... topic: 357 List of changed commands posted: 7 Mar 2008 23:23 from: pcalkel Martin I have been dabbling off and on with Templot for a few years printing basic turnout templates, which I have built while demonstrating at various shows. I now have room for a small layout, so I decided to try to use Templot for designing this layout. I have started using the Track Plan Tutorial from the Web Site to try to learn the program, I am using Version 0.91b, and I can not follow the plan because some of the commands that you use are different in this later version I am using. Do you have a list by version and where to find them in later versions? Paul posted: 7 Mar 2008 23:56 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, The Track Plan tutorial is several years old and overdue for an update. The easiest solution is to go back to Templot version 074b while you work through it. The download link for 074b is: http://www.templot.com/tug/templot_rel_074b_setup.exe Then ...
... the generator engine, a free-running chunk of the Templot program which makes a new build list every time something in the control template specification changes. The build list isn't normally available to the user because it would just be a screenful of numbers. It can however be seen if you export a DXF file. (Those are text-based files which can be opened and edited in any text editor such as Windows Notepad.) 3. a drawing. This is what you see on the screen, or on the printed template. A graphical representation of railway track. For example a brown-coloured line from the top left corner of timber S9 to the bottom left corner, representing the edge of the timber. These lines a drawn on the screen or the printer paper using the information in the build list. storing a template means that the current control template specification is added to the records in the storage box. The result is an unused template in the storage box. The control template remains unchanged. store& background means that after ...
... be the first ever for me as I've purchased all the others ready made! I'm starting with a 5 metre radius turnout kit from Cliff Barker. The moulded sleepers have a standard size separator bar that gives a fixed gap (22.5mm) between sleeper centres as there is a clip that fixes into the next sleeper, this is to aid assembly. Whilst I could cut them all off (which I will have to do when I get into the more complex formations) I would like to retain them and change the template to print out with a standard sleeper spacing. I've spent some time creating a custom turnout but still can't find a way to specify a constant sleeper gap over the full length of the turnout. I would appreciate any help you you can offer. Cheers Roger posted: 21 Nov 2020 17:57 from: Martin Wynne Hi Roger, Please could you attach your BOX file of a template matching the Cliff Barker kit? I've spent a long time looking at his web site, but unable to find any prototype information at all relating ...
... and so forth. I wrote a custom video player for the Templot videos based on Windows Media Player, but there seems to be a problem in Vista with that, and users with ATI graphics cards had problems with it too. Also there are now quite a few Mac users running Templot, and a change to the Flash format will allow the videos to be watched in native Mac mode. regards, Martin. posted: 21 Aug 2008 22:32 from: Hayfield Martin that works fine except that when I try and print, after loading printer data I get a fatal code 24 and Templot shuts down, I have just loaded the 91 plug posted: 21 Aug 2008 22:40 from: Hayfield Martin found the problem, template was off the page, sorry John Ps 4'6" plus 4" to cater for extra 2.5mm looks fine thanks posted: 21 Aug 2008 22:59 from: Martin Wynne Hayfield wrote: Martin found the problem, template was off the page Hi John, Thanks for reporting back.

825. Diamond check rails
... Smith's GWR switch and crossing practice book, blocked crossing work on page 91 shows at 1. the diamond 'V' check in the centre of the turnout 'V' approaches only flared at one end and the other end machined to a blunt nose. That check rail end is such a special with a very short machined flare on both sides that it would be difficult to cover it in Templot, you would have an intimidating screen full of tickbox options. I think this is a case where you either pencil it in on the printed template, or go in for some intricate partial templates. At present you can set only a single flare length for all the V-crossing check rail ends, and machined/bent option for the whole template. However, waiting in the wings is the option to adjust all check rail ends independently by mouse action. Here is a sneak look at the dialog -- but please note this is NYA (not yet available) and it may not be for some time, or look like this when it is: ...
... topic: 3412 7mm scale GWR Double Slip posted: 11 Apr 2019 15:11 from: Stephen Freeman 142_111007_080000001.jpg The Slab& Brackets are from Off the Rails at Shapeways as are a few M1 chairs. The chairs come printed in a clear resin so I used a mixture of Humbrol 24 and 70 Matt paint to match them to the Exactoscale chairs. I added bolt detail to the C&L Slide Rail chairs. (No need to do that in future now that Modelu ones are here). The C&L chairs also received the same paint treatment.

