461. TDV - Roam along
... topic: 1734 TDV- Roam along posted: 19 Dec 2011 07:28 from: LSWRArt On my Toshiba laptop, Roam along does not work with CTL+ F9. This does a screen capture (you hear the shutter click). Number 9 works perfectly. Is this a problem with the laptop, or a minor bug in the TDV? Thanks Arthur posted: 19 Dec 2011 08:18 from: JFS Its your laptop. Call it a "Feature" Regards, Howard. posted: 19 Dec 2011 08:20 from: Martin Wynne LSWRArt wrote: Is this a problem with the laptop, or a minor bug in the TDV? Hi Arthur, It's your laptop. Laptop computers often take over some of the F keys to make up for others being missing. In this case it is the PRINT SCREEN key on a normal keyboard. See the note in green text at the top of this page for a possible solution. If that doesn't work I'm afraid you will have to remember to use the 9 key instead or ...
... had its day, although I'm sure there are some diehards still doing things the hard way One thing though, you need to decide which standard you are working to and get the appropriate gauges, then make sure that all the stock (I'm assuming RTR) meets those standards. The most important are the wheel back-to-back and flange thickness, coupled with the check gauge on the turnout. But really, you just need to have a go and don't be afraid to make mistakes! posted: 21 Dec 2011 07:25 from: Stephen Freeman Martin Wynne wrote: workev2000 wrote: Which Templot Gauge do I use for C&L components?

463. Odd printing result
... , but Gordon might be able to save some paper while diagnosing the problem by printing to Cutepdfwriter http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp rather than a physical printer. If I understand correctly, Cutepdfwriter masquerades as a printer but instead of printing on paper, it prints to a PDF file instead. I used to use it quite a bit on XP, but I don't have it installed on any machines at the moment.

Hi Andy, There are a great many similar virtual printers and PDF generator programs. But Gordon doesn't need any of them because Templot has its own native PDF generator with much better functionality for large page sizes and trim margins. See output> export a file... menu item. They have their own drivers replacing the printer driver, so ...

... topic: 1933 Activity boxes not showing properly on 2.05 posted: 24 Apr 2012 22:07 from: Simon Dunkley Hi Martin, Have downloaded and installed the latest version of Templot, and have noticed a bug, which is more easily shown with a screen capture: 112_241703_190000000.png The bar across the top is correctly showing what I am up to, but the mouse action box is not- and this is for all of the mouse action boxes. Also, I was using mm and inches to show things such as smallest radius, but that imperial has disappeared. I work in an imperial scale, and model an imperial prototype. Is this something designed in, or is it a setting which 2.05 has re-set? How do I get it back? I am running Templot on a 64-bit iMac, via Crossover with Templot in an XP bottle. This combination has not caused any problems with earlier versions. Simon posted: 24 Apr 2012 22:23 from: Martin Wynne Hi Simon, Thanks for that. It's a bug ...
... -9s are the minimum for coupled BR mk1 coaches. This sort of data is not easy to come by. Tony. posted: 24 Apr 2012 09:59 from: Nigel Brown For coupled coaches and the like it depends to some extent on what couplings you are using and where they are mounted; esssentially, how much sideways shift you can get between the couplings. I use body-mounted B&B couplings, and find a B7 is just about OK. Cheers Nigel posted: 24 Apr 2012 16:07 from: Tony W Hi Nigel. Yes of course we modellers can get away with sharper curves than the prototype which is what my previous comments refered to. My layout (P4) has a B-6 crossover and my rake of mk1 coaches (with Alex Jackson couplings) negotiate it OK, but the displacement of the corridor connections has to be seen to be believed. I hasten to add that this road was not intended to be used by passenger stock but in the interests of scientific experiment!!!! ...

... of a massive load on the server and the database engine. In many ways RMweb is a victim of its own success -- for the number of users now on there it needs much larger server resources than the voluntary donations could ever provide. Now that RMweb is under the wing of Warner Publications, perhaps they will be investing in additional servers. That doesn't explain the present hacking of course, which can only be due to a security flaw in the software. regards, Martin. posted: 2 May 2012 16:07 from: Martin Wynne For those suffering RMweb withdrawal.

... topic: 1917 Help needed with Tandem posted: 10 Apr 2012 07:50 from: its_all_downhill Hi all, I have been happily using Templot for some time now and have managed to become relatively proficient with it at least to my needs, but I still have one stumbling block that has gotten the better of me at every attempt! Tandems.... So this Easter weekend I set out to overcome this problem. Setting up 2 laptops so that I could view on one and do on the other, following the tandem video that Martin created. I even wrote out the steps from the video so that I could see each command before using it. I have attached my box file for your perusal and have managed to get as far as placing the third crossing on the the k crossing. Please excuse the ignorance of technical terminology as I have so far happily used Templot in blissful prototypical ignorance. Couple of points that may help me to understand the makeup of the tandem is.. is the creation of the 3rd x-ing ...
... push on a new one. One could make the fit of rail in chair a bit looser as per prototype; the easiest way of doing this may be to thin down the profile of the rail slightly. I'd suggest the builder does simple experiment to see if it would work in his case. Nigel, Many thanks for that suggestion. I reckon that would work well- as you have proved. The builder is also a Templot owner so he might even be reading this thread. Jim. posted: 7 Apr 2012 07:43 from: MartynS Hi Nigel and Jim, Yes it is me ,with reference to the idea above my thoughts were similar but to use a cast chair with a hole drilled under the chair and then to locate on to a spigot drilled into the sleeper or to drill and solder a piece of 0.7mm nickel silver rod under the chair and then a locating hole in the sleeper. Hope this makes sense Martyn. posted: 10 Apr 2012 14:58 from: Stephen Freeman Interestingly enough I have just built one ...

