I have felt that a unique identifier would help enormously, especially when tying together all the multiple sheets required for a largish layout. May I also add my voice to the storage of printer settings. It may be my lack of knowledge, but I seem to have to set the page origin, the trim margins and the printer calibration (by reloading the calibration file) every time I want to print from a new session ...

... back I'll be putting together a ton of IKEA furniture for a good few hours. So this means I may not be able to reply in detail until you are all asleep Thanks for all the replies, Martins second suggestion combined with having 2 roads go under the road bridge might be the best suggestion, or I'll just need to live with a "too short" runaround. I need to put my thinking cap on. Thanks!!

I placed the files in the following folder: C:\TEMPLOT\SHAPE-FILES I can load the bacground shape but the track Martin drew is not visible, is this correct, or should I expect to see the track (I'm assuming that the track would have needed to be in a box file, in which case this behaves as expected ...

... scrolling. I always prefer to scroll, just a flick of the mouse wheel takes you up and down the page easily, and you can sit back and read instead of peering forward at the screen. Much more comfortable. But each to his own as always. Perhaps this is a laptop v. desktop thing? I'll add my vote to smaller text rather than scrolling, on both laptops and desktops. I hate scrolling! This is why Ctrl-numberpad thingy is so useful... posted: 24 Jul 2007 02:22 from: John Lewis Martin Wynne wrote: Templot by audio seems to make as much sense as a magic show on the radio!

I had stuck with .82 up til now, but I have now upgraded to .91b. It's looking good (though I don't do much sophisticated stuff like the two-monitor thing). An excellent program has just got even better. Thanks for your efforts- they are greatly appreciated. Last edited on 19 Jul 2007 17:02 by Brian W Lewis posted: 19 Jul 2007 17:49 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, Thanks for your comments. Multiple monitors are now supported. There is an extra dialog during startup with more information if you have multiple monitors available on your system.... especially that bit!! I hope we don't get complaints about one more tap to get Templot to open, if that is the case. Only users with multiple monitors enabled will see the extra dialog. I want to tidy up the startup ...

I think you'd have to work around all the crossings first, then fill in with the rest. It's a bit of a bonkers formation though, something that the GE seem to have excelled at. ...

... realised that I was repeatedly performing a similar operation and posited that it could have been somewhat simpler if there was an additional option on the 'geometry'-> 'peg positions' dialogue to move the peg over the notch- which is greyed out unless and until, the notch is within the bounds of the control template. I had a look round the other menus, but either couldn't find it or didn't realise the wording represented what I wanted to achieve. TIA, Best rgds, Dave P posted: 11 Mar 2014 02:50 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, I'm afraid you have lost me. Can you explain in more detail or post a screenshot showing what you are trying to do? The geometry> notch> shift onto notch menu item is never greyed out. You can always shift the peg on the control template onto the notch -- but of course it takes the whole control template with it. It doesn't change the position of the peg within the template. I think you are trying to move the peg to a ...

... topic: 1768 TDV posted: 6 Jan 2012 23:02 from: dickc Good Evening Martin and All, My apologies if this is the wrong part of the forum, but it is the first time for some while that I have posted a comment. I run Templot on Linux Ubuntu 10.04 using Wine and have found an interesting little phenomenon with the current TDV release. When I have Templot open and I want to shift the track position on the work pad I have, until now, just hit F7 on the keyboard. However with the TDV if I do this Templot immediately shuts down and reverts to the desktop. If I use the F7 tab at the top of the work pad everything functions OK. I have no problem with this, I just have to remember to use the tab not the keyboard. I just thought I would mention it as I know Martin wants to hear about any little niggles that users may have. Best regards and a Happy New Year to All, Dick posted: 7 Jan 2012 02:57 from ...

... . posted: 17 Sep 2007 08:30 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for some off-group messages of support. It seems that Comcast users are equally annoyed. The problem is that instead of filtering each individual email for spam, Comcast takes the lazy way out and blocks entire ISPs and email servers if one user sends spam. To understand how unreasonable this is, imagine that everyone in your street was banned from driving because one of your neighbours was found guilty of dangerous driving! Martin. posted: 21 Sep 2007 02:50 from: Rextanka Thanks for the updates Martin. I think I have changed my preferences to another ISP mail address, so hopefully this wont be more of a problem for you.

... topic: 3622 Email oddities posted: 1 Mar 2020 10:36 from: allanferguson I have things set up to get forum postings by email, and that mostly works fine. However I have recently been receiving multiple email copies of Martin's postings. This morning I received eleven emails with Martin's posting number 473. timed in here at 21:02. The emails were timed between 00:39 and 08:23. It's not a big issue, although there is a risk of me deleting good emails with the rubbish, But I wondered if anyone here might have any idea why this happens. It only seems to affect Martin's postings. Allan F posted: 1 Mar 2020 11:10 from: Paul Boyd Hi Allan I posted a few days ago about some Templot emails not arriving or arriving very (days) late. I'm fairly sure there's something not right about the forum emails at the moment. With missing emails it's a bit tricky to see what's happened because I don't have them! I'm still missing some Templot emails, so now ...