827. PDF Creation
... topic: 1989 PDF Creation posted: 19 Jun 2012 12:13 from: Ray Hughes I chose to create a PDF file of just a couple of pages in order to print out of a template for a point that spans two pages. The initial PDF file created OK and, upon examining it I realised that I needed to change the timber spacings slightly on the adjacent track. I switched back to Templot and overlooked to close the PDF file. I managed to start the PDF (re-)creation but the process stopped with the (error) message Error in BeginDoc. As soon as I realised what was wrong I closed the original PDF file and was once again able to (re-)create a new file. I just wondered whether the error message could be worded to indicate exactly what the error was. posted: 19 Jun 2012 17:57 from: Martin Wynne Ray Hughes wrote: I managed to start the PDF (re-)creation but the process stopped with the (error) message Error in BeginDoc. ...

Simon. posted: 19 Nov 2007 03:42 from: JohnM Simon, The advice has already been given to you, you must work through the tutorials. My own approach was to print out a hard copy (many pages, but worth it) and then build what is before you. I built it twice before I grasped the principles. Since then I have used Templot to design two station layouts. Regards, John M Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... about the rail joint marks in the stock rails at the V-crossing exits. I thought it was about 2 years ago that I temporarily removed them, for what reason I had forgotten, so I thought it was about time I did something about it. How wrong can you be? When I look in the code I find it was actually 20 years ago! // stock rail joints at crossing temporarily removed 28-3 -2000 // nearly always wrong at crossovers // until fixed use manual markup on printed templates I'm always very wary of modifying code so old, because I just know that I will have forgotten about some essential consideration or complication that needs to be allowed for. But I shouldn't be so feeble-brained, and what else are two drizzly grey days for? So I have dived in and made some changes, here's a clip of scruff video: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=HKcLtnVOsx2_-aQm9v1-KA2 (The same method will be used to set the position of droppers and ...
... if you click GO, you should have TemplotMEC running. Note (debugging...) shown in the Lazarus top bar. This means that TemplotMEC is currently running inside Lazarus, and you should get meaningful error messages if there are any. But TemplotMEC will be fully functional and usable in that condition. N.B. note that you won't be able to load any of your existing Templot2 .box files. But you should be able to create TemplotMEC track plans, save them, and reload them, in .otbox format. And print them. Likewise your existing .bgs files, and printer calibration files. The file conversion functions will be available in the next Templot2 program update soon.

835. Windows 7 Ultimate
... 7's "XP mode", please? So far I have not had to use Vista, so I was thinking that my next PC (in due course) might have Windows 7. I didn't try that mode for a number of reasons, primarily printer-related. In brief, I have a 15-ish year old bomb-proof and apparently self-refilling HP Laserjet and an ALPS MD-1300. The former is my default printer and won't work under Win7, so "XP Mode" wouldn't help when printing from Win7, and the MD-1300 drivers are so fussy that there's no way it will work in an emulated mode- it doesn't even like Vista. It would need a genuine XP install as a dual-boot system (which is what I had with Vista, but I chickened out of a triple-boot system with Win7 and installed it on a physically different hard drive.)

It fits within an 8 foot length, though not quite onto two four foot boards- one has to be shorter, the other longer, by 3".

... with no disturbance to the switch areas. I then grouped them and moved them away, and "make diamond at intersection". I propose making this diamond, then lifting it off the template, and fitting it onto the original irregular slip curved template in the same way as I drew it on Templot and completing it from there. This file shows the slip with the new diamond superimposed on it, so it's a mix up, the other file shows the original slip with the diamond separated off to the bottom left to print. Ah- I think only one file can load at a time, the next post will have the separated diamond. I don't know if this would have been possible to do properly on Templot- probably, but involving lots more learning curve.
