://www.templot.com/martweb/info_files/make_trans.htm A short video showing it being used is here: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/parallel_platform.exe A much longer video showing it being used several times over a background scan is here: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/scruffs/h0_overlay.exe These videos are old.

395. Two TDV questions
... I'm sorry they are not done yet, but I have made the point several times that the TDV is unfinished. It may have been unwise to release it in its present state as it is causing users such as yourself more confusion than it is solving. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Jan 2012 19:32 from: Donald MacLean Martin To your last paragraph first! Disagree that you shouldn't have released this early version. What you have done is b____y marvelous! And I apologise for diverting you from developing the help notes with my inane quibbles. As I said in my last post I have found a workaround from PDF JPG MTC. Easier than going through the kind of mathematical hoops you describe! Where my confusion arose was not recognising that the 100% option applied ONLY to PDF export and DIRECT printing. Once again, your generous help and courteous responses are much appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely Donald posted: 2 Jan 2012 20:49 from: Martin Wynne Donald MacLean wrote: As I said in my last post ...

... , with a hammer striking a chair key at "key" moments? In the meantime, here is a background sound track for the videos. After several minutes of this you will be pleading for a silent video. http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/yak.mid What IS needed is a page of notes and annotated images which you can follow or print out. There is always far more to be said about each step than anyone could follow or take in if it was presented as spoken word. I have developed a synchronised video format which includes such notes, and I will be using it to present properly edited videos in due course. The present videos are scruffy stop-gaps to get the information available with the minimum impact on my time -- I MUST find more coding time, the current 074b release version and tutorials are SIX years old! Add carefully timed audio scripts and commentaries to my task list and Templot would come to a dead stop. regards, Martin. posted: 1 Jun 2007 15:32 from: ...
397. glueing track
... subject of PVA glues the washable type I have is called BLUE LABEL washable PVA adhesive whereas the person who recomended it to me had Red label. It is sold under the name brianclegg that is how it appears on the bottle and they have a website http://www.colorlord.com which lists no less than 5 different types for different uses. It does not look as though they will supply direct though. No doubt there are other grades supplied by others. Adhesives are a big subject and millions of pounds are spent researching and developing new types so I am sure there is scope for investigation and experiment. The problems we encountered with Green Street may well not be encountered by everyone. The reason for the apparent movement was certainly difficult to pin point. Thermal cycling experienced by the track panels may have been a factor and possibly some of the dropper wires may have exerted some slight sideways force, difficult to know. The track was all soldered ply and rivet construction, plastic track would allow the rail to move of course. The baseboards were constructed from ...
