... been renamed "the control template". This was the only term I could find which made clear both its unique nature and the fact that it is a design tool, not a part of the track plan. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions about this at different times. This then required some further changes to remove the word "control" elsewhere: The "control" menu has been renamed the "main" menu. The "control room" window has been renamed the "program panel". "Portrait" printing has been renamed "end-run". "Landscape" printing has been renamed "side-run". There are some notes about these meanings at print> page orientation/origin>? orientation- help menu item. In addition the "drawing pad" has been renamed the "workpad", to make clear that Templot is not a CAD-style drawing program. There is a new HTML-based viewer for the internal Help notes. At present the content is largely unchanged, but it will now ...
... topic: 3184 Colour Printing issue posted: 15 Jan 2018 07:32 from: JFS I recent bought (at huge expense!) a Xerox Versa Link C405 colour laser printer. But, selecting the "Print in Colour" menu item brings up an "INVALID REQUEST- Printer is not a colour printer or is not set for printing in colour" message. But actually it is, and it is. (and it prints fine from other applications.) My previous printer was an HP colour laser and that worked alright. Is there another setting somewhere which I am missing? Just on minor note, I have to smile when the printer dialogue asks me if it is a "Dot matrix printer"- the last time I even saw one of those is at least 25 years ago! Many thanks and best wishes, Howard posted: 15 Jan 2018 15:29 from: Martin Wynne JFS wrote: I recent bought (at huge expense!) a Xerox Versa Link C405 colour laser printer.

... topic: 922 Waterproof tough paper for printed templates posted: 12 Aug 2009 15:25 from: Martin Wynne This looks interesting: http://www.toughprint.com A tough waterproof paper substitute, available for both ink-jet and laser printers in A4 and A3 sizes. It would presumably eliminate the problem of shrinkage and distortion of multiple-page track templates from laser printers. It's popular with outdoor users for printing maps from the web. Has anyone tried it for track construction templates? regards, Martin. posted: 12 Aug 2009 18:22 from: Alan Turner But it's £160/ream!

... topic: 1415 Printing templates on A3 posted: 10 Mar 2011 09:26 from: brianlwood I have a query with regard to printing templates from Templot. I currently print in A4 then marry the sheets together, no problems there. However, I am considering buying an A3 printer. Is there a way that I can then print onto A3 paper and get all of a turnout on such paper. Kind Regards, Brian Wood. posted: 10 Mar 2011 09:44 from: Stephen Freeman Maybe. Depends on the Turnout/scale of course. 0 Gauge A6 on Super A3 will fit, anything much bigger will need 2 sheets. You could of course go for an A3 printer that will print on roll paper if that's an issue. posted: 10 Mar 2011 09:47 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, Yes, Templot prints to whatever paper size you have set on the printer. If you set the printer to print A3 size, that will be the size of the pages from Templot. They will fit together by ...
... topic: 1431 Printing to a PDF file posted: 22 Mar 2011 10:29 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I must be doing something wrong but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I want to print a fairly large plan out to PDF, so that it can be sent to a commercial printer for printing. It's over the limit for A4. Whenever I try to set the page size to something useful like A0 or A1, the program asks me to calibrate the printer, now, fairly obviously I can't do this as I can't actually print it out, not having the printer. So I cancel that, try to print but the page size has gone back to A4!!!! What's the way round this if there is one please? posted: 22 Mar 2011 11:22 from: Martin Wynne Hi Stephen, If you are unable to do a printer calibration you should select the option to use printer uncalibrated, don't cancel the printing. You may want to create a custom paper size in ...

When I changed from "side" run to "end" run to print out some trial templates for Singleton I find I don't get full coverage of the layout, with a significant number of pages absent- any suggestions? many thanks for any suggestions Also, I will need to change my computer in the near future- is it possible to transfer TEMPLOT across to the new machine. best wishes Richard ps the box file is reasonably similar to the one I uploaded. posted: 21 Oct 2011 10:55 from: Martin Wynne Richard_Jones wrote: When I changed from "side" run to "end" run to print out some trial templates for Singleton I find I don't get full coverage of the layout, with a significant number of pages absent- any suggestions?

