See also this topic: topic 604 regards, Martin. posted: 11 Sep 2009 17:01 from: richard_t How did the printing go? And was it as cheap as they suggested? What's the quality of the paper? Thanks. posted: 11 Sep 2009 20:46 from: JFS Martin, Many thanks for this. It comes as a surprise as I have used PDF995 many times in colour without problems- including printing some rather large signal box diagrams! I suppose, to keep things in perspective, we lived with monochrome for years before Templot, but- given the option- I would prefer to avoid both logos and spare pages (especially if the page size is 24 x 108!) and to have the colour! Many thanks, and Best Regards, Howard. posted: 11 Sep 2009 21:05 from: Mark Leigh Hi Richard, Printing Companies Plotter gone wrong. Meant to be fixed today 11/09/ ...

... run through the tutorials and ask questions on here. 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.

It includes every item in current use and is updated either automatically whenever there is a change or on demand by the user. Microsoft Word saves the current file in Normal.dot and also a backup file every xx number of minutes as defined by the user.

See the small print at the bottom of every page. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Mar 2015 23:37 from: Judi R As one of the (nearly) silent majority, may I say that I like using Templot and I have learnt to create some beautiful track layouts. As others have said, it isn't the easiest software to learn but when was that ever a qualification for "good" software! I spent all of my working life in the railway industry including quite a bit of time designing P Way layouts in the drawing office and surveying them on site. I was especially chuffed when I managed to produce a symmetrical 3-way turnout with all the timbers shoved in all the right places. Martin, please keep up the good work!

... normally- I don't think it's connected to the internet check. There's not even any consistency- I just ran it again, again it couldn't connect to the internet (odd!), but it quit normally. Third time it started with no problems. Sorry! posted: 26 Mar 2012 20:27 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, Thanks for that -- it sounds to be a timing problem. Templot is trying to quit while there are still some unhandled entries in the Windows message queue. The code already includes a delay to clear the queue before quitting, but I will look again at this. What other software do you have running at the same time? Anyone else seeing this? There is a known issue where TDV won't close without saving a .box file first, but in that case you see normal dialogs, and TDV closes happily once you agree to save the file. regards, Martin. posted: 27 Mar 2012 09:01 from: Ian Allen Morning, Can't say I have come across this issue.

... here. But we are going to change all that. So for the past month I have been taking prototype track construction plans and converting them into files readable by laser. Forget sleepers, forget turnout timbers. Instead, we offer complete track and turnout bases in laser cut ply. And not just generic versions. You want 44'6" GWR track panels, you can have 'em. LNWR 60'? NER 45'? MR 45'? They are on our workbench. Turnout bases which you can curve like flexitrack, including NER interlaced, MR with 14" timbers where the Midland positioned them- the possibilities are endless- the list is endless. For narrow gauge modellers, we have made a start with 0n30 bases, and four sizes of spikes and flat bottom rail to suit. You do not need templates or layout generating programmes- although our system will work well with Templot and similar. With no more than a back of envelope sketch, you use the bases to create the track formation, glue them down. Ballast it at the ...
... re receiving direct emails recently. I got what you were complaining about, but a number of people didn't. Not because they have learning difficulties, but due to a whole set of issues, such as, say for example, their emotional state when reading the post. All sorts of things can have an effect on your comprehension at any time. There is very little you can do for highly dyslexic people in this case. Structural reading comprehension issues, like wise. They can have deep educational reasons and sometimes medical reasons including physiological ones. Most of us had times when we "zoned out" at school during the bits we didn't like or understand. 12 years of training ourselves to "turn off" when it was hard I do feel that has a lasting effect. With the best will in the world, all manuals give off that feeling where your eyes glaze over and you mind starts to wander. Even if it is something you want. It usually means that you are not ready to take it in. Either because you are ...
... 12ft, 15ft straight heel types. Apologies. I had another copy of Templot running at the same time and got confused. Easily done these days. You are using old-pattern straight switches, which are the best option in the absence of specific customized LNWR switches. Also on this point, you suggest I need the LNWR chairing data, but can this be found in Templot? Unfortunately no. Even if it was available, there is no way Templot could contain the data for every pre-grouping company. I included the GWR data because I had it available and it is a popular company to model. Templot includes full customizing options for the switches, so the idea is that users create their own company templates from the prototype data. And hopefully share them around other users. Of those drawings I have viewed, there are some dimensions noted which give the spacing between the centres of adjacent chairs for various sized and angled crossings. Unfortunately, none as far as I can see, give a datum starting point where the dimensions should be ...

