... thanks. Brian. p.s. Clever with computers I'm not, though for the most part I do get by. So please keep any responses simple!! posted: 18 Jan 2008 05:43 from: Bob Ellis Hi Brian, Why don't you just print out the instructions/tutorials so that you can refer to them as you work on the screen. One advantage of this is that you can make notes on the paper copy as you go along. Best wishes, Bob Ellis posted: 18 Jan 2008 13:07 from: Paul Boyd Hi Brian I'm using a dual monitor setup, and Windows does make it very easy. You're right in that you'll need a new video card. I don't know whether you currently have on-board video or if it's a separate card, but the painless way is to buy a dual output video card, but this should be no more than around £40 for something with 256Mb. Because of the odd amount of RAM you reported, I'm guessing that you have on-board video that uses ...
... ? If so, is there a better way of construction on the template allowing easy removal? I have just received a bag of small chairs E4CH 203A from C&L which will reduce the amount of trimming required of some of the standard chairs. On the flangeways, I shall check these carefully as I build the track. I have the full set of OO SF gauges. I always start at the crossing V section and work outwards when building the templates. Once again, many thanks. posted: 25 Jan 2016 07:52 from: Hayfield Peter If it is any help, the small (London) C+ L stand has the E4CH 403A 0.8 mm chairs which we use for both 4sf and em gauges. The small stand is at Southampton this coming weekend, perhaps someone is willing to pick up a packet if you cannot make it Turnouts normally use the bridge chairs E4CH 201A I have also found that by using both E4CH 501A (additional) slide chairs and E4CH 502A common crossing chairs no cutting of chairs is necessary I am ...

I'd sort of unconsciously spotted it in so far as the construction template has 12" timbers sat on it at the moment, but I'll amend the file accordingly. The only thing left now is to determine whether the detectors require extended timbers and to "lower" "S1" to take a soleplate, then its filing time.

If you have a look on Google for "powdered glue" there are a number of modern alternatives available and perhaps it is time that we looked at the old method but used with a more up to date adhesive, perhaps we can even find one that retains a degree of flexibility once it has set.

... I'm not sure what you mean by turning Templot off, but if you mean running Templot without an internet connection the only way is to disconnect from the internet after starting Templot. See paragraph 3 at: http://templot.com/companion/index.html?terms_of_use.htm If you use the Hibernate function when turning your computer off, Templot (and all your other running programs) will restart where you left off when you turn the computer back on, without needing an internet connection. regards, Martin. posted: 13 Apr 2014 07:06 from: Hayfield Martin Thank you, I must have misunderstood what has been said in other replies in the past. The reason for the question is that I am doing a track building demonstration at a local show in May. The last one I did I was asked quite a few questions about Templot.

One has a generic type of V-crossing and the other has a regular type of V-crossing: gen_xing.gif reg_xing.gif Full details at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/gs_realtrack.htm#xing_types regards, Martin. posted: 10 Oct 2010 22:15 from: Richard Spratt I'd guessed it was something to do with the crossing. But what I don't understand is that I made both templates one after the other by inserting them into previously drawn straight templates and they got different crossing types? posted: 9 Feb 2011 07:46 from: Gordon S Whilst searching for the answer, I came across this and am unsure if this is the same process. If I take a 1000mm radius circle and insert a turnout, the radius comes out at 1000mm as you would expect. The turnout is an A5. However, if I now draw a straight line which is tangental to the 1000mm circle and then insert a turnout in the straight line, once it is aligned perfectly with the 1000mm curve, it shows the same A5 turnout but now ...

... and instructions I still failed to figure it out. I'm sure it would be a good tool to use since you can apparently print out full layout plans and build your track work on top. But yeh, and I'm 19 so I consider myself to be the younger generation and I've been to college, got a certificate in Engineering, used sophisticated CAD/CAM programs and CNC programs and I still failed to figure out how to use it. But never mind....... posted: 17 Jan 2014 07:13 from: Matt M. Hi Martin, As a teacher of this generation I would point out that someone was probably standing behind him spoon-feeding what he needed to do to get the result with CAD/CAM and CNC. I for one wouldn't let someone run CNC by themselves on equipment I owned as mistakes can be very expensive. And I'm damn sure it took more than an hour to learn. Also typical of the age group a whole hour. He'll never get that back. The pain and ...

... 09 from: Trevor Walling Hello, Ariels Girdl I would not want the track plan to be an end in itself- just a means to an end. I am just curious to know what advantage there would be to me of getting the whole timbering thing absolutely perfect in Templot. Getting the timbers perfect matters only if you are hand building track or parts of a formation. You could omit timbers altogether if you wished. Trevor.

... topic: 2952 picture shapes- upcoming changes posted: 18 Dec 2016 04:07 from: Martin Wynne Over the years I have lost count of how many times I have tried to re-jig the dialogs for importing background images into picture shapes -- sketches, maps and track plans. But still the picture shapes seem to cause confusion for some users. So for the next program update I have had yet another go. There are some changes in functionality. In addition to the previous methods: 1. picture shapes can be created directly by dragging and dropping an image file onto the trackpad. 2. Templot can obtain the image for a picture shape directly from a scanner without needing a file name. 3. Generally I have changed the sequence so that the image is specified first, and the picture shape size and position is set up second. This is back to front as far as the code is concerned, but seems to be the way human brains prefer to work. So here are some of the new dialogs. Really ...

What's the worst that can happen? You don't save what you've just done. It's easy to start again having learnt from your last mistake. Martin has produced a fantastic aid to producing accurate templates for building the layout that you want and that will look right. Stick with it.
