... : Paul Boyd Hi Dave But what am I supposed to do? Change ISP's? Unlikely. To be quite frank, if my ISP was blocking legitimate emails without my consent or knowledge, I would be changing without a moment's hesitation. How many other legit emails have you missed? You don't know, because you don't get them. No-one else should have to faff about filling in forms because Comcast decide to play by their own rules. This is a Comcast problem, so Comcast need to fix it or lose customers.

... topic: 934 LSWR Turnouts posted: 14 Sep 2009 13:15 from: philchudley Hi All I hope this is the right section of the forum. I have designed by LSWR Branch terminius with the add of a .box file I downloaded with contained Templot templates for LSWR Type 1 Turnouts. (I cannot remember exactly where I downloaded this from) These have been constructed using custom settings and do allow changing the crossing (1 :6 1:7 etc, but not the planning (A B etc) If anyone is familiar with this .box file could they advise as the planing setting? It looks like it is a A Or what planning is a LSWR Series 1? Alternatively, how do I discover the planning setting from the custom settings? I may use the new C& L Timber Tracks (they do a LSWR B7) so I need to confirm and maybe modify my plan before construction.

... with 9mm gauge tram track, so I particularly like the interactive check rail adjustments, which help me to simulate quite a lot of girder rails in turnouts. But I have had intermittent problems clicking on the TSnn/MSnn labels. Just doesn't seem to work sometimes, although I cannot figure out any particular set of circumstances that causes problems. One other issue: Templot won't quit for me! I have to end the process in task manager. Neither issue is critical. And one question: Is there a way of deleting custom switches (something that's also very useful in simulating tram track)? System is XP SP2.

The labels should highlight when the mouse moves over them, and turn yellow when clicked. Are they failing ...

... too wide. If i set the printer setup to sheet rather than roll it won't let me go above A0, but will print the whole 8m drawing in A0 sheets. posted: 18 Dec 2019 14:48 from: Martin Wynne Tom Allen wrote: If i set the printer setup to sheet rather than roll it won't let me go above A0, but will print the whole 8m drawing in A0 sheets. Hi Tom, You must set sheet and not roll on the printer setup. You need to set a large custom sheet size, click custom in the list of sheet sizes. Then enter the full length of the layout and its width, or the printable width on the paper. Then select custom in the list of paper sizes instead of A0. I need to get this in the docs somewhere, because I think this is the third time recently that I have posted about this, but first I need to check it by installing a wide-format driver. cheers, Martin. posted: 18 Dec 2019 15:15 from ...

... , for example the setting up of web hosting accounts. I would expect that the example of web hosting falls under the provision of services, rather than goods, in which case there is a specific exemption from the right to cancel if the provision of the services has commenced before the end of the usual cancellation period (as long as the supplier has provided all of the necessary information in advance). I suspect you would be better off claiming an exclusion from the DSR on the basis that Templot is computer software that the customer has unsealed (which has a specific exemption), or that you are actually providing a service rather than physical goods, which the OFT's guide( http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/business_leaflets/general/oft698.pdf section 3.39) suggests would be the case for downloads of electronic books or music- so maybe software delivered electronically should also fall into this category. This would then allow you to claim the same exemption as the web hosting companies (though I suspect only from the point at which you provide the lock- ...

... printer, now, fairly obviously I can't do this as I can't actually print it out, not having the printer. So I cancel that, try to print but the page size has gone back to A4!!!! What's the way round this if there is one please? posted: 22 Mar 2011 11:22 from: Martin Wynne Hi Stephen, If you are unable to do a printer calibration you should select the option to use printer uncalibrated, don't cancel the printing. You may want to create a custom paper size in Windows, which may (or may not) show up in the paper size list in your PDF driver. In Windows a paper size is called a "form". You can create named custom forms: From the taskbar go to Start> Control Panel> Printers and Faxes. Click the File> Server Properties menu item. Tick the Create a form box. Enter a new Form name (make sure you do this, or you might be inadvertently changing the sizes of an existing form). ...

... topic: 1855 Memo Notes being unnecessarily transferred to another template posted: 2 Mar 2012 00:29 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Not sure if this is a fault or what. Having placed a custom turnout onto my track plan, I then did the following:< tools>< make branch track> On inspection, I found that all my custom memo notes associated with the custom turnout had also been transferred in as the memo notes of the branch track template. The custom notes in the branch track template are not required, so thought I should report it.

... do that, there is an unprintable margin area all round the edge of the paper, usually wider at the bottom. The PDF Reader programs deal with this by means of page scaling "fit to page", shrinking the PDF page to fit within the printable area. Unfortunately that upsets the correct scale of printed templates, so you need to set page scaling to "none" when printing templates, with the result you found -- part of the image overlaps beyond the printable area. The solution is to create a custom paper size which will fit within the printable area -- in this case say 35" x 46" to fit comfortably on the printable area within 36" x 48". You can then select this custom size as the paper size when generating the PDF file. For details of how to create a Windows custom paper size (it's not obvious), see: topic 224- message 1096 These problems will all go away when I get the native PDF output from Templot finished -- it completely ignores the set paper ...

... topic: 2936 Changing closure distance posted: 24 Oct 2016 14:35 from: Dave Phillips I am trying to make a custom turnout template to match turnouts already built in a custom fixture. I need to increase the distance between the switch heel and the frog without changing the frog angle and thus increase the closure radius. It's a straight switch, regular V crossing turnout. There does not appear to be any built-in functions to do this with a mouse action, so I've been working with partial templates. The approach I've been thinking of is to make four partial templates, the switch, the frog, and straight plain track main road closure and a curved plain track turnout side closure. I've got the frog by blanking to the entry straight, but can't figure out how to blank from the switch heel to the end of the turnout. I can blank out from the toe end to the the heel but not from the heel to the exit end of the turnout. I'd really like to do this with a single template since ...
