... topic: 2038 Disappearing sleeper/chair numbers on printout. posted: 3 Aug 2012 17:10 from: Jerry My attempts today to reprint a crossover comprised of 4 templates seem to have lost some of their timber/chair numbering. I tried reprinting the whole trackplan with the same result. After I had completed my plan I printed a whole set of A3 pages on 07/05/2012 according to Martin's printout dating scheme. I kept those as masters. The numbering is as expected. Is this me or has something happened in the updating. Any ideas welcome. Jerry posted: 3 Aug 2012 18:19 from: Martin Wynne Hi Jerry, Is it just the timber numbers (text) which are missing, or some parts of the actual template(s )? Are they all missing, or only some? If only some, are all the missing ones on the same template? Are you using the same computer and same printer as last time? Are you using the same printer page size, printer resolution and settings ...

So you can create centreline-only template for all the baseboard edges, delete all the track and away you go. Of course, there is still the small matter of all the framing etc...

... -end. The alignment will also be mirrored to create a full mirror image. When swapping end-for-end the alignment with other templates remains unchanged and the turnout is simply reversed within it. Note also that mirroring changes the hand of a background template but doesn't change its name. So if it was called "LH B-7 to branch bay" it will still be called that even though it is now a right-hand turnout after mirroring. regards, Martin. posted: 25 Aug 2012 23:07 from: Martin Wynne p.s.

When I did Template/Swap End-for-End, puff, the entire turnout re-appeared (see below) and I had to Blank Up To Peg, again. 2480_162217_180000000.png Is there any way to lose the hidden info so I can duplicate it as just a single ended Center Re-Rail template? I can certainly work with this as is, just curious. Mark C. posted: 17 Sep 2012 04:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mark, It's actually much better to do this on the approach track to a turnout rather than the exit track as Paul has it. Then you don't need any blanking (so the turnout part won't reappear), and the normal peg positions CTRL-0 and CTRL-1 can be used. After extending the two check rail ends MS1 and TS1 back into the approach length, put the peg on CTRL-1 and then do> snap to peg menu item. Change the template length ...

What is the "wrapping line offset from bottom of picture" dimension relate to? Is it (A) the height of the point from datum X0Y0 up the Y axis to the desired point of wrapping on the background shape? (B) the actual measurement of the distance from the bottom edge of the background shape to the desired wrapping point? or have I totally missed the plot.

... tried to put in some limits, but it's difficult without restricting desired functionality. Note that the video says you must use BMP files for picture shapes. This is no longer the case in Templot2 -- PNG or JPG files are now supported, and they don't need to be in the SHAPE-FILES folder. This doesn't change the amount of program memory needed, but makes the files a bit more manageable. The video is on the list for a revision. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Oct 2012 21:07 from: bambuko Thanks! That's very good news.

... 3. I found that 12" sleepers would not work for the 1:2 end and I have had to replace them with 14" wide sleepers, so that the chairs would hang off the edge of the sleeper. So I wondered how the real railways sleepered crossings at even greater angles? I am interested if anyone has any photos as it does not seem very obvious how to do it. N.B. This is not for a project- just for interest. Regards, Arthur posted: 21 Jul 2013 20:07 from: Paul Boyd Hi Arthur Have a look at the picture below of a short angle diamond for my in-progress layout.

... 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 ...

Martin, On my Samsung NC10 PLus, the Fn key sits immediately to the right of the left hand CTRL key, so Ctrl+ Fn combinations are very easy- and can be with one finger.

Hi Martin, The problem with key shortcuts is they often become software specific. Not helped by the way OS issues creep in. And hardware issues. I tried a cheaper CAD program on the Windows/Bootcamp side of the computer. Whenever I drew a circle it would disappear behind the work area never to be seen again. An issue with the way the Apple displays work was as close as the programers got. To small a demographic to worry about so no fix. Just so you ...
... topic: 2479 Soddingham-under-Piddle (again....) posted: 1 Jul 2014 18:07 from: BeamEnds With Ubuntu closing the Unbuntu-One cloud site I've had to move a lot of files around, and came across the original Soddingham Templot file. Since O is out of the question on cost I started reading up on P4 and wondered what I could do in the space available 4mm. Why not OO?- well after O OO track just doesn't look right, both the gauge and the over-wide 6ft. Reading up on P4 suggested that 1000mm (~ 4ft) would need to be the minimum radius so more out of interest in Templot that anything else I bunged the 7mm plan into Templot and converted it to P4. It worked almost perfectly- only the single-slip, at 11ft by 12ft on the plan, needed anything more than tiny adjustments to length and/or curve. Half of the slip went over length and needed a bit of surgery to make it fit. Having fount ...
