... 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 because using a previous inkjet printer, an Epson 820 Photo Printer, I was able to align these bang on and this has ...

... sure of it, and this is difficult to see. I will have to tackle it one day though. Tony. posted: 28 Dec 2011 10:00 from: JFS Well, what an interesting little thread this has proved to be! I can see myself doing an experiment with wallpaper paste even before the holiday is out... Tony W wrote: Problems only manifested themselves after some years... Here is the rub when it comes to laying track- it is something most of us do only a few times in our lifetimes- there is no way back once you have committed yourself- even if it is perfect on day one, there is no guarantee of it staying that way.- "mistakes" are costly! Hence the value of an exchange of experiences on a forum like this.

... Granted the tables have now turned but that doesn't mean the principal is wrong. One can remain a niche player or go with the flow and get more customers. A manufacturer can not be arrogant and assume his product is so amazing that customers will flock to it in spite of the difficult learning curve. Same thing with automobiles. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to sell a car if it required a whole new way to drive? Right now I can sit down in any car world-wide and within a few minutes be able to drive it. Same thing applies to computer programs. People are just not going to buy a new program if it requires weeks just to learn the interface before one can get into learning the content. NMRA has defined many standards for model railroading. Manufacturers sell more product if they are NMRA compliant. The same principles apply to the electrical industry. There are standards for wiring. A manufacturer must conform to color-coding, etc. Can you imagine the confusion if each mfg came up with his ...
64. Templot docs
... The problem is that Martin chooses to ignore that fact, in the same way as he ignores one of the basic tenets of the Distance Selling Regulations. (But in fairness, a fair proportions of small model railway traders do the same, so he is not alone). In an earlier message Martin used the Templot Forum as a shield to hide the lack of help documentation, conveniently forgetting that most of us purchased Templot years before the Forum was ever thought of. All this huffing and puffing- and support from a few sycophants cannot disguise the fact that it is a good piece of software, harpooned by the lack of documentation- a piece of carbon, waiting to be transformed into a diamond.

I do have a laptop as well, but who wants to do techy stuff on one little screen? I'm a few years younger than Bruce, but I also can't get into all this iwaffle malarkey. It really does seem to be technology just for the sake of it, and from what I've seen it doesn't seem that reliable. It also seems strange, in this age of reducing waste, to make so many disposable gadgets that are made redundant within 12 months by the next super-duper must-have widget. We're already going to have a massive mountain of unusable FM radios in a few years time when the signals are switched ...
... by-side, not overlapping. (If the line width is set to more than 1, the border lines should overlap by half the additional width.) When aligning images it may be helpful to de-select the borders (PICTURE SHAPES tab). N.B. Please bear in mind that Templot is not fully-fledged graphics imaging software- this "bare-bones" twist function is intended primarily to permit the alignment of scanned track plans. Some degradation of the image quality is inevitable if twist angles exceed a few degrees. If an image needs a large twist, it is better to do this first in image editing software before loading it into Templot.____ v: 0.91.c© regards, Martin. posted: 21 Aug 2010 17:26 from: JFS Hello Martin, You asked a question- do we actually read this stuff- answer yes, I do, but I have to be honest, I would read it MUCH MORE if it were in a help file so that is was INDEXED and SEARCHABLE and ...

... the message as it was presented and not based on your own personal experience of Mr Shillito's Templot usage and knowledge. Hi Paul I don't think I added anything which couldn't be gleaned from the message, except to point out that Andrew has not only promoted the use of Templot but has written an article on it. I actually have no particular knowledge of Andrew's use of Templot. However, I thought the fact that he has not only designed 4 layouts in Templot but has actually built them probably puts him amongst a very select few Templot users!

... with no (printed) pages. I have an HP Photosmart printer and believe that I have calibrated it as best I can. As a matter of routine I tend to re-cycle pre-used paper that has already been printed on one side so I'm not necessarily using paper from the same original packet throughout the print process of 65 sheets. My first error was not to set the PDF print option to print Actual Size which left me wondering why the layout plan did not fit on the baseboards. That and a few other things that I'd failed to do before printing has seen me print the 65 pages more than once before and discard them almost immediately. I'm now working with the first set of sheets that I've totally stuck together, all previous prints have either been loosely overlaid or only had a few sheets stuck together. The latest print fits the baseboards although the overlaid background shapes- the baseboard outlines- don't exactly match the real thing but I haven't checked the dimensions of these shapes to confirm that I entered the details exactly (although ...

