... topic: 3076 Important -- 215a map screenshots posted: 10 Sep 2017 18:19 from: Martin Wynne There is an important point to make about using the new screenshot maps function in 215a. I failed to make this clear in the notes. When the embedded browser appears it is important that its zoom setting is set to display images dot-for-dot. Otherwise Templot's size calculations for the screenshot will be wrong. This is the case when it first appears, but you need to take care not to change it. To zoom the map, make sure to use the+/- buttons on the map, or click on the map and then use the mouse wheel. That way the web site will receive the wheel activity and adjust the URL accordingly. Take care not to zoom the entire browser page by clicking off the map -- for example on the header section -- and then using Ctrl+ Wheel or the usual browser keyboard shortcuts for zooming. If you do that Templot will not know that you have done ...

... the SHIFT key or having the CAPS LOCK on will cause a label to reappear if the mouse runs over its position. So providing you know roughly where the label is, you can wave the mouse about until you find it. Perhaps it's easier just to turn them back on for a moment (END key). p.p.s. Remember to put the CAPS LOCK back off before typing any passwords. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Dec 2017 14:37 from: Alan Kettlewell Great- thank you.. posted: 10 Dec 2017 20:09 from: Martin Wynne Hi Alan, See: topic 3152 cheers, Martin.

... great shame, because Flash is still the only lossless format for web use with screen capture video. For still images we sensibly have 2 formats -- JPG for real world images, and PNG for computer line graphics. Not that you would know it, judging by the number of folks who use JPG for line graphics, even on technical sites where you would think they would know better. But for video there is only the one HTML5 format, which is utterly useless for line graphics, with fuzzy images and file sizes 10 times larger than the same thing in Flash. Folks keep telling me HTML5 video is the way forward, but I have spent hours trying every setting in the book to get it to look as crisp as Flash, without success, and still with massive file sizes. For executable formats we have the TechSmith lossless codec which I used in the old Camtasia videos, and now we have the FBR format for the latest videos. But neither of those can be used on a web page. Fortunately FlashBackConnect provide their streaming server ...

Use the peg/align tools> menus on the background template to do that. When the position is within a group you will be invited to link the group to the notch. Answer Yes. Then put the notch at the destination position. It can't be within the group. The notch will move and take the ...
... .bgs to .bgs3 the missing files do appear. Hi Tony, OK, that's a bug. Many thanks for finding it. It has no effect in Windows7 or Windows10, but obviously does have in XP. Now fixed -- the file name field will be empty in the next program update. If your friend is not too computer-savvy, tell him that the BGS3 file can be dragged and dropped onto the trackpad if he prefers to work that way. cheers, Martin. posted: 1 Sep 2020 17:10 from: Tony W Hi Martin. I am not entirely convinced that an empty file name field will cure it. If I clear the field manually and press enter it makes no difference. Only the .bgs files show. I have also found the dates column you referred to by enlarging the window and clicked on it several times. No difference I'm afraid. The drag and drop function works fine and I can still find the files by adding the 3. Maybe its fundamentally a windows function, which not much can be ...

... longer would be to reduce the gap and therefore the likely hood of wheels bumping through crossings. If you feel it is workable are there downsides to this approach? Kind regards Andrew posted: 24 Jul 2017 01:45 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andrew, Knife-edge sharp vees look awful to anyone familiar with prototype track, and there shouldn't be any need to use them in EM or 4-SF (00-SF). The prototype blunt nose width is 3/4 ", which scales to 0.25mm (10 thou) wide at the tip. With 1.0mm flangeways each side, the widest part of the crossing gap just in front of the nose will then be 2.25mm across between the wing rails (and it's the same for all crossing angles). EM profile "kit" wheels are 2.3mm wide minimum, so it is physically impossible for them to fall into such a gap and the wheel remains fully supported on the wing rail before reaching the vee. If you use RTR-type wheels or Markits driving wheels, they are ...

I won't be making that mistake again especially with the update. posted: 25 Aug 2020 08:20 from: Hayfield Graham I might be talking about the wrong thing, but the final option if all others have been tried is to restart Templot and say yes to loading templates from the previous session Good luck posted: 25 Aug 2020 10:41 from: Graham Long Hi I have tried this.

954. map centerlines
... a testament to your fine work with Templot. Is there not a way to have templot trace a path like a centerline? I could say draft a centerline for some track work in Corel and export it as a DXF or DWG format. import it into Templot then through a centerline selection tool plot the path with nodes or some such? then Templot can build the required track work on that centerline. I think that could be a great tool or a learning assistant what you think? posted: 13 Dec 2007 19:10 from: Alan Turner You are unfortunatly treating Templot as if it were a CAD programme. Templot isn't a CAD programme. This is one of the principal reason why some people have difficulty in learning Templot at first. The first task in using Templot is to forget everything you know about CAD programmes.

... position. With the condensator you could alter the frequencies of you volt, from 30 hz to 1kh, in steps of ~25hz or something so it would only power up the matching frequencie of that coil(condensator) So one power line is needed(two wires, nothing else!), every "set"(points and the switch) will be needing 2 condensators. I will look it up when i have the time, it was really cheap. If bought for 100 turnouts your cost would be not even 10 cents per turnout.

... that is avoided as far as possible because of the rail inclination.) The X8 timber above has 15.5" separation at the position shown, so two bridge chairs will fit, and the timber position isn't tightly controlled by the chair design. It can move a bit to even out the spacings, provided the separation doesn't go below say 14.5". I doubt the gang would go into all this maths -- a bit of chalk and a big hammer seem more likely. regards, Martin. posted: 31 Aug 2017 10:18 from: Judi R Martin, it seems like a hundred years ago since I was in the design office but my memory is that we would use standard straight common crossings unless we were designing a complex junction.

... produces enough of a reduction in the overall height to produce the subtle effect required. If you try to file down the top edge, you will probably overdo it. The reduction in top rail level at the Vee nose is there to cater for the coning of the tread as the flange moves away from the wing rail as it crosses the flangeway gap and drops slightly before being supported by the tip of the Vee.
