... topic: 1315 Printing from PDF.... posted: 21 Dec 2010 10:09 from: BruceNordstrand Howdy I "printed" my latest plan to PDF (via deskPDF) using A0 size paper and took it off to a printing house today. I have just looked at the resulting sheets and find that parts of the print are cut off. Now I assume that Templot& deskPDF would have printed to the PDF file the a plan that *should* have successfully printed exactly the same on paper but just wanted to check before I go yell at the printing house, $31.00 for 7 A0 sheets will get expensive if I have to keep trying.... Can anyone confirm that what is "printed" to a PDF should be what actually prints on paper?

464. Templot perceptions
... : Paul Boyd Well, it's handy to know we can use it to devise pointwork geometry. Who'd have thought it? That article does suggest a convoluted way of doing things. Maybe it's just as well there won't be a rush of RM readers as otherwise you'll be bombarded with requests on how to join Peco templates together in Templot! (I'm a long-standing RM reader, having been buying it since 1981 when I was 15, so I'm not being derogatory towards their readership!). posted: 8 Sep 2020 10:10 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, I'm also a long-standing RM reader (although nowadays in digital form only). Please feel free to be derogatory towards me. What an inspired decision by Sydney Pritchard to buy up a model railway magazine as a marketing tool for his Peco products. Still going strong 70 years later, as all around it print magazines are dropping like flies (Bauer recently closed about a dozen titles). cheers, Martin. posted: 8 Sep 2020 14:29 from: ...
... topic: 967 Two questions regarding two design concerns posted: 1 Nov 2009 02:52 from: William Adkins As I work through my layout design I've encountered two issues for which I could use advice: 1. I would like to make a right hand curved turnout. The outer radius would approximate 32" while the diverging radius would be 30". Is there a way to set each track's radius and then have Templot calculate the appropriate frog ratio, i.e. 1:10, 1:12, etc. for a defined scale and gauge? 2. Is there such a thing as an asymetrical wye turnout? As an example, a right hand diverging track at 32" radius and a left hand diverging radius of 30". If so, how would one create such a template using Templot? Thank you in advance for your help. Bill posted: 1 Nov 2009 03:28 from: Martin Wynne William Adkins wrote: 1.

... 1 :30) and 3/8" (1 :32) scale. Cliff's track offers both standard and fine turnout options but as I don't run F/S and most visiting locos are standard scale 1C was the only option. I was having problems too because I've been learning Templot using B-7 settings for turnouts which seemed more appropriate for my needs. Why is it when we finally get to understand something we wonder what took the time! Thanks again. cheers Roger posted: 23 Nov 2020 08:10 from: Hayfield Roger Do you have to use the kits as is or can the components be built to a different configuration posted: 23 Nov 2020 10:25 from: Roger Bristow Hayfield, thanks for your message. Good question, I could make a different configuration with the kit but as I've never made a turnout before I thought it would be helpful to model it on one I bought ready made. The click together sleepers make for quite a robust assembly given it will be 800mm long. Regards Roger posted: ...
... I find the options to adjust check rails and shove timbers, but cannot find how to adjust or omit the heel and switch of an overlapped template and retain the frog and check rails. Can any one help to find these tools and options? I have gone through my old notes (version 2.11) but many of the references and sub menus seem to have moved or changed. Just to add to my confusion I no longer run Templot in emulation on a Mac, but have it installed on a much faster HP windows 10 laptop --- so now all my errors and fails happen a lot quicker!

... . That's one reason why I have included native PDF files from Templot in the next Pug. I've tested creating large PDF files with included full-size background scans, and so far it is all working fine. The created PDFs can be printed from both the Adobe and Foxit readers. Here for example is part of a scanned picture shape of 3496 x 1348 pixels, stretched to a page 5000mm (197") x 2000mm (79").

I spent the next morning staring at my Ambis etches, feeling as baffled as before, and considering all the other options, before thinking I haven't given the Masokits stretcher bars enough of a go. So I made up two of them and fixed them onto a turnout. Unlike the previous time I'd tried them a few weeks ago for a turnout that will ...
... topic: 3767 Snapping, joining templates (not taking photos) posted: 13 Sep 2020 09:05 from: Godfrey Earnshaw Ever since I started using Templot, 10 years ago, I have always used F7, move and join, with snap on, to join templates together. I have noticed from time to time Martin make comments about why people use it and say it's only for beginners and it always puzzled me. About 4 weeks ago I had a "Eureka" moment I found; P, Peg/Align Tools> B, snap the control template onto background template>.... It is so useful, I wonder why it took so long to find. I think the reason is; nobody talks about it, it is just not obvious but Martin, it is brilliant.

471. My First Points
... and stock rails and associated 'bolt plates'. Cheers Richard posted: 30 Jan 2011 21:15 from: Martin Wynne BeamEnds wrote: I think the check rails have been covered- it was a mistake brought on by using flat bottom rail on a bullhead drawing- I just forgot to change size. Hi Richard, I'm puzzled by this. The REA designs for bullhead V-crossings show check rails spanning 4 timbers on V-crossings shorter than 1:6 and spanning 5 timbers for 1:6 to 1:10 inclusive. There is no bullhead design where the check rail spans only 3 timbers. Templot doesn't draw any as short as that unless you specifically change the settings to make them so. It would be wise to change them, not simply because they are wrong, but because they may not be long enough to function correctly as check rails. But it's looking excellent as a first build of pointwork. Many thanks for posting the pictures. regards, Martin. posted: 30 Jan 2011 22:42 from: BeamEnds Martin ...

... topic: 2962 Query about flat bottom rail not showing templates posted: 10 Jan 2017 20:03 from: Colin Parks I have been working on a plan for a P4 test track, which combines track with bullhead and flat bottom rails. Having printed out and stuck down the first set of templates on the baseboard, a second attempt at printing one of the points with flat bottom rails, it stubbornly refused to print the rail foot, remaining as if bullhead.

Your template no. 35 is labelled "bullhead". It is however set for flat-bottom rails and is printing as such here.

... topic: 2105 Online or offline posted: 8 Nov 2012 10:39 from: RT Martin, Just a comment for you. There are times when I have wanted to used Templot at a family members house, who doesnt have the internet. As i don't have a 3G dongle or anything, it means that Templot refuses to start. As another example, my ISP decided to encounter problems for the whole of last weekend, which resulted in me being unable to do anything with my layout plan because Templot could not connect to the internet. Could it be made, so that if the programme could not connect, it accepted it and started anyway? It would make it far more user-friendly... well more friendly to this user anyway! As a user, other than checking for updates, I cannot see any specific reason why Templot needs the web to run. As I said at the start, I have a family member who has a laptop but doesnt have the internet. He wants to use Templot to design his ...

... baseboad shall be a full width and depth sheet. Ideally, I need to be able to split the upper and lower levels to allow wiring and point motors fitted to each of the baseboard levels. My prefered baseboard material would be 9mm ply. Has anyone attempted this type of construction and/or can anyone please help me get started?
