... topic: 3243 Mouse wheel in Windows10 posted: 18 Mar 2018 23:08 from: Martin Wynne If you are not using Windows10 you can ignore all this. If you are using Windows10 you may have noticed that in one of the recent updates Microsoft have changed the way the mouse wheel works. Generally this is a Good Thing, except when it isn't. There is a lot of discussion about this on the Windows forums, but as usual it seems to be impossible to find definitive information from Microsoft. The change applies to all software, not only Templot. I haven't made any changes in Templot itself. What now happens is that wheel events go to whichever window the mouse happens to be over, regardless of whether that window has focus or whether some other window is showing modal. Except in the case of child windows, where the wheel events now go always to the parent window, and there doesn't seem to be any way for a child window to receive wheel events. What does this mean in Templot? Generally it means that ...
482. A few questions
... : 9 Dec 2007 03:19 from: Stuart Mitchell Martin, Thanks for your reply. I'm working on Bodmin General with a scan images. Where the point leads from the main to the goods shed and cattle pens the are some very complex curves (we for me) to try and do in templot. As you can see from the image that there are 3 curves that are throught the template. I will try and mak a vid to post.

... shut down Templot the previous time I had used it. As I was in a webless location I was unable to do so. I use DesignSpark for PCB design and that requires web access at startup but if there is no web it will allow starts for up to 30 days from the last web access. Is it possible that something similar could be included in Templot either limited to a number of days or number of restarts? Thanks and thanks for allowing us access to this wonderful program. Fraser posted: 27 Feb 2018 08:32 from: Martin Wynne Hi Fraser, I'm reluctant to do that because it is easily defeated by changing the clock on the system. Likewise changing settings for the number of restarts. I'm absolutely determined that there should be no way to run a version of Templot which is not the current update version. Do you have an Android phone? Or someone else nearby? If you set it up as a portable wi-fi hotspot you can get internet access on your laptop from it. Templot downloads only a few ...
484. Changes in 219b
... properly: 2_120259_500000000.png 2_120300_120000000.png When working over transparent background maps, it is often convenient to change to the "snow white" colour scheme: 2_120302_120000000.png Note that transparent picture shapes cause a restriction to the depth of zooming possible, and will slow down zooming and panning on the trackpad. You may want to cancel the transparency while zooming in close for precise alignments. These issues are more of a problem with large picture shapes such as the screenshot maps, than with the tiled maps. cheers, Martin. posted: 12 Mar 2018 08:29 from: Martin Wynne p.s. I have updated these notes with item 6, notes about rotating tiled maps.

... because it generally means a facing switch in the running line. But maybe I need to add that option anyway. To get what you wanted, do this: 1. start with the turnout. 2. click tools> make ordinary crossover menu item. 3. click template> convert turnout to half-diamond menu item. 4. click tools> make slip> make single slip- opposite hand menu item. This works for a straight or curved tracks. cheers, Martin. posted: 19 Mar 2018 19:08 from: Martin Wynne p.s. Charles, I suggest changing the timbering on the turnout to equalized incremental if not already. This is often done where turnouts connect to diamond-crossings and slips to simplify the timbering layout. Martin. posted: 20 Mar 2018 20:01 from: Charles Warr Hello Martin. Your instructions worked a treat. Many thanks for your help. Regards Charles posted: 20 Mar 2018 21:16 from: Martin Wynne Hi Charles, Glad it worked out ok. Actually the middle step, ...
... , which I think in your case is 600dpi and more than adequate for construction templates. You may like to try printing to a virtual printer first, such as pdf995 (free) or Snagit or PaperPort. These programs will capture your template pages from Templot as an image file (and in colour), which you can then try printing using other software to make the greyscale conversion. Be sure to do a printer calibration via the same route if you adopt this method. regards, Martin. posted: 28 Feb 2012 08:47 from: ESJAYTEE Returning to this theme.... is it possible to export to PDF with the background shape included? I'm running templot on WinXP via VirtualBox on Mac OSX10.7 and using an Epson 1290, and while any other Win application can see and communicate with the printer, templot does not though it seems to send somewhere. I'm quite happy exporting to pdf which is printing fine (stable dimensionaly) from preview or Photoshop CS5 but would quite like to be able to include the background so i can ...

