... All of this should be done from one menu and not jumping through so many. I have spent 20 minutes getting this to work before finding out that someone has somehow altered my printer settings even though the LCD on the printer says everything was letter size. I still did not get a perfect alignment. The Inner box was off by 1 mm in each direction. I put in the actual measurements. Now the shaded cross dimensions are 1 mm too big in each direction. It appears to be unfixable. How do I print the current template showing on the monitor. The printout is a tiny box in the upper left hand corner and not the full-sized sheet I expected. 2. Menus All Windows programs I use have an Edit tool button with an undo option in it. I had to look around for yours. It is buried way down in the adjust option. Windows tool bars have File, Edit, View, Tools, etc. Why invent a whole new pattern? 3. I clicked the "Click-drag zoon ...

43. Print Rail Foot?
... topic: 2042 Print Rail Foot? posted: 13 Aug 2012 22:08 from: Mark C I would like to print not only the rail head but the rail foot, too. I am using HO-NMRA gauge and have set the rail to Flatbottom (shown in Information Panel). I have checked "rail-foot edges on flat-bottom rails" in the Output>Output Drawing Options>Element Options... dialog. Still, when I output background templates to the printer, it only prints the rail head. What am I doing wrong? Mark C posted: 13 Aug 2012 22:55 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mark, 1. click real> rails> head and foot (flat-bottom rails) menu item. 2. click real> rails> rail section data... menu item and set the dimensions for your rail section. You have now set up the FB data for the control template. 3. now group-select the background templates to which you want these settings to ...

... topic: 2762 Printing by external source posted: 23 Oct 2015 11:23 from: Godfrey Earnshaw My printer is no more and I don't want to buy a new one. When I used my printer to print templates it was calibrated before use. I would like to get the templates printed by a print shop if possible; what format would I need to supply the files in (pdf...) and how would I ensure that the print shop machine was calibrated.

Hi Godders, 1. if you want accurate calibrated printing the best option by far is to find someone running Templot connected to a good-quality ink-jet or large-format printer and get them to do it for you from ...
... topic: 1473 Printing Background shapes posted: 3 May 2011 00:36 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Having a few problems printing a background shape along with my trackplans. I did a drawing of a room with walls and the like and scanned it into the PC. I can put the drawing into Templot OK and it shows on the pad as expected. I can't however get it to print correctly( or at all!). On a Canon IX5000 inkjet I get an entirely black shape( therefore not being able to see the trackplan) where the background shape is when printing with the 'Print Pictures( Stretch)' option ticked- expensive on ink with A3! If I go for the 'Outlines Only' option I just get two diagonal lines from corners to corners where the shape should be- I can however see the trackplan. On a HP Laserjet P2055 I get no background shape printed with any option. The trackplan is OK. Bear in mind that I am printing with 'Advanced Printing Features' and 'Print Optimizations' both ...
... topic: 2772 Can I get grid lines or background shapes to appear on the print map? posted: 3 Nov 2015 09:19 from: Gordon S I tend to use groups to print sections of track together, particularly where I have several parallel curves. Selecting the track is not an issue using groups, but by their nature they select the whole track piece that may extend several feet beyond the end of the baseboard I am working on. It occurred to me that seeing the grid lines or background shapes on the print map would help considerably in choosing which pages to print. If I am building a corner unit, it could be 6' in each direction and I want to hold the position of each curve to each other, so have to print numerous sheets (typically 40-50 at a time). Knowing where the grid lines or background shapes were on the print map, would be a great help in choosing which pages to print. I've tried printing just one track at a time, but when you have multiple ...

A tool for making plastic extrusions is being made and hopefully stock will be available at Warley in October 982_250725_410000000.jpg As you can see the track will have keys and available in main line version with keys going in the same direction, or single line with chairs alternating which side the keys are on. Each panel is 30' long 2 back to back make up a 60' panel 982_250726_320000000.jpg A view of the rear showing the breaks in the webbing, the 3D print does not hold its shape as well as plastic extrusions 982_250726_460000000.jpg You can clearly see the first sleeper is a 12" one with a smaller spacing between it and the next 10" one.

