... templates, although so far I have been unable to reproduce it here. Can anyone provide a recipe to make this happen? regards, Martin. posted: 22 Aug 2011 12:37 from: Les G Martin, Thanks for the pointer about differentiating templates. I think that I need to look again at how templates are created/stored so that unwanted duplicates are avoided. regards Les Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... by making a curviform crossover instead, as shown in the lower part of the diagram. In this case the straight turnouts are B-7. I did tools> make return curve to create two overlapping curves. I then created a curviform Y-turnout and aligned it over the curves at the fine point intersection. The result was a Y-turnout with a 9ft switch and 1:5.55 crossing -- i.e. a longer Y with an easier radius, even though the overall crossover is much shorter. The Templot Development Version (TDV) contains some new functions which make it easier to find such intersections and determine the crossing angle. regards, Martin. posted: 6 Aug 2011 20:30 from: Martin Wynne Hayfield wrote: If I convert an A5 turnout to a Y turnout does the crossing angle of the Y become 1 in 10 for each road. Hi John, Yes and no. Assuming a) the Y-turnout is symmetrical, and b) the V-rails are straight beyond the fine- point intersection, ...

444. TDV - Gauge Menu
... topic: 1549 TDV- Gauge Menu posted: 22 Jun 2011 05:33 from: Glen Suckling In the developement doings forum Martin Wynne wrote: "However, the web forums are full of arguments about this, and whether it should be "0 Scale" in the American style or "0 Gauge" in the UK, so whatever we do in Templot is sure not to please someone." It is my experience that both "0 Scale" and "0 Gauge" are used in the United States with very different meanings. Both refer to a scale of 1/4"= 1 ft. (1 :48) running on a track gauge of 1.25". However there the similarity ends. "0 Scale" is generally taken to mean NMRA two rail fine scale (the American equivalent of GOG-FS) whereas "0 Gauge" refers to three rail coarse scale (aka Hi-Rail). Three rail track is much more common here than in the UK and many of the three rail layouts rival the ...
... the problems are at my end. I have found all the image file generation outputs from Templot work perfectly OK irrespective of file size, and even my large 420 MB layout plan generates OK in BMP and PNG formats. I will certainly try the Sketchboard approach for testing EMF and WMF files, but this will be tomorrow as it's getting rather late. All the best, Brian Nicholls.

It will still be worth reading my beginner's guide as there is much in common between the two versions, I will have to update it I suppose. Anyway, I have changed the timbering of the diamond to match the rails, I missed that on ...

If that were correct surely the 0" datum should be in line with the 0" on the blue grid... Strange. posted: 2 Dec 2011 06:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi Gordon, The real problem here is that I haven't yet written the help notes for the sketchboard. That's the downside of working with a development version. First of all, the blue numbers on the extreme left in your first screenshot are the underlying grid labels on the workpad, they are not part of the sketchboard window. You may find it helpful to move the sketchboard window away from them or maximize it to full screen to hide them. The yellow rulers top and left show the sketchboard page size in mm. I have set the default size to 260mm x 180mm to fit easily on a single sheet of A4 paper. If you print out the sketchboard ...

That will also let you try the new irregular diamond-crossings.
