... . Martin will then post a video in response to someone else about a completely different subject and I will realise that there is a much simpler way to accomplish what I have been doing. Templot doesn't hold your hand (or control your life) in the way that Microsoft products tend to but it does reward patience, which some people seem incapable of. Martin, I would rather you carry on supporting Wine functions than trying to rewrite documentation. For the record I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 Regards, Martin posted: 12 Jul 2015 07:58 from: Martin Wynne Many thanks for the helpful comments. This topic is about the Templot documentation formats, and how best to make them accessible to users, including on Wine. I have moved the messages about creating a wiki to the separate Templot Wiki topic: topic 2722 regards, Martin. posted: 15 Jul 2015 07:49 from: madscientist Martin, don't have a canary over the docs.

102. Changes in 218d
... After 20 years I have relaxed my self-imposed rule to make everything fit on a screen 1024 pixels wide. Most folks now have screens wider than that. Templot now needs at least 1120 pixels screen width. If you have a smaller screen and find part of the top toolbars missing, you will find duplicates of the missing buttons on the zoom/pan panel. Or you can change the program size using the slider at the bottom right of the screen. cheers, Martin. posted: 9 Feb 2018 20:07 from: Rob Manchester Martin Wynne wrote: 4. I have created a new top menu (we haven't had one of those for ages) called utils. I have moved there the utility functions from the tools menu -- the ruler, dummy vehicle, metric calculator, etc. In a future update I want to split the spacing-ring and dummy vehicle into separate functions. This leaves the tools menu shortened to a more sensible length, and logically concerned only with track design. Martin. Martin, Good that ...
... clicking GO connects to templot.com" And after you click the GO button it says "Templot2 is contacting templot.com......" although on broadband it is usually so fast that you may miss it. Did you mean that, or are you really seeing the exact words "Connecting to Templot.com"? If you are getting the same result on two different computers it would suggest some problem with your internet connection or service provider. Anyone else seeing this? regards, Martin. posted: 29 May 2014 19:07 from: Michael dJS I am actually seeing "Templot2 is contacting templot.com......" and that is where it stalls.

I can access the Templot site using AOL, Firefox and Internet Explorer without problem and can download from all three but result of trying to run Templot is same in each case.

104. Antivirus problem
... been updated but I had no way of confirming it. When I updated via the download from the Templot site, as you suggested, it still did a couple of scans but then confirmed that the program was safe. 214a went through with no problem at all which made the 214b situation more surprising. If I get any problems such as this in future I will try to get screen shots which may help investigation. Happy now to have my beloved Templot working as it should!

Yes I said, and four coats later( two of them rolled which gives a very classsy finish) it's done and Babette said how lovely it looked. Marital harmony maintained and I'm happy as Larry with my new found friend on wheels. I just need to screw an eight socket extension to the back, plug everything in and I'll be ready for anything.

... topic: 2516 Variation of chairs on a crossover posted: 21 Aug 2014 07:49 from: Hayfield On my recent trip to Bodmin Central I decided to try and get some close ups of some of the switch and crossing chairs. Looking at the platform resell crossover there seemed to be a mixture of different chairs (2& 3 bolt). These may have been changed during BR days, or just using what can be found now in preservation circles. 982_201348_500000000.jpg 982_201349_180000000.jpg 982_201349_580000000.jpg 982_201350_190000000.jpg posted: 21 Aug 2014 07:53 from: Hayfield Sorry I can't seem to edit between photos, nor can I stitch the photos together. Perhaps I should have taken a Panoramic photo In the top photo there is a strange bar between the rails, may be some form of locking mechanism, but why its there? The second and third photo shows the different plate under the crossing nose chair. Upper check rail has 4 2 bolt check chairs and one 4 bolt, lower check rail chairs 4 bolt chairs.

This would be doubly true if the pricing is significantly different to the other offerings.

... topic: 1192 Can't get transition to straight/from straight to work during one of track plan tutorial posted: posted: 10 Aug 2010 10:07 from: grog_polymer Ho all, I am doing the "Track Plan Tutorial" in 0.91c. Some of the shortcut keys don't seem to work as described but I expect that to be a version specific thing. Indeed shortcuts are only shortcuts if you can remember them. It does take a while looking for where things are in menus etc though. This specific issue: I had added the works siding by adding a branch track from the loop to works siding. I have tried to make a transition to straight to make the end of the works siding straight. No matter which end I put the peg the straight always ends up at the turnout. The notch is there and I suspect that is why. I have tried adding the transition and doing end for end etc but nothing makes it right. Picture attached.1920_100452_420000000.png There are a couple of other things that I am not clear on. I ...

The old arrangement is below, I figured id I swapped the crossovers I might gain space.. but I didn't.. (we are talking about the blue section NOT the pink) post-11540-0 -47354900-1313016155_thumb.jpg I know why now, the facing crossover has shunted across one points worth so while platform 1 (the top) has gained, the bottom sidings haven't changed at all... But I'm sure we can adjust the pointwork to gain a few inches which I'd like to do for a couple of reasons. 1) Currently the two carriage/parcels sidings can't quite store 4 coaches but another couple of inches they can. 2) I have the space :P The platform capacities are as follows ...

I use a mouse with a scoll wheel. For those that don't know, in windows Ctrl+ scroll will incease and decrease the zoom. This will help in seeing the markers I am taling about.
