... topic: 1867 reloading after update posted: 8 Mar 2012 10:03 from: LSWRArt Hi Martin Do you have to reload all your settings each time there is an update? When I restarted after the latest TDV it came up with T55 and asked me to select my track standard. When I printed a template it said that the printer was not calibrated, even though I had done it previously (or is it my fault and I should have saved these settings?) If it is the case that the update does not memorise your previous settings is it possible to have a check list of items to check so that we do not forget to reset all our custom settings.

... make diamond crossing at intersection in TDV. At these short angles the timbers will need a bit of shoving to tidy them up. By a "flat crossing" I think you mean a short-angle crossing? I don't know of a specific limit, but Templot doesn't directly support anything shorter than 1:1.5 At those angles the prototypes vary a lot and tend to be made up as one-offs. Below 1:1.5 in Templot you can only overlay plain track and then either mark up your prototype on the print, or create a mass of partial templates and shoved timbers.

Changes in this version now at: topic 3507 and the link in the trackpad help menu has been updated. cheers, Martin. posted: 24 Sep 2019 17:57 from: Paul Boyd Thanks Martin. I'm looking forward to playing with the 'Exchange' function... Edit:-...which works nicely! I need to get into the habit of giving templates more sensible names though. I also think the print dialogue box 'Cancel/Omit all remaining' button function is clearer. As to print preview, how did we manage without it? I'm pleased to say that the panning works really well. Oh, and a nice picture of a pile of rail chairs! How long was it since that picture changed?

Alan, Andy, Don't get the F10 shortcut too firmly memorised -- it's changing in a future Pug (provisionally to CTRL+ F10 for swell), because F9 and F10 are needed for the irregular diamonds. Brian, this illustrates perfectly why I'm so reluctant to produce a printed manual -- in no time at all it would be out of date and as such it would be more hindrance than help. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Dec 2007 07:47 from: Martin Wynne Richard Morton wrote: Is there not a way to have Templot trace a path like a centerline?

... , the heels (pivots) are on timber T3 in the screenshot. I tried to get the best match to the substitution radius of 137.5", which ended up with a curviform crossing (frog) angle of 1:2.08 (RAM) and a turnout radius of 147mm (5.8"). The gauge is so small in relation to the scale that I needed to reduce the calculation step size in the generator expert settings. The F7 snapping proximity setting also needs reducing. Here are a couple of screenshots and the printed templates. The grid on the first screenshot is in prototype feet. Let me know if this is something approaching what you are looking for and I will upload a .box file. gn15_1.png gn15_print.png This last screenshot is just a bit of fun with the F7 snapping -- it took only a couple of minutes to produce this nonsense: gn15_2.png The grid there is in model inches.

The best solution is not to unstick it from the template, simply trim all round close to the timber ends. But for that to work reliably you need to print on paper thick enough to hold the timber spacings and be left in place under the ballast. I usually suggest 160gsm paper for printed templates, which is almost a thin card. Maybe in 7mm scale you could go even thicker, printer permitting. When sticking the template to the work board, stick it only outside the timbered area, so that after cutting through all round the timber ends it lifts clear. Double-stick tape works well for this. regards, Martin. posted: 5 Jan 2015 20:53 ...

... forgotten the possibility of the storage box containing templates at different scales- probably because I am struggling to think of why I may want to do that Hi Rob, Remember the old idea of perspective modelling? 4mm/ft in the foreground, while 3mm/ft models run through the background scenery at a higher level. Or 7mm/ft+ S gauge I seem to remember from an old magazine article. If you leave the measurements in prototype units there may be a rise in the sales of scale rules Perhaps Templot could print them? I said that in jest, but thinking about it, it could be a handy thing to have down the side of the template prints. They already include a mm grid, so a rule in prototype inches might be a useful addition. Thanks for the suggestion. cheers, Martin. posted: 28 Jun 2020 00:57 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Yes, perspective modelling is very useful providing you can restrict the viewing position. In modelling some people like to work in prototype dimensions when laying ...

... that, I will stick with 0.74 for the time being. Yes you are right I should have typed V0.91b, it was a misreading on my part. Must get my eyes checked Regards, Dick posted: 26 Nov 2007 02:51 from: Martin Wynne dickc wrote: Two questions spring to mind therefore. Does the advice about staying with 0.74 still hold? Hi Dick, My sincere apologies that things are so unsatisfactory at present. First, advice: 1. If you have come to Templot mainly to generate and print construction templates, and to customize them in a prototypical fashion, I recommend that you remain with 074b while you work through the tutorials and read the docs at Templot Companion. As soon as you feel reasonably comfortable with the material there, I recommend upgrading to version 082d or 091b. You need to upgrade in any case when you want to progress from turnouts to diamond-crossings and slips, which are very much easier in the later versions. For an explanation of the difference between 082d and 091b, see below. ...

476. Scissors crossovers
... is much easier in a type 2 scissors, because in that case the middle diamond-crossing is an ordinary regular diamond with all crossing angles equal. In a type 1 scissors the middle diamond-crossing will need to be created from multiple partial templates, and the V-crossing angles will differ from the K-crossing angles. Both types can be found on the prototype, in all the thousands of scissors crossovers around the world and at different periods. Both types are equally easy to build, once you have the printed templates. A beginner would likely choose a straight scissors, in which case a type 2 would be a bit easier to build because all the rails in the middle diamond will also be straight. The basic procedure to create an outline scissors crossover, in curved or straight track, is: 1. start with a turnout of the required V-crossing angle, regular, and TS track spacing centres. 2. tools> make ordinary crossover 3. do> snap to peg 4. tools> make mirror on peg ...

The F10 still shows as swell, not a big deal, as I am aware that the Swell shortcut is Ctrl- F10 in TDV.

... Palmer wrote: Tony, thank you for the revised version. I will study this carefully and come back to you after I have done so. Is there something you think needs particular attention as regards cleaning up the rails through the crossings? So far as I can see all one can do is superimpose the first crossing on the diverging closure rails- is there a trick I've missed here? Hi John. At the moment you have as you say got the crossing superimposed on the stock rail and it is perfectly possible to print the template and construct it from this, however it may not be so easy to see exactly where the tip of the crossing nose comes. Using partial templates one can remove the stock rails for the crossing areas. Give me a while and I will show you what I mean.

... topic: 1668 Coloured templates -- change of default for output. posted: 27 Oct 2011 16:30 from: Martin Wynne A change in the next TDV update. If you are creating files with coloured templates, you may need to bear this in mind: The default setting has been changed to output> output drawing options> colour options> use pad marker colours. This means that in the default state, output to print, PDF, sketchboard and image files will now use the marker colour settings from the screen rather than the mapping colour settings. This better reflects the typical use of coloured templates for diagrammatic purposes rather than for construction templates, and means that output colours will match the workpad screen colours for coloured templates. Change the setting at output> output drawing options> colour options> if you want to use the mapping colour settings as in existing versions. The usual reason to do this would be that you have used white or pale yellow marker colours on screen which won't show when printed on white paper. Marker/mapping ...