... . Any suggestions for track spikes, either for direct use on the foot of the rail or through tie plates. Gauge will be HO. I know a number of US suppliers sell scale spikes but they are very small, was hoping to find something a bit easier to use. Ideally the spike should be pushed straight into the ties but the ply we british tend to favour for timbers tends to split quite easily. Timber ties from companies like Fast Tracks are usually pine. Suggestions gratefully received Rob posted: 1 Nov 2018 08:18 from: Stephen Freeman Hi Can't help on the HO stuff at the moment. I know within reason what I need to achieve. I'll elaborate, having found a boxfile of ho US templates, I thought that perhaps converting to O NMRA would carry over the timbering but no. As for the error code, I cannot really help as I had been doing quite a lot of things prior to it happening. The.machine has 16Gb of RAM so it must be the program somehow. I will have another go today ...
... topic: 3353 Interconnected track- how to divide, and a better diverging arrangement posted: 13 Nov 2018 08:01 from: William Williamson Good morning chaps! I posted this question on RMWeb and Mr. Wynne suggested here might be more fertile ground for discussion. I've got a relatively simple arrangement of trackwork in my station throat, which I have divided for ease of construction into three meta arrangements of A, B and C: ATzhaRq.png I tink A and C are relatively straight forward- simple B6 crossovers though C has an extra B6 interleaved. The issue appears to be with the formation at B- as Martin has pointed, it is not possible for both turnout routes to be occupied simultaneously (in model form) without there being a conflict. Now, this isn't something that keeps me up at night: I'll be a sole operator and if not I find it hard to believe that this will be a frequent enough conflicting movement to cause problems (seeing as the bottom right road out of the junction is a carriage siding). ...
490. Problem with 225b
... not a big issue- for the moment I can stick to 225a, and in January I'll be getting a new PC(Windows 10 obviously) and will download Templot directly to that and hope that that is OK. But I thought I ought to flag this up in case there is an issue that needs attention; although as nobody else has raised this it does look like some peculiarity with my PC. But puzzling that it has never occurred before with earlier updates. Regards, Stuart posted: 11 Dec 2019 07:08 from: Martin Wynne Hi Stuart, Thanks for the report. That's a puzzling one -- I don't know anything which Templot could do which would persist after switching off. Also there is nothing different about 225b from 225a in the way it installs, and no other similar reports from other users. How much spare disk space is available on the system? Do you have any anti-virus installed (apart from Microsoft Security Essentials) for Windows7? My experience is that 9 times out of 10 funny issues like this ...

But you don't need to upload those changes yourself because I have done it in your files. Now we need the final code which all this was originally about -- if a background template is clicked while the data is showing, update the data automatically without waiting for its top menu item to be clicked. cheers, Martin. posted: 9 Dec 2019 08:40 from: Graeme Martin Wynne wrote: Graeme wrote: The second part- the switch info window- I will get to work on next. Hi Graeme, STOP! There is no need to to anything on that. It is all working fine. Hi Martin, I thought we also wanted to clone the data_child so that the switch info had a form of its own. It seems a bit strange that showing switch info means you lose the template info. Or is that deliberate? I realise this is ...
... so it's clear that Comcast are blocking emails from multiple sources. If I was a Comcast customer I would be extremely annoyed that my genuine emails were being blocked without my knowledge or consent. I really don't have time to be messed about in this way. With immediate effect I decline to supply Templot by email to Comcast addresses. Please use a different ISP for email to me, or alternatively I can be contacted by post, or via a private message on this forum. regards, Martin. posted: 17 Sep 2007 08:30 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for some off-group messages of support. It seems that Comcast users are equally annoyed. The problem is that instead of filtering each individual email for spam, Comcast takes the lazy way out and blocks entire ISPs and email servers if one user sends spam. To understand how unreasonable this is, imagine that everyone in your street was banned from driving because one of your neighbours was found guilty of dangerous driving!

... topic: 162 Admin -- New forum -- Prototype pics posted: 17 Sep 2007 21:08 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, I have created a new forum on Templot Club, called Prototype pics. This is somewhere to display interesting track pictures as a reference resource when doing track design in Templot. These can be either your own picture attachments, or links to track pictures found on the web. As you probably know there are now a great many picture web sites and image galleries displaying railway pictures. But invariably the title and caption refer to the wheeled object in the picture -- not the track it is running on! So here is a forum to redress the balance. If you find a picture containing interesting track while surfing the net, please consider posting a link in the new forum. n.b. if you are receiving emails direct from Templot Club rather than via YahooGroups, you will need to add the new Prototype pics forum to your emailed messages settings.

498. ideas for T3/MEC
... topic, but earlier this year I watched many many model rail videos on Youtube and admired the level of realism produced and got hooked. Then I stumbled across one crazy who was cutting sleepers and hand-laying his own track! I thought that was going too far Then I found a video of a turnout being hand-built. Now I have found Templot and realise how BEAUTIFUL track can be. I am determined to hand lay mine. How could anyone be satisfied otherwise?

Chairing is not currently supported in Templot, which is primarily about creating the geometrical rail alignments and timbering positions.