Regards Brian O'Donovan posted: 23 Oct 2009 17:01 from: richard_t And just out of interest, does Templot run under 64-bit Windows 7- if I'm splashing out on a new OS, might as well be 7, posted: 23 Oct 2009 17:16 from: Martin Wynne Yes and yes.

... start with a 12ft curved 1:6 for the three-throw? And do I have to do anything special at the heel end? Thanks Mike Johnson posted: 28 Mar 2012 16:35 from: Alan Turner To my knowledge Three Throw turnouts were not used in running lines. However the principle is that each pair of switch blades has a long and a short blade. The inner blade is the short blade. You will also need a knuckle in the running rail.

... before finalising the templates. However, like most people I just keep plodding on without paying too much attention to things I do, one might say, automatically, so I cannot be absolutely sure if I have checked any transitions before using the dummy vehicle facility. Like your self Martin, I am beginning to think that something may be slightly off with my system, so as stated above, I will try a re-load of the TDV. All the best, Brian Nicholls. posted: 28 Mar 2012 16:07 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Just a follow up note. I tried the issue again, and when I opened the dummy vehicle menu (as before) I found the vehicle shape was way out to the right any well below the template, so naturally I rotated the vehicle in an anti-clockwise direction (the shortest route back to the template), and low and behold the issue was there, it failed to track the centre line. However, I then rotated the dummy vehicle in a clockwise direction ...
... topic: 1869 Wrong action from menu item posted: 13 Mar 2012 23:07 from: Andrew Fendick Hi Martin, I'm using Templot Dev version 0.98.a; OS is Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64bit; on AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile processor. When working with a turnout template as the control and selecting the menu item Action> mouse actions: control/ geometry> adjust plain track length F4, the F3 (approach length) action is triggered. I can recreate by just starting Templot and using the default turnout control template that is set when you do not reload any previous work. The 'adjust overal turnout length F4' menu item and the 'adjust approach length F3' menu item both work as expected. posted: 14 Mar 2012 00:18 from: Martin Wynne Andrew Fendick wrote: When working with a turnout template as the control and selecting the menu item Action> mouse actions: control/ geometry> adjust plain track length F4, the F3 (approach length) action is triggered.

474. Window moving
... But I don't think it is that- although it might be something about my computer/system that is introducing a delay- I'm using TDV with Windows 7. I don't recall this ever happening with Templot 91c, though. To be honest I'm more intrigued than inconvenienced by it; and it has caused me to be a bit less hasty and check that the function dialog box has appeared before I actually start to make changes, which is probably not a bad thing. Regards, Stuart posted: 5 Mar 2012 23:07 from: Martin Wynne stuart1600 wrote: I have encountered something which may be similar to what Julia has described. If I select, for example, F4 to change the length of the control template and then move the mouse, sometimes I get drag panning instead, complete with the "compass point" cursor. I have assumed that this is due to some slight delay between hitting F4 key and Templot actually implementing the function, so that the mouse is automatically putting drag panning into effect. Hi Stuart, You must wait ...
... track templates have a hidden switch -- it would reappear if you inserted a turnout in the template later.)

The whole issue was not really a big deal as it is a simple matter to clear out any unwanted memo notes, it was just a case of not noticing it before, and it made me wonder if there may be something not quite right. However, you have now explained the situation, and I am also now aware of it, so no harm done. BTW ...

477. Metric Calculator
... topic: 1845 Metric Calculator posted: 25 Feb 2012 15:07 from: Phil O Hi Martin Any chance of making the Metric Calculator available to use in the Sketchboard mode as it is a bit of a pain to keep going back to Templot, Tools, ETC. every time I want to check dimensions. Many thanks in advance Phil posted: 25 Feb 2012 16:08 from: Martin Wynne Hi Phil, The metric calculator should remain visible in front of the sketchboard if you don't close it. You can drag it mostly off-screen if it's in the way. If you click the small up-arrow in the top left corner a few times it will scale down to a smaller size and be less obtrusive. However, I have now added a menu item on the sketchboard menus to display it when needed: options> metric/scale calculator menu item. In the next TDV update. regards, Martin. posted: 25 Feb 2012 16:46 from: Phil O Many Thanks Martin. Cheers Phil Parts of Templot ...
... Can I also clarify something on 31.5mm 0-MF. Am I correct in thinking that the gap at the common crossing and at the wing rails are reduced to 1.5mm, as well as the gap for the check rails? If so, I guess this means that you cannot buy a point kit or a pre-made common crossing, which I had thought of buying to help me make my first point. Best wishes to Martin and to all at Templot for the New Year Arthur posted: 31 Dec 2011 13:07 from: alan@york For some, steel looks better, as NS has a yellow tinge. There is also the matter of the layout's environment: steel can rust. Some say that steel is easier to solder,(and needs more careful cleaning afterwards to eliminate flux residues). Rail cleanliness also depends upon the environment, and I also wonder if DCC is better than DC? See discussion here: topic 321 So, there may be personal considerations. Apart from cost. alan@york posted: 31 Dec ...
