... However, when entering a new shape, it is entered below the one currently highlighted in the list. So for example if you already have posts numbers 53 and 55 in the list, you can enter post number 54 between them by first selecting number 53 in the list. An alphanumerical sort function wouldn't be too difficult to implement. Could you please post a note in the "I wish it would..." forum so that I don't overlook it? Thanks. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Sep 2007 02:02 from: Jane Hi, Martin I figured out a way to generate a file containing the shapes, given the post numbers and their coordinates. Similarly I figured out how to sort an existing file. <cheeky> Any chance of getting a copy of the .bgs file layout, to see if I got it right? </ cheeky> Best wishes. posted: 10 Sep 2007 03:58 from: Martin Wynne Jane wrote: <cheeky> Any chance of getting a copy of the .bgs file layout ...

123. HON3 Template
... topic: 2343 HON3 Template posted: 13 Nov 2013 15:06 from: CBryars2 Hi Newbie, please forgive if answered already, did search but did not see an answer. Is there a HOn3- 36" template? Are American units of measure available? Thanks Cameron posted: 14 Nov 2013 02:36 from: Martin Wynne CBryars2 wrote: Is there a HOn3- 36" template? Hi Cameron, Welcome to Templot Club. Templot can produce templates to any gauge or scale that you wish to set up. There isn't a library of existing templates. There are some sample files available for downloading containing USA-style templates for standard gauge and narrow-gauge tracks here: topic 1335 topic 28 You could use those as a starting point in creating your own settings. Are American units of measure available? By default Templot uses mm (millimetres) for model dimensions and inches for prototype dimensions. When you are asked for mm dimensions you can enter inches instead by prefixing the dimension with a letter i. For example to enter a ...
124. Lost shapes file
... one bitmap, one rectangle and one line, and got the following: 105_301735_260000000.png That description isn't anything I would enter, and the timestamp is about 15 minutes earlier than the file timestamp. Look at the coordinates- that line is going nowhere! Any ideas what might have happened? I can't think of anything I was doing differently, and the file was saved by overwriting the previous file (I usually do this for shape files). Fortunately this particular shape file won't be difficult to recreate! posted: 31 Jan 2010 02:42 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, Thanks for the report. A "pen-line" background shape is created when using the draw function with the spacing-ring tool. If you haven't moved the spacing-ring you will get a pen-line from 0 to 0. So you can create exactly that shapes file instead of the one you thought you had, by doing this: 1. If the Background Shapes dialog is open you can delete all by pressing A on the keyboard, followed by ...

Hi Dave, I'm not too clear what you mean by "back" to 16.5mm? The track gauge for 00-SF is 16.2mm. I'm not convinced that the majority of users would connect it to 16.5mm track, and even then only for a few of the templates. A lot of users will be constructing 16.2mm plain track, if not for the entire layout then ...
... 26 boxes! AND on our local news some months ago when a former filing station on the A1 was listed! Quite a popular chap. Do you have a CAD programme that does basic 3D? (the freebie ProgeCAD will do) You can export your Templot as a 3D DXF and view it from all angles- very helpful when comparing to photos. It saves a lot of this tweaking stuff (which can be a bit stressful...)! Cheers, Howard.

Regards Rob Attachment: attach_2624_3185_Tandem_rail_issue .box 273 posted: 16 Jan 2018 02:48 from: Martin Wynne Hi Rob, The reason for the problem is that you started with a daft unusual size of turnout, a B-12. Were you simply stress-testing the tandem function, or were you intending to use such a turnout in your track plan? I didn't think to test for such an unusual size in the code, although I did say on the web page "The starting turnout can be any reasonable size". A B-12 is not reasonable or prototypical. Having ...
128. Error in BeginDoc
... the code for this error is some unusual/invalid characters in the file name or path. I don't have access to the source code for the PDF engine, so I can't see why re-using a file name would cause any problem in the drawing routines. The only possibility is that the PDF virtual printer can't find or create the file. You didn't by any chance have the old file open in a PDF reader while trying to overwrite it? cheers, Martin. posted: posted: 24 Dec 2017 22:02 from: Rob Manchester Martin, I just tried all variations I could think of when exporting a PDF and I can't get the error that Keith gets.

The exhibitor I saw at the exhibition also was not using the templot sleeper spacing but was allowing a slightly bigger gap between sleepers, is this common practise? The default sleeper spacing in Templot is just that a default spacing. The correct spacing depends on prototype and date. This however is easy to achieve in Templot.

... for the sections that will be ballasted over the sleepers with lots of weeds but some needs to have chairs. Can you get these in 7mm scale for code 100 rail? Rob posted: 8 Feb 2018 00:22 from: Andrew Barrowman Hi Rob, I believe it was not unusual to use flat-bottom rail spiked to the sleepers for standard gauge light railways in the UK. Code 100 FB might be about right. Google Colonel Stephens Railways Photographs for examples. Cheers, Andy posted: 8 Feb 2018 01:02 from: Rob Manchester Hi Andy, Yes, just had a look through 'Britains Light Railways' a nice survey of many light rail lines in the UK and you are quite correct that many have FB rail either spiked to the timbers or held there by chair-type screws in biggish square washers that press down either side of the rail foot. The description of 'light rail' is more clearly defined these days but 100 or more years ago was rather vague I suspect. Some of the lines in the above book have ...
... 2020 21:45 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Just having a watch of the live screen. The video is fine. Your voice is very low through the speakers- if I turn the voulme knob well up then you are partially drowned out. It sounds like you are using a mobile on top of a mountain on a windy day. Where is your microphone located? Time to put my hot and spicy pizza in the oven. Will try and check back later. Rob posted: 26 Sep 2020 22:02 from: Gordon S You're not alone Martin....

... does. The layout receded into the distance while I learnt about the various phases of NSWGR plate laying. Often people seem to expect to understand both the program and the the complications of track work in an unrealistic time frame. "I've just bought Templot, next week I'll finish the layout". I think set track hs a bit to do with this... And they quit too fast as well. Possibly the unrealistic deadline. Don't take it personally Martin.

They are there in case one hard drive fails. For data security, you need a physically separate setup. Oh, you might like to consider a dual-monitor setup.

When this scroll ring is set to 'zoom' with Templot set to 'scroll' it works backwards! As an aside, when set to 'zoom', it does just that in Templot but scrolls ...