... topic: 1276 New to Templot and need help posted: 21 Oct 2010 23:23 from: Mike Huxley Hi all, I'm new to using the system and can't work out how to do a few things, so Please give me a few pointers. First one.... How do you create a simple loop in a curved track without crossing points? Second one.... How do you make a simple siding off the running line without using "return curve", as this doesn't seem to work in extending a sidding at a different angle to the main line. Maybe it's my age and not understanding all of the tuturials. However, help for the simple things is needed... Please.

... room in a 'u' shape with the fiddle yard situated outside in the hallway. Of course, the fiddle yard will only be erected for running sessions. The inner two lines are the 'up' and 'down' lines,the third outer most line entering the fiddle yard leads to an imaginery off scene goods yard and loco shed. The outer most line leads to an imaginery off scene harbour. There have been some slight changes made to the original design, timbers have been shoved and check rails adjusted. Working from what few pictures I have, and with a bit of artistic licence, I have tried to create N.B. interlaced sleepers. I would be grateful for any comments- good or bad.

... have not been able to master the programme- but I guess I am not alone in this. One thing I find frustrating and cannot seem to solve is the problem of 'when is saving, not actually saving?'. Let me explain. I create a template and/or series of templates. OK. It is my own aberration but before I create anything I perform the following actions: Real- Timbering, I uncheck the 9' sleepering and replace by 8'-6" sleepers. (I guess so few folk model 9' sleepers that perhaps the default is the wrong way round. I also check timber ends in line. Generator- generator settings. I uncheck, (one at a time- why not a pop-up that allows me to so do in one operation)?, track centre lines, radial end marks, outline extension marks, timber centre lines, timber infill, 8'6" marks on 9' sleepers, guide marks. This leaves me with an uncluttered template/templates that I feel is/ ...

The single linking line is an addition to allow running to commence whilst the outdoor loop lines are built.

... worth digging out a copy if you can. Regarding the catalogue, there are no point kits as such, but an etch that provides all sorts of special chairs and some very good instructions. 2-bolt or 3-bolt refers to the prototype- the GWR used 2-bolt chairs whereas lesser railways used 3-bolt I haven't yet made up my mind on tiebars- the trackwork in the photos is waiting for more space to be able to build the layout. My main concern is one I have with a few one-man bands selling very good product- I get committed to a particular product, then for whatever reason it disappears off the market. I notice the catalogue is three years old, so your first port of call would be to send an SAE (remember those?) to Michael Clark and check current pricing- it may simply be 2017 pricing still. When I have placed orders, they've always arrived very quickly- it probably takes me longer to find my cheque book! (Remember those, as well? ...
... I'm noticing that some emails from the Templot Forum are either being delayed or don't arrive at all. For instance, in the "Beginners queries" thread, I've only had the email reply about Templot being a 3D program, timed at 05:19 (don't you sleep?!?!?) The previous two posts haven't (yet) arrived, and neither are they in any junk folders. I've also noticed this on other threads, but can't work out a pattern.

78. Go slow on a Mac
... iMac In that case I'm a bit puzzled, because running on a Linux desktop here is fine. Is the iMac known for overheating problems? I know nothing about Macs. Have Apple crammed everything into the smallest neatest box they can find, leaving no room for decent ventilation? Martin. Quite possibly. Let me put it this way, I downloaded a small tool which enables me to control the speed for the HDD, ODD and CPU fans, which has generally seen a marked improvement in things. the Mac is a few years old now, bought in the days when people got such things as annual bonuses, and has had its memory upgraded to enable the latest OS to run. It may be getting a bit past its best before date, but this particular issue is not new- it had gone away for a while, but has come back, so I finally thought I would mention it! I also have issues with bringing dialog boxes to the front, for example if I delete a group of templates, I have to acknowledge ...

... that wouldn't get changed very often, and certainly not in the middle of using some software. But it's possible a virtual machine may allow it to be dragged to a new size at any time. I just don't know. I'm trying very hard not to get forced into a position where I have to buy a Mac computer just to understand what's going on. Every time problems are reported I find it very difficult to follow what is being said. You don't want to hear what I'm going to say next. But a few years ago I had a system which produced results very similar to your screenshot, and that turned out to be a faulty graphics card. I'm hoping that this will prove to have been a temporary glitch, and that the next time you do a restart it will come right. Try to do that with nothing else running, so that we are not looking at problems caused by a shortage of memory. cheers, Martin. posted: 14 Feb 2018 17:56 from: madscientist Martin Wynne wrote: Hi Dave, ...
