621. 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 ...
622. platforms
... to adjust both ends of the platform for length. I thought it may be related to the peg position, so tried moving that, but it made no difference. Am I missing something or is this a bug? 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. Still a lot to do, but it is an improvement. 479_021700_230000000.png Attachment: attach_1227_1488_22_- _ET- _Reduced_station_9.box 354 posted: 3 Nov 2011 11:07 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: I've managed to add the platforms, but cannot seem to adjust both ends of the platform for length.

... 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...

Some customers using the AVG anti-virus software may find that their website is being reported as containing a virus.

You have done enough in 074b to have become familiar with the basics of Templot, so you should have no problems with the changed menu ...
... . The low-residue flux is non-corrosive and doesn't need cleaning off. The one which is different is traditional solder paint. This has an active water-based flux, and much coarser grade of ordinary 60/40 solder particles. It is a lot less expensive than SMT paste. It is not suitable for electronics -- it's intended for general fabrication, plumbing and tinsmithing. If it is used for track construction the active flux must be thoroughly washed off. regards, Martin. posted: 11 Jan 2012 07:02 from: richard_t For sleepers I use a mixture of vinegar and steel wool, which stains softwood sleepers a nice silvery/grey. Google this and you'll find what to do. It's a bit smelly, but the smell does go eventually. You'll need to practise with the amount of wool to vinegar otherwise you'll end up with mid-brown/yellow sleepers. I've not tried it with ply mind you. There is also a silver wood product on the market which does the same, without the smell. ...

... . The area which caused the greatest headache was/is the sort-of scissors affair in the bottom-left quarter. Particularly with regard to check-railing on one of the turnouts.

... wonderful track configurations but I also checked with a spreadsheet by David Honer who used AREA 1941 data to construct his turnout calculator. Davids, Martins and Andy's data was so close it hurt() in lead length for a #6 but FT's seem to have a longer lead length. I suspect theirs is more inline with NMRA info than any specific prototype. As I am modeling the mid 40's in Virginia I tend to lean towards the AREA 1941 data more than anything else. Cheers Bruce posted: 25 Feb 2011 16:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Bruce, Here is your original file, converted. There is no significant change to the roadbed or track alignments. Most of the switches are now 11ft, with a couple of 16ft-6in. I haven't made any other changes, there is still some timber shoving to do in places. Also there are several places where you have used #6 turnouts, where something a bit longer would fit. These are generic templates with evenly-spaced timbers. If you want exactly to match Andy's ...
631. RAID PC Help
... need to find the drivers. According to the manual these are on the motherboard CD, which will create a driver disk on floppy. (Microsoft's idea of a joke.) You need to feed the floppy in when you boot the Vista disk, pressing F6 at some point. After that the recovery system should be able to see the raid array and fix it. Probably worth slipstreaming the raid drivers into the Vista disk using Nlite, but thats not an easy solution. Mike Johnson posted: 2 Mar 2011 22:07 from: Ian Allen Hi Mike, We looked at doing a driver boot from a floppy, but could I find one at home? No, lol.

... topic: 1398 Function keys not working posted: 3 Mar 2011 17:07 from: Templot User Sorry to bother you but I can't find the answer to a problem I'm having with Templot. If I highlight a section of track and then press the F7 key to shift it, I end up shifting the whole page and it would seem that none of the other Function keys are working either, so I guess I've changed a setting somewhere and would be grateful if you could advise.

... C chairs. For parallel wing crossings a similar twist is needed in the wing/check rail, from inclined to vertical, but I'm not sure where the twist is made. Parallel wing crossings require special crossing chairs to accommodate the check rail beyond the B chair, presumably setting it vertical after a twist in the REA designs. The NER drawings show the layout of such chairs on page 39, but no drawings of them. Parallel wing chair drawings, anyone? regards, Martin. posted: 10 Feb 2012 16:07 from: Tony W Hi David, Martin. Further to the above, I was going by the British Railway Track book third edition published by the Permanent Way Institute. This has a drawing on page 67 showing Flangeway clearances and this gives the impression that the check rail is inclined. However I have subsequently discovered on page 410 in a section that deals with check rails a statement that says "Check rails in Bull Head track are usually fixed vertically in special chairs", implying the drawing is incorrect. The sectional drawing ...

... topic: 1420 Comparison of N and 2mm Fine Scale gauges printout posted: 15 Mar 2011 12:07 from: kenbec I have decided to use code 40 track but haven't yet decided whether to use the N or 2mmFS gauge width for the standard track. As a test to allow me to create test straight track in both gauges I created a simple 500mm length drawing in N for UK gauge and printed it. I then changed to 2mmFS gauge using the gauge/scale selector and printed it. In both cases the Information Panel showed the correct gauge of 9mm and 9.42mm respectively. The printouts were identical. Does this mean that changing the gauge is not possible after a track template has been created? I thought from other reading that a change as simple as this was possible. Is the only way I can get a printout of a 2mm 9.42mm gauge straight by creating it as an original? This is not a problem with the turnouts I have designed as I intend to still use the 9mm standard in their case. Regards, ken PS ...

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.
