... the download page, there's nothing about which version of Windows to use- could you specify an earliest version of Windows 7, running natively on a PC? Could Templot itself even detect what it's running on and pop up an appropriate warning? Cheers, Paul posted: 9 Sep 2020 12:13 from: Judi R Most websites and/or browsers won't allow an OS earlier than Win 7 to access the internet at all these days, so that should look after itself. I quite agree with you that testing on Windows 10 should be sufficient, anything else is buyer beware.

... one printer calibrated and in the file, that the print now feature would use that calibration by default? Best wishes, John posted: 2 Oct 2020 18:07 from: Martin Wynne John Pletta wrote: Would it be possible on the print now feature, if there is only one printer calibrated and in the file, that the print now feature would use that calibration by default? Hi John, I'm having a think about that. There is a significant problem -- using the wrong calibration data is likely to be 10 times worse than using the printer uncalibrated. Even if Templot finds some saved calibration data, there is no way of knowing that it applies to the very same unchanged actual physical printer that you are about to use. You may have obtained a new printer, or had an old one repaired. Folks could go on unknowingly using out-of-date calibration data for years. The only way round this I can think of is the current one -- you saved the file, you know which printer you are using ...

805. Skewing platforms
... concourse across the end of the platforms, the way to do that is to add a platform to a dummy centre-line-only plain track template. Set the front edge spacing... to say -100 inches (minus), so that the centre-line is hidden below the platform on the output. Using that trick you can create odd-shaped chunks of platform to fill in any spaces, and move them around using the usual template mouse actions. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Nov 2016 10:26 from: Phil O Hi Martin I have managed to get it to skew by shortening the length of the platform and then skewing it roughly to where it needed to be and then returning it to the full length of the template, I was then able to tweak it.

... the combining and aligning for you. You have done well with the double crossover at the junction, I recognise the similarity with the live session clips. I agree that it is almost certainly an offset half-scissors rather than an outside slip. Do you have any prototype photos of this location? Start by overlaying two turnouts, facing and trailing, and roam them onto the toe marks on the map. After a quick dabble the south one is looking to be about B-7 and the north one about C-10. Both look to be regular V-crossings with extended entry straights to get all the V-crossings clear of one another: 2_111814_290000000.png To create the K-crossings, peg dummy plain track templates onto the switch heel or entry straight, curve them to match the turnout roads, and then make a diamond crossing at their intersection. I will have a go at that and maybe make a bit of video. when I try to move I am only moving an unwanted template that I can't seem to delete no matter ...

Hi Brian, Hold down the SHIFT key while you click Maximize, to extend programs across both monitors. You will find many programs work better if you have the primary monitor on the left.

If you haven't created a group of templates, you will have the option to group all of them for the conversion. Unfortunately it is not mathematically possible to do a perfect conversion unless the gauge:scale ratio and the gauge:flangeway-gap ratio remain the same. In practice this means only the proto gauges convert closely: S7- S- P4- Proto87- S2 etc ...

816. Radstock S&D
... One end then goes through a stud wall into a garage, giving an extra 3m x 0.5m. The left hand end will have Tyning Bridge about 1.3m from the end, which will serve as a scenic break to give a good metre of fiddle area. The station sits to the right of the sidings, and extends through the stud wall. Beyond that is plain twin track as far as I can get it. Any comments gratefully received! Thanks.

You obviously like building double slips -- 4 in a row! You've gone a bit wrong with the track spacings. You've got 5 tracks all at 6ft way, which isn't prototypically correct, although you may have done it intentionally for space reasons. On the prototype, multiple tracks are required to alternate 6ft way minimum and 10ft way minimum, so that there is space on at least one side for staff to be safely ...
... , instead of 'print group'( I'm waiting for new glasses!). Is there a way to reinstate a group from 'wipe group'? I tried the back key and 'rebuild group' and neither made any difference, so I had to open the saved plan and go through all the group selection process again. I don't save any groups as I'm continually selecting different parts and it's unlikely I will ever need to go back again to a group. It's not the end of the world, just takes me 5-10 mins to set it up again, but knowing you, I'm sure there's a reinstate group after wipe somewhere....

... topic: 2861 Background Shapes colour posted: 17 Mar 2016 08:09 from: PaulTownsend An existing file of shapes has colours all very pale yellow so the lines are barely visible after adding a picture. I have tried changing the shapes colour but it doesn't seem to work, although the line thickness switch works, and any individual shape selected appears in red I am sure I have done this before successfully, what am I doing wrong? Last edited on 17 Mar 2016 08:12 by PaulTownsend posted: 17 Mar 2016 10:00 from: PaulTownsend I found the inhibition to change shapes colour is connected with the fact that the imported picture has a frame that is in itself a shape and much larger than the picture. That shape gains the new colour requested. So it seems the picture frame suppresses colour change of other shapes behind it, which is a shame. posted: 17 Mar 2016 12:15 from: Martin Wynne PaulTownsend wrote: So it seems the picture frame suppresses colour change of other shapes behind it, which is a ...

820. Irregular slips
... topic: 3840 Irregular slips posted: 23 Dec 2020 11:10 from: Graham Long I have started making a single slip. My initial step was to "make irregular diamond at intersection". The setup is a main road of 6000mm radius with an adjacent loop road on a radius 6044.67. The ladder turnout was a 1:8 with a resultant turnout radius of 4286.96. The slip will go from the loop road (6044.67 radius) to the branch. This resulted in a one V of 4.37 and the other of 6.86 I thought these were relatively generous curves. However, in another topic Martin mentioned that a V of 1:5 was much to small for a slip road. What is considered to be the smallest V that I could use? I could make the branch curve bigger but then there wouldn't be a the same curvature through the ladder and turnout. I would also be interested to know how close the V should be to a whole number or half of one e.g. 1:6, 1:6.5, ...
