... my Toshiba Netbook. I have never used the Fn key with either when using Templot. The F keys work just like the Desk-top. Regards Alan posted: 5 Aug 2011 18:59 from: John Lewis My Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop hand function keys F1-F12 at the top of the keyboard plus a Fn Button between the Ctrl key and the windows key at the bottom of the keyboard. The Fn button is black. I have not used Templot on my laptop. posted: 5 Aug 2011 21:08 from: JFS And not only Laptops- my XP Desktop machine (MESH- remember them?)has a "Multimedia Keyboard" and at every start-up the Fn Keys "do special things" until the Fn Lock is pressed- absolutely infuriating but NOT the kind of thing that you can "not notice"!! By contrast, my Lenovo laptop- like Phil's- requires no intervention- it just does as would be expected. You have to hold down the "Fn" key to get the special ...
542. Rolling sleepers
... approach track now has a sleeper which is a bit beyond the end of the rail, and I thought that for neatness it would be nice to extend the rail to reach just beyond the sleeper. So I pressed F4, thinking this would do the trick. No. What it now does is continue to roll the sleepers, leaving the rail the same length. My guess is that there must be something which one is meant to do to stop the sleepers rolling. The question is what? posted: 9 Mar 2009 08:37 from: Martin Wynne Nigel Brown wrote: So I pressed F4, thinking this would do the trick. No. What it now does is continue to roll the sleepers, leaving the rail the same length. Hi Nigel, I think you pressed the number 4 key by mistake instead of F4. The number keys 1 to 9 are single-key alternatives to CTRL-F1 to CTRL-F9 respectively. See the single-key shortcuts on the chart: help> print F-key chart menu item ...
... motor for controlling semaphore signals. The solenoid is fitted inside a plastic tube (currently 10mm outside diameter but this may be reduced in the near future) which can be fixed directly to the baseplate of your signal. Operation is silent and smooth. Can be operated by cdu etc. I'm intending to do a Youtube video of it, perhaps later today, if I can but for now there are pictures and more info on my website.

That means that without any gauge widening: 0-MF 31.5mm track gauge, 1.5mm flangeway gap 0-SF 31.2mm track gauge, 1.2mm flangeway gap (Slater's-type wheels only) 0-XF 31.0mm track gauge, 1.0mm flangeway gap (Slater's-type wheels only) Generally 0-MF at 31.5mm track gauge is now the preferred option to give good support through V-crossings and still accept a wide range of wheels and reasonable radii. regards, Martin. posted: 1 Nov 2011 08:40 from: Raymond Thank you David and Martin for his later reply.

... middle of a fine close-up adjustment. Note that such jumping doesn't happen for a custom switch, so an alternative to locking the switch is to use a custom switch on the template. Is this the case if you're zoomed in around the fine point, and the peg is on the FP? Won't the turnout size change towards the switch end? Which is roughly the case with the irregular diamonds. Also any chance of "lock transition" in the next version?

... topic: 1465 Wing& Check rail clearance between tips to other passing rails posted: 25 Apr 2011 14:08 from: Brian Nicholls Hi All, With regards to the screenshot shown below, can any one please answer the questions below: Q1. Is the gap between the gauge face of the passing rail and the tip of the wing rail sufficient so as not to cause a problem, if not suitable, what should the minimum gap be? (the gap is shown in the screenshot by the Templot ruler) Q2. Regarding this gap between passing rails and wing rail tips, is there any written down specification for a minimum to this gap? Now I have already reduced the wing rail dimensions in order to increase the gap as follows: First I selected "Machined Ends" to flatten the tips. Then changed the following dimensions: Size 1 MS wing-rail reach length (full size) down from 48ins to 38ins. Size 2 MS wing-rail reach length (full size) down from 78ins to 68ins. Flared length ...

548. Despair
... you want to spend time making track that conforms to prototype standards, then Templot is for you. There is also a disturbing tendency for Templot to become a hobby in its own right I've got loads of layouts Templotted that will never get built, but I enjoying planning them as much as building other stuff. At the end of the day, it's all about enjoying a hobby no matter what the form! I mean, some people even play trains on computer simulators!! Cheers Paul posted: 18 Mar 2009 13:08 from: Richard Johnson My thoughts are that not having a standard Windows interface is a big problem for new users. You may not like Windows, but its a standard that most people know, and new users expect programs to work that way. Templot could never do what it does if it worked like standard Windows software. I once thought 100% as you do, but it eventually clicked that the issue is not the interface, it's the approach: I use Windows based software all the time every day but there ...

... infill turned off. My last involvment with wide-format roll printing was with the old Benson plotters which I am sure some of you weill remember. We also had lots of early HP plotters at work. Most of these used modified fibre tip or roller ball pens to do the 'printing', you never did know when the ink was about to run out...it usually did half way through an important job!

If I then do main> undo clear/ reload :: OK, the storage box then contains 129 templates, the last being blank.

(And if I press next or last, 129 disappears, and I'm set on template 128) If I just set focus to the window- without pressing the previous button, it correctly displays 128 templates.

However the more I use TDV I find more and more features I never really knew about and that make life so much easier Anyway on to the reason for the post, whilst trying to reimport a background image (jpeg) back into a plan I received the following error.

558. Ceeton 2
... I can't handle points I'll get them built. posted: 5 Jul 2011 17:19 from: Nigel Brown Hi Katier I think the platforms look a bit thin. Rather than having the lowest platform edge straight(ish), have you thought of bowing it down a bit, so that the platform is thicker in the middle, and tapering at the ends. I think you've got room to do this, and it should be possible to rearrange the sidings to fit. Cheers Nigel posted: 5 Jul 2011 18:08 from: Katier Hi Nigel, I had wondered if they might be. I was thinking maybe bow the mainlines up slightly. The baseboard is 8 inches from the bottom of the board to the 2ft mark. The top platform has 3.4 inches (according to the magic ruler) of space. So 28 feet of space, while the space between the ends of the sleepers for the island is 1.3 inches or about 11 feet. Not sure what of that would be platform but does seem a bit narrow. I'm guessing ...
