When you get more experienced with Templot you may want to store and save some of your templates as library templates. This makes it a bit easier to re-use them in later projects, including multiple designs of custom switches, plain track spacings, and so on. *copy to current in version 0.74.b (same function, just a different name). regards, Martin. posted: 22 Jul 2010 07:52 from: Jerry Thank you both Alan and Martin, I had already worked through Alan's 'Getting Started' mini-tutorial on my first day, several times, that's possibly the reason I made the conceptual leap into the working of this briliant system.

How do I hide those or stop them being generated? Looked everywhere, but can't see how to do it... Sacrilege possibly, but I never use "notches" yet they seem to appear at random and clearly impact joining tracks with the F7 command. They only way I can lose them is by Geometry/Notch/Reset notch on pad datum. Can anyone let me know why they appear and how do I stop them? .....or perhaps I should learn to love them... posted: 8 Mar 2010 08:48 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: Couple of questions for you guys.

... topic: 1439 A first attempt- CJF's Umberleigh posted: 1 Apr 2011 07:38 from: dajt Hi all, I bought Templot last night and decided to try making CJF's Umberleigh plan. I thought I'd better check it was actually buildable before I decide to make a layout from it I've done my best to follow the track plan, but have been having trouble with transition curves and reverse curves... surprised? I think I'm pretty close, but am a bit worried about some of the tight curves and there may be some changes of direction which are too sudden. Is anyone willing to give it a look over and point out the troublespots?

... found a bug in TDV relating to K crossing check rail flares. Hi Paul, Thanks for finding that for me. It was a simple typo in the code -- now fixed. All that stuff had to be completely rewritten for the irregular diamonds, so a few errors were bound to creep in. There is still an elusive problem with the position of the planing marks for the switch-diamond points, but I will nail that too before I'm done. regards, Martin. posted: 28 May 2011 13:07 from: Martin Wynne Quite often when working in the code I come across some old notes and I wonder if I made the right decisions. I just today stumbled over this: // version 0.23 19-10-99. Update keep timestamp so can append existing file after shift keeps, mirror keeps, etc... Originally a stored background template was called a "keep", and the storage box was called the "keeps box". If you were an early user of Templot you may remember it ...
529. PDF output
... , Templot will be asking you if you really intend that and explaining what it will mean. And the opposite for side-run. These things are all still up in the air. The sketchboard will include a PDF output which matches the screen outlines for portrait/landscape orientation. This may be a better option for diagram mode output to PDF. The direct PDF output is intended mainly for construction templates in detail mode, and matches the normal print output for that reason. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Jun 2011 07:13 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, I have now removed the reference to width and height from the PDF export, and changed it to "long side" and "short side". It's difficult to see how anyone could get those mixed up? Templot will then allocate the dimensions to width and height itself, according to the current end-run or side-run setting. I have added option buttons to change that setting on the PDF dialog: 2_040152_560000000.png Please not that this export dialog is unfinished in ...

One end will move with the mouse, the other won't. Moving the storage roads over the stairwell now allows scenic work on three sides.

... do have though is one half of the generated crossing is a switched crossing and the other half a normal one. The two crossings are K-9.11+ V9.92 and K-7.55+ V7.63. How do I change the crossing style to match? I'm assuming they both have to be plain as a switched crossing within a single slip may be one step to far... I hope that makes sense...

... email groups and usenet, the original Templot Club content is not posted by email. Consequently there is no thread reference information to pass on in the outgoing email headers. I will see if the topic ID number can be included as a thread reference. But your email program should be able to thread based on the subject lines instead. Nothing has changed at this end, so if your program is now behaving differently it would seem to point to the program upgrade. regards, Martin. posted: 11 Mar 2010 22:07 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin Yours and Kenneth's replies make sense. It does seem as if it's TB3 that's caused it, but I wondered why it was only the Templot emails that were affected- now I know! TB2 must have been threading them based on subject line, and TB3 isn't (or there's a setting that's changed). TB3 has also lost the very useful shortcut Ctrl-Shift-C to mark a whole folder as read. I'm beginning to wonder why I upgraded Cheers posted: 11 Mar 2010 ...
533. Because it's there
... simple as first sight might suggest it might be but an interesting challenge, especially as the lines west of the platform were drawn 'not to scale' and had to be extrapolated. In S7 this takes up something of the order of 46 feet. It simply goes to show how large an average passing station could be.

I've just checked on Google Earth and it does have a few curves- back to the drawing board for Raymond. BTW, why the (to me) peculiar track layout to the south of the station where two separate lines appear to leave the station and split apart, but eventually come back together again to form, one track. At first I thought it might have been for some flying junction arrangement ...
... PM- AVG have now released an update that resolves this issue. If you are still experiencing this problem then you should download today's update via your AVG client. Some customers using the AVG anti-virus software may find that their website is being reported as containing a virus.

Hi David, That looks excellent. It's not often you see the spacer blocks and bolts modelled. But I'm a bit worried about the sharpness of the nose. Unless it's an optical illusion, that looks almost a knife edge. For traditional bullhead the vee nose is blunted back from the FP gauge intersection to a nose width of 3/4" (GWR 11/16 ...

538. Epson 1270 printer
... . I can't believe it. When I remember all the time I've wasted over the years messing about with it I could kick myself for not trying this before. So I thought I would pass on this tip for anyone having similar problems. An A3 inkjet is a very handy thing to have for Templot, and it prints superb quality photos too. Unfortunately as far as I can find there is no driver for Vista or Win7, so this is XP only. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Apr 2011 12:07 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I was thinking about buying one of these a while ago, but decided that if I was going to go bigger then I'd go to A2 (which I haven't yet!)
