... 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 ...
... they were not interested/skilled enough for that, and simply wanted a version of Templot which they could dabble in to understand how it works and learn about coding. I therefore released a separate source version called TemplotMEC as a zip attachment here on the Templot Club forum, and provided some instructions on how to get started with it on a free compiler, see: topic 3283 The actual interest turned out to be near-zero. After 12 months not a single contribution had been made to the SourceForge project, and very few references to TemplotMEC here, with no actual new code posted. I therefore deleted the collaborative stuff on SourceForge and left it as a simple zip download of TemplotMEC for anyone who wants it. I have also decided not to spend any more time on it, and to concentrate on further developments of Templot2 only. having two separate versions that are not part of the main product roadmap gives little incentive to participate. This link may provide further info on the open source philosophy- especially the section Understanding Community Expectations Templot2 is not ...

Hi Leo, I have recently been trying to write a guide document for constructing custom turnouts, however, have had to put this to one side a few weeks ago due to more pressing work. But since Martin is very busy at this time, and seeing your plight, I thought it might be helpful to you if I sent you what I have written, although it is an unfinished document, and needs much more work. I can only hope that it does help, and not confuse you or anyone else.

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.

... be safe Martin just developing Templot for the PC, heck, my Dad has a whole Windows machine just to run an old copy of Quicken because he hates the newer versions, he runs a Mac for day-to-day. posted: 27 Nov 2010 11:33 from: Paul Boyd 10 years is not a long time, and I personally can't see me not still using a desktop computer. 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 ...

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!

... . It does illustrate why I'm finding it so difficult to write the docs for Templot. In the early days of Templot I felt that I had a good grasp of where users were coming from and what assumptions I could make about their knowledge of trackwork and model track construction. Of course, at that time there were about 10 users and I reckoned at most there would only ever be about 50 or 100. Whereas in the first 24 hours there have been 125 downloads of 218b, and if it stays current for a few months it will rack up around 3000. Which means that nowadays I don't seem to have a clue about the users. I feel that almost anything I mention has to be accompanied by a lengthy explanation going right back to the basics. The reason Templot lets you create such a turnout as a B-12 is that there might occasionally be a reason for using one, if you know what you are doing. For example, if you are creating a scissors crossover, it is helpful to use a turnout which has ...
... settings are based on individual templates, or apply to all the pages. However, as Jim says it seems to be more than one page, and on the second page there is just a tiny fragment of rail showing at the top left.

... 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/ ...
74. Changes in 218d
... 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, ...

... topic: 2885 A rethink of plans posted: 31 May 2016 22:06 from: kellyh So if you'll recall, I previously posted with a few issues I was having with the layout plan I'd drawn. In the end I decided to go back and try again. Rather than having a crossover on a transition curve, it is now straight, though it might look better as a Y, but not entirely sure how to achieve that at present, but for now it works to give the overall idea for figuring things out. I also have added a single slip at the left end. I followed the tutorial video best I could and *think* I've got it right, but I'm not convinced of that. Might have messed the single slip alignment up somewhere along the way, not entirely sure. the plan is for a traverser each end, and the 3 long parallel tracks are planned to be hidden underneath scenery and accessed from the traverser. Any thoughts and suggestions welcomed. Attachment: attach_2291_2885_woolwich_dockyard ch_2016_05_31_2159_53.box 257 posted: 1 Jun 2016 ...
... 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. The delays have been as much as a few days! Is this just me, or is anyone else seeing this? Edit:- this post came through by email virtually instantly, of course!

... stage, and replicate the operations before moving to the next stage. Also this is claimed to work on all existing formats on all devices. We'll see. If so it means you could display it on your mobile device while following the operations in Templot on your main computer. To see what I'm talking about, please go to: edit: http://templot.com/companion/index.html?fit_turnout_to_existing_curves.htm and have a play. You won't learn much -- this short tutorial is a repeat of something which I posted a few days ago. But I would like some feedback about how well the format works. This trial is only 7 stages with brief notes, but I expect future tutorials would be much longer with more detailed notes. Click the first image to start and display the first stage. Move to the next stage by moving your mouse pointer over the screenshot near the right-hand edge and clicking the arrow button which then appears. Likewise on the left-hand edge to move to the previous stage. Click the big X button ...

Martin. posted: 26 Dec 2016 09:14 from: Jim Guthrie Well worth a look for anyone interested in programming, especially since it's free. I used Delphi to write software to run the core of my business and it was so much easier to use than the competition- C++ at the time- and so much faster to compile. I could do almost interactive coding by writing a few lines, then compile and debug to see if they worked. With other compilers you could have a cup of tea while waiting for the compiled output.

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.
