... up. The word all doesn't make logical sense if there is only one shoved timber. So I coded the restore all button to be active only if there is more than one shoved timber. If there is only one, you can restore it by selecting the timber and clicking the restore timber button instead. I have now changed the restore all button so that it is active even if there is only one shoved timber present. In the next TDV update. regards, Martin.

... and subsequently produced errors. Today I took a screen shot and tried to print that on the same size paper using windows picture and fax viewer and guess what, the same error occured thus proving it is not a Templot problem. I have been doing some more digging and discovered this is a know problem with this printer, but so far I have been unable to get their suggested fixes to work. So basically, it is not your problem. Thanks for your time. Tony. posted: 12 Nov 2011 20:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Tony, Thanks for letting me know. I hope you get it fixed. Printers can be so temperamental -- see the topic from Gordon about missing rails.

I think I'm virtually there, just got to sort out the 'factory and brewery area' on the top right and then I'll throw it to the wolves for comment.... The platforms need to start on the 6' grid line and run for 8'. There are three platforms in total. I can add the station buildings etc once they are in place. I ...

You bring them in as background shapes (BMP or PNG files) and then you construct the TEMPLOT template over them. Are these particular prototype templates you want to reproduce? Otherwise, if it's only the geometry you want it will probably be quicker just constructing the TEMPLOT template to that geometry.

'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.

You have a 7.4 crossing directly conneted to a 4.65 and therefore, no smooth line through the crossing, it needs to be on a curve. Also the 7.4 crossing does not connect to the turnout to the left.

Hi Simon, No. Version 091c supports only regular diamond-crossings -- which means the K-crossing angle is always the same as the V-crossing angle. Irregular diamond-crossings (in which the K- and V-crossing angles differ) are new in TDV.

Hi Raymond, Have you been clicking make the control instead of delete to the control? I added two new options on the pop-up menu, make the control, and make as a copy. These are mainly for those who find the word "delete" alarming, although they can be a time saver for everyone. As with all tools containing the word "make", these functions first store the existing control template (even if it is currently hidden). So if you store it yourself beforehand, you will end up with two background templates. The make the control option ...

... ). So to be consistent the crossover is 1:10+ 1:4.95 in RAM units. This is shown in the upper part of the diagram. The Y-turnout has a 9ft switch and a 1:4.95 V-crossing. The linking roads are straight, so in order to complete the design in Templot you need to do some additional work to terminate the turnout curves at the V-crossing. You could use partial templates as shown split at the fine point (CTRL-4). The pink template is a 1:4.95 straight half-diamond, again split at the fine point. Or you could instead do it all in one template by putting a zero-length transition-to-straight at the fine point. Either way however, using a regular crossover like this is not the best design and is very wasteful of space: 2_031930_100000000.png You can save about 100mm (4 ") in 4mm scale and have an easier radius in the Y-turnout by making a curviform crossover instead, as shown in ...
... things don't seem to want to play ball. But the easiest way to move your crossings in relation to each other is to vary the double line track centres until you can place them for good checking and easier timber placement. I couldn't get the ruler in my Templot to work on your drawing so I couldn't measure the track centres you are using, but it doesn't take a lot of movement in track centres to make a sizeable horizontal change in the placing of the crossings. Jim. posted: 2 Aug 2011 21:07 from: Alan McMillan Hi Jim Thanks for that, my only problem is the track centres can't be changed. This crossing is part of a much larger plan and is connected on its left to a very complicated junction across six tracks and to its right to a pair of platforms which are in turn connected to two other pairs, the tracks of which are tied together through five double slips. If I changed the centres here, everything else would be thrown off. I have to find a way to timber this crossing ...

(I don't know where 125m comes from but it is commonly used). This results in the body end tapers you often see on modern rolling stock as the "corners" are trimmed back to keep the end throw on 125m radius curve the same as the centre throw. 125m is over 2.8m at 1:43.5 so most model railway curves will be tighter ...

... your second message. You are correct in assuming Autocad can import metafiles. It can handle both EMF and WMF file formats, so I have a choice. I am about to experiment with both these types of files, although I have already done a couple of outputs to each metafile format (EMF& WMF) just before I did the PNG output, but will now investigate further in the light of what you say.