... " and 78" respectively when they should be 78" and 108" respectively. I've searched the code and I can't see how that could be the result of a bug. On the other hand it seems unlikely that you would have manually reduced both of them by exactly 30" intentionally. Did you copy these templates originally from an earlier design for very short or narrow-gauge templates? The minting process resets the wing rail and vee rail lengths (if the switch is an REA design), but doesn't at present include resetting the check rail lengths. I have now included the REA check rail lengths in the minting process for the next Pug (if the switch is an REA design). Whether I should have done that is moot. "Minting" is intended to return your template to a "generic" design for your chosen company prototype, removing any changes likely to be specific to a single template. For example any timber shoving is reset, but not the flare length on the wing and check rails which is likely to be ...

... do not know how much it cost in the past to buy so do not have any guideline as to prices? Hi Art, A standard licence for Templot was £46.50 downloaded. It had been at that price for over 10 years until last month. For comparison, here are the approximate current download prices of some other model track software: 3rd PlanIt $125= £80? WinRail £50 and £70 S21-ModellGleis E64= £55? Cadrail $68= £45? AnyRail £35 Trax3 £17.50 (including signalling book) XTrackCad free None of these are directly equivalent to Templot of course. The only two which are suitable for handbuilt track construction are S21 and Trax3. There have been several generous donations today, for which many thanks. I wasn't expecting donations from users who have already paid for Templot, so such votes of thanks are much appreciated. Thank you. It does feel odd and a little uncomfortable to be in effect asking for money. Almost like standing in the street cap in hand. But it is an ...

See also: topic 3539 The original "starting with Lazarus" topic is at: topic 3283 although I think it might need some updating. The latest set of files is at (click the Files tab): http://sourceforge.net/projects/opentemplot/ including the MECBOX option to import files from Templot2. Ask again if you can't find anything -- things had got into a bit of a muddle. There is an option to try T3 directly within the latest Templot2 program update -- T3> run Templot3 menu item. cheers, Martin. posted: 8 Feb 2020 16:04 from: DerekStuart Many thanks Martin.

97. Route control
... topic: 234 Route control posted: 12 Nov 2007 04:04 from: renluethi Hello, I have built many turnouts with the help of Templot (and Martin of course) for my model railroad layout currently under construction. It includes a main station with a shunting yard, both totaling 42 turnouts and approx. 102 routes. I would like to set the desired route by entrance – exit route switching, in other words by pressing two buttons on a control panel. The selected route should be flashing until the affected turnouts are in the end position and then steady lighted. I have this kind of control panel already on the layout, for a small station with seven turnouts and nine routes. The electronic filled two euro cards with components. I think for these 102 routes it will fill several cake tins with components and it will be daunting complex. I have the idea that this could be made simpler with the usage of microprocessors. Has anyone realized something like that, or is there a source for a solution? I prefer a microprocessor ...
... Aug 2007 10:21 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, p.s. Something else to try -- after installing 091b, delete the file TemplotZero.exe.manifest from the Templot program folder. This will cause Templot to revert to the Windows Classic style of buttons and menus, but no functionality will be lost. Does this cure the problem? (This is an XML file and in the last few days MS have issued a security update to XML Core Services. But after applying the update all is working fine here. This file is included with 091b but not 091a.) 091b introduced multiple monitor support. Are you using multiple monitors? If so, what happens if you switch off multiple monitors in the Windows Display Properties before launching 091b? regards, Martin. posted: 19 Aug 2007 11:09 from: Zoë Topper Dave, Me too.

... , you probably realise that my main motivation in open-sourcing Templot a couple of years ago was to ensure that it remains available if I get run over by a bus. There are quite a few users with lifetime projects who would be stuck if Templot vanished with me. The possibility of getting it ported to other platforms wasn't uppermost in my mind, although of course it all helps to keep it alive if a future version of Windows takes objection to it. Not all of it could be open-sourced because it includes some copyright components for which I purchased licences. Since making it open-source the road has been a bit rocky, and the level of interest lower than I expected. Most recently we had a diversion into Gits and Tortoises which left me utterly confused and not knowing which way to turn. I came to the conclusion that my way of working with code was so different from anything that could be called current industry-standard that no-one but me would ever be able to follow it or take it forward. ...
... Andrew But it was a piece of cake compared to the much bigger problem, and I simply have no idea how to do that -- how to make sure that everyone knows it's there? cheers, Martin. Martin My instantaneous, but not thought through reaction at 5.00am is this. When you do an update you oblige us to install it, couldn't you do the same with a summary of the changes you've made? Any regular user will be only too pleased to look to see if his or her requests have been included in your latest incarnation! I suspect that I missed it because at the time I just dipped in to print off something and was in a hurry. I'm probably missing out a fundamental flaw in human nature in this reply, which means my thoughts are far too simplistic and won't answer your problem. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