... topic: 333 Printing on continuous roll paper via a dxf file posted: 11 Feb 2008 19:42 from: Gordon S I have finished my layout design which is 5.6m square. Part of the layout is a large terminus 5.6m long and just under 1m wide. I have grouped all the elements of the terminus together and used the export dxf file process to send a file to a print company who are endeavouring to print the terminus plan on continuous roll paper. The problem I have is that they are only seeing an A3 plan and not the full size. I have read the dfx help notes and sent both a "scale unchecked" version and another where I have checked the "scale" box and seen that the scale is set at 100%, both with the same result, they are only seeing an A3 file. Any ideas? Has anyone generated a large plan using dfx files? I have asked Martin and he can see no reason for it but suggested posting here. I will have to mail the file if required ...
... topic: 1560 Printing templates posted: 9 Jul 2011 13:53 from: PeteScR New to Templot and finding my way around. Having created a plan, what is the process for printing individual templates that make up the plan? Thanks posted: 9 Jul 2011 14:55 from: Martin Wynne PeteScR wrote: New to Templot and finding my way around. Having created a plan, what is the process for printing individual templates that make up the plan? Hi Pete, Click the print> print entire pad menu item. Then answer some questions about your printer. If this is your first time printing I recommend that you select the use printer uncalibrated option. You will then see a print preview screen showing how the templates will fit the printed pages. Click the omit page and print page buttons repeatedly to select the pages for the part of your plan which you want to print. Finally click the cancel all remaining pages button. There are other options to make an individual template fit the page outlines better and to isolate it from the ...
... topic: 1780 Calibration print too faint to be measured. posted: 12 Jan 2012 20:49 from: Debs. Hello everybody, Some of you may know me from the RM-web forum. I`ve been waiting for V2 to be finalised and released (and to donate); but in the interim I`ve downloaded TDV (# 4703) .....I have been learning the ropes and enjoying the superb features, but have run into what feels like a 'silly' problem. I have an HP PSC 1400 (USB) 'all in one' scanner/printer (which is known good), ink levels ok, and it prints perfectly well (with dense blacks and rich colours) when using other programmes on my computer...but, not with Templot it seems! I`ve set the printer to 'best' 'highest dpi' and followed the Templot instructions on setting-up and calibrating the printer: the printing, measuring and proofing process. The problem is, that the framed-page to ...
... topic: 2337 printing dialog box posted: 29 Oct 2013 16:13 from: LSWRArt Hi Martin, When we go into the print dialog box (the one where you can choose to omit certain pages), would it be possible to include 'change origin' (or even better, 'move templates within page'- which would only work while in the print dialog box) as an item within the print dialog box. The reason is that I often just want to print part of the selected templates (for example, the crossing area- as I solder that up, before assembling the rest of the point) and it is quite lengthy going:- print dialog.- I then notice that the crossing is on a page join. Better to move it to the page centre.- close print dialog. Open 'change origin' dialog- change origin.- go back to 'print dialog'- I then realise that I moved the templates the wrong way (the page moves, not the template, so you increase the offset to ...
... enjoyable time down south and perhaps get in some gentle modelmaking as well. Bon vacances. Andrew posted: 20 Sep 2017 23:53 from: Andrew Duncan Hello everyone Here's a picture or two of tonight's progress. I'm starting to install the servos for the turnouts. Somewhere on the Scalefour E forum I found a link to the company Alu Rail Tech who produce these rather knatty little right angle brackets for holding not only the servo but also one or two microswitches. On the underside of the baseboard I've stuck a mirror image print out of the track so that I don't get confused when wiring up. This I omitted to do with the junction board producing some unexpected results.

... topic: 3599 Zoom on print map posted: 22 Jan 2020 12:29 from: Gordon S Hi Martin, quick question for you.... Is there a zoom facility on the print map? As you know I use grouping a lot and sometimes I just want a crossover plus a few inches of the approach/exit track. I find it quite difficult to actually see where the crossover is on the map. Here's a pic. but of course it is larger than the normal screen size, so doesn't look as bad. Is there an issue with upload images? I followed the route and it started the upload, but nothing happened. It's a 557KB jpeg image and I waited four minutes.... I now added it as an attachment. The page preview helps, but that's much larger and I have to check each page individually. I'm sure there is a way to zoom in on the print map so I can select the three or for pages required, but haven't found one yet. Grateful for any ...
... topic: 1551 Printer calibration data posted: 26 Jun 2011 18:40 from: richard_t Hello Has the calibration data format changed? When printing with an old calibration file, the output was "interesting": compressed in one direction by the looks of it- I stopped the print sharpish as I was printing on banner paper. Richard. posted: 26 Jun 2011 18:54 from: richard_t Interesting, or not: printing un-calibrated on A3 is fine. Printing un-calibrated on custom paper size, produces the same kind of output as the above, 6" in the X direction comes out at around 4". Last edited on 26 Jun 2011 18:56 by richard_t posted: 26 Jun 2011 19:19 from: Martin Wynne Hi Richard, There is no change to the data format.