... . menu item. That assumes of course that your model rail section has the correct scale foot width (5.1/2 "). If not adjust accordingly. Likewise increase the width if you are using inclined rail. My priority at present is to get the Sketchbook and PDF output finished. The Sketchbook needs platforms, which is why I've been working on the platform edges. In addition I've been working on saving program settings between sessions. That's a can of worms if ever I've seen one. There is also a new Print Now! single click function which prints directly to the printer using the current defaults and by-passing all the preview, setup and calibration options. I have also started an interactive beginner's guide within the program itself, i.e. "click this and see what happens". I have concluded that this is the only way to get some folks started -- quite a few have freely admitted that they won't read manuals, web pages or watch videos. They expect to just dive into a program and stumble about until it ...
... topic: 3482 Large-format printing and banner/roll paper posted: 12 Aug 2019 18:48 from: Richard Benn Hi, I have a templot plan that goes around four walls of a room (with a gap at the door). I want to print the track plan in four long sections. I can print the horizontal sections but Templot doesn't like altering the orientation to Side Run while set to banner/roll paper. Is it a case of having to group the templates, Rotate Group 90 degrees then either alter the page origin or Shift group to get it to where I want it, or am I overlooking an easier way? It's not exactly difficult but it's a bit of a faff getting the grid to line up. At least the board shapes can automatically follow the track plan as it moves. Thanks. Richard posted: 12 Aug 2019 19:13 from: Phil O Hi Richard, Does changing the page from portrait to landscape, or vice versa work. I can't remember the default. Phil posted: ...
... topic: 1877 Printing large individual templates posted: 20 Mar 2012 21:18 from: Jerry Some of my templates are very long because I have used F3 extend approach road and F4 overall length. I have isolated most templates for printing by selecting groups and then 'output>print group templates only' which works fine. I believe the best technique is to select the necessary templates as group members and then omitting and printing the required sheets in the print dialogue. But is there a more efficient method? Just in case anyone else is looking for a new A3 printer. I have previously needed to calibrate my printers but recently acquired an Epson WF7515 A3 ink-jet printer. When I went through the calibration process I found that the printer calibration sheet was spot-on for sizes. Although I saved a calibration file the machine works 'straight out of the box'! Not cheap tho'. Regards Jerry posted: 20 Mar 2012 21:58 from: Martin Wynne Jerry wrote: I believe the best technique is to select the necessary templates ...
53. A3+ printer
... all! For ages I've wanted an A3 or A3+ printer but they've always seemed too big or too expensive. I got fed up with sticking bits of A4 paper together for even quite small templates. I've now bought myself an HP Officejet 7110 from ebuyer for not much over £100, it's relatively small for an A3 printer and has a wireless connection which for me is important so I can tuck it under a chair when not in use, with no cabling to unplug. Reviews suggest it's not that good for photo printing, but frankly if you want an A3 photo printed, it's cheaper to go to a print shop! The next problem was paper. A3 copy paper is abundant, A3+ photo paper is abundant, but A3+ decent quality plain paper isn't! Eventually I found a company called FirstForPaper who list Swift paper, and the 120gsm is available as a special size of 13" x 19" (A3+). It's relatively expensive at 16p/sheet if you buy 250 sheets, but before splashing out I ordered ...
... there a facility in Templot to do this? Ian Everett posted: 2 Mar 2009 10:19 from: Chris Mitton Download and install a "virtual printer"- I use Win2PDF, obtainable from http://www.win2pdf.com. Define a page format big enough to show your entire plan (in Windows XP, you do this in Printers and Faxes -> File -> Server Properties and use the Forms tab. I found by experiment that it won't do any form bigger than 5 metres...). "Print" your Templot plan to this "printer" and lo! you will have a PDF file of your plan. This has the dual advantage that (a) you can post it and hyperlink it on the web and (b) it can't be ripped off or reverse engineered. Doubtless Martin would expect acknowledgment on your blog of his copyright.

... topic: 3126 PDF colour, infill and style settings posted: 12 Nov 2017 00:52 from: Rob Manchester Hi, I have Templot set to print in B&W only. When I print a trackplan it prints fine and has solid black lines for sleeper/timber outlines and centrelines and a solid black line for track centreline. Timber infill colour is set to white. However when I send the same trackplan to a PDF (selecting B&W mode) all the sleeper/timber outlines and centrelines and the track centreline are broken dotted lines rather than solid lines. Where is the setting that I have missed to change this so the PDF( when printed) looks just the same as the direct Templot print? BTW Templot insists that my Brother HL-2240D( a B&W A4 Duplex laser printer) is a colour printer as in the message "You have selected the black& white only option for your template printing. Your current printer is a colour printer." that comes up when I set it to B ...
... topic: 3788 Calibration the same for all printing during a session posted: 1 Oct 2020 23:51 from: John Pletta I find that when printing (to the same printer after it has been calibrated) during a session, the calibration has to be reentered for each printing. Is there a way so that it can be done once for the first print and carry over for the other printings during that session? Is there a way that the calibration for the printer can be entered once and then used without reentering it each time (assuming I am not using another printer) and that would carry across from session to session? posted: 2 Oct 2020 13:13 from: Martin Wynne John Pletta wrote: I find that when printing (to the same printer after it has been calibrated) during a session, the calibration has to be reentered for each printing.

... topic: 3488 Saved Preferences posted: 19 Aug 2019 00:50 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Sorry to be a nuisance as usual but can I save items such as output drawing options and element options in my prefs.sk1 file? I though it was possible to do that but starting Templot using my saved prefs file doesn't pick up changes I made in the previous session. Opening the .sk1 file show a section like this :- -- -- -- -- print output: -- -- -- -- 08-00s=| Arial 08-01i=6 08-02i=0 08-03b=0 08-04b=0 08-05b=0 08-06b=0 08-10f=288 08-11i=9492696 08-12i=11567184 08-15i=0 08-17b=1 08-18b=0... etc etc Does that not refer to changes I have made on the output menu?

... topic: 1018 Size of print area posted: 18 Jan 2010 14:44 from: Gordon S I'm probably doing something wrong, but I have to move the page/print datum point when I come to print this group. It appears as though the grouped track in the attached box file is sitting outside the print area. Is that possible or is it me? .... Just noticed that using Shift/Control/F10 shows a background print size. I thought it was unlimited, the same as the actual plan. Does this mean large plans have to be printed in sections?

... topic: 1044 Print Alignment Problems posted: 9 Feb 2010 22:40 from: David Hiya Guys Been reading through forum for similar problem and could only find Possible Printer Calibration issues. I am fairly condident that my Printer is Calibrated ok, yet I am having fairly big discrepancies over 3 A4 sheets joined together in Landscape origination. During printer configuration the outer box of the printout measures 180mm x 240mm, yet when the proof sheet is printed out the horizontal bar measures 150mm, but the vertical bar only measures 249.5mm, instead of the 250mm expected. The Roller Factor is 100% and the Head Factor is 100%. On printout of a few sheets of A4 paper to join together, the grid spacings seem really good at 50mm(they had been 52mm), yet on a staggered A4 paper layout, when jointing together, the placing of an A4 sheet centred on the joint of 2 A4 sheets below, show the sheet out of alignment by 1mm at either end of the sheet. The only reason I would question this, is ...
