... . The parked templates are not saved in any files, so there is no need to go back and delete them before quitting the Templot session. Easiest of all is simply to rely on the rollback register if you need to retrieve a previous control template. That way you don't have to do anything at all -- the last 80 control template changes are always in the register. Just undo changes until you find the one you want -- see: message 15654 regards, Martin. posted: 28 Dec 2013 13:08 from: Brian Nicholls Martin Wynne wrote: You can do that of course, but it's better to do main> store as unused for such back-up purposes.

You might be interested in these USA-style templates in H0: topic 1335 Just download the file and save it to your E:\TEMPLOT_DEV\BOX-FILES\ folder. Then you can use reload to get them loaded into Templot. "USA-style" means narrower close-spaced timbers, and straight loose-heel switches in lengths typical of USA practice. There are some other sample templates that you might like to try: http:// ...

It really needs the BGS file to make sense of it so that is attached to the next message. I can't find a way of attaching more than one file at the moment Jim. And here's the BGS file. This all started when I dug out some baseboards from the loft which I had made over twenty years ago to carry an S scale dog track. The boards made up into a circle of about eight foot diameter, Once I had looked at the boards, I wondered if they could be used again and possibly in N scale which I've been dabbling in of late. So this is the result. I don't think there is a straight line anywhere in the track. The main radius is at or around 36" radius but drops to about 19" in one or two places with crossovers between two concentric curved tracks ...

I've managed to get a trackplan to appear on sketchboard but it only seems to want to print it on one A4 sheet. How can you change this please?

How can you change this please? Hi Dave, What do you want to change? 1. print it on more than one sheet? or 2. print it on a larger or smaller sheet? 1. To print the sketchboard design on multiple sheets like the track templates, use the normal template printing or PDF export functions in the output menu: 2_240057_360000000.png On the preview, tick the print sketchboard items option. You can swap between detail mode and diagram mode as required. You can control the number of pages ...

... teaching of TEMPLOT from such as Missended Abbey or Hobby Holidays (no connection with either of these by the way) or anyone else. Microsoft or AutoCAD don't respond to "how do I do that" queries and I suggest perhaps neither should you. Anyway those are my thoughts on the matter and of course, as I have said, it's your business. However if it's a choice between an enhanced and continuing TEMPLOT and solving everyone's problems then I know where my vote goes.

... base my trackwork designs on the accepted default recommended distances of 6ft and 10ft separation. By this I mean straight parallel tracks will have a nominal 6ft way and tracks then the tracks outside this will have a 10ft way as will goods sidings. However, I also separate my tracks by 10ft in passenger stations, including terminals. This is my assumption, based on the possible requirement for staff to need access to couplings and hoses when joining/separating vehicles. Is my assumption correct?