... topic: 615 Printing grid lines posted: 4 Nov 2008 13:34 from: Gordon S I have a large plan laid out on a 12" grid. I would like to show the 12" grid lines on prints of the plan and have the option print> printed grid options>printed grid on selected, but apart from the normal print frame, I'm not aware that the 12" grid lines are showing... Apologies, now having looked closely under really good light, there are very faint grid lines that I hadn't noticed before. If they are the 12" grid lines, can the line thickness be increased to make them more visible? I see there is an option for colours, but then I would have to print in colour... posted: 4 Nov 2008 13:44 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: If they are the 12" grid lines, can the line thickness be increased to make them more visible?

When I try to print Templot templates, the first one prints, then the printer stops and I can't clear the queue without rebooting the laptop. Hi Tony, Do you mean it stops after the first template, or the first page? To complete the print process you must click either the print all remaining pages button or the omit all remaining pages button. Clicking the print page button simply tells Templot which pages you want, it doesn't control the print process. ...
... topic: 395 Printing strategies Posted: 3 Apr 2008 19:32 PM Reply with quote Reply blank 1st Message Richard_Benn spacer.gif I have a layout plan based on 5 long narrow boards that are set an an angle to each other so that they form five sides of an octagon. I have the baseboards drawn as background shapes. Each board should print out on 4 A4 sheets of paper but Templot wants to print out 32 pages many of which would be mostly blank and would be a pain to paste together. I thought about grouping all the templates together and rotating them in order to align each board in turn with the paper but it doesn't seem possible to include the background shapes with the grouped items so I would lose the board alignment. I have also looked for a way to move the location of the printed pages around the pad but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to accomplish this? On a related note, even though I have ticked the option to include background ...
... topic: 2908 Possible printing problem- Grid on Templates? posted: 7 Aug 2016 11:34 from: Richard_Jones Hi Martin, I don't know if this is me, or actually a problem! I've been trying to print out templates with the trackpad grid turned on (set at 6" squares, but that's irrelevant) with a view to cutting timber for the baseboards (at last!) I've checked the box "grid in front of shapes" and made sure the grid is turned on, but after a couple of attempts, still can't get the grid to show on the print out- is there anything else I should be doing? It's the Singleton box and shapes files I shared some time ago. Any suggestions? many thanks and best wishes Richard posted: 7 Aug 2016 12:18 from: Martin Wynne Hi Richard, Make sure you have output> output grid options> output grid on menu option set. Are you printing in colour or black& white? At what print quality? Is one of your colour ink ...
... topic: 780 The next steps once I have the laser cut timber sleepers posted: 6 Apr 2009 12:07 from: Paul Hamilton Well the track plan is all but done and dusted now thanks to Raymond Walley. The quotes for the laser cut timber sleepers are imminent. I have successfully managed to download the 0.91c PUG tonight and installed it in my virtual windows environment Parallels on my Mac. I was then able to properly view the completed track plan and print it to a pdf file at A3 size. This has led me to some additional questions that hopefully the learned folk of this forum can assist with. 1) I noticed that in templot it appears that A3 is the largest paper size you can print to. Is this a function of the particular pdf writer I have or the program itself? I am imagining it is a function of the pdf for free writer I had downloaded into my virtul windows environment. Any suggestions on where I can get A2 print sizing would be much appreciated. (Saves all the sticky tape you ...
... topic: 3006 Nudging Print pages when printing control templates posted: 9 Apr 2017 16:21 from: vistisen I don't know if it is possible but I would like to be able to move pages edges around when printing control templates. Look at this example 3184_091119_450000000.png This point could obviously be fitted on two pages. It would be nice to be able to reposition page boundaries when printing control templates posted: 9 Apr 2017 16:25 from: vistisen OK I discovered that if I move the point in the track plan so that it is no longer attached to the surrounding track then the preview fits two pages. But it is IMHO a bit of a kludge. As the adjoining track is no longer in the correct position and that makes matching sleepers at the end of points difficult Last edited on 9 Apr 2017 16:28 by vistisen posted: 9 Apr 2017 19:10 from: Martin Wynne Hi, No need to move the template.
