... twice and Templot froze. I got a message saying List index out of bounds (- 1) and my track has disappeared even if I click the ok button it still stays open. The only way to close it is to close Templot. I wish I could display a picture of it so you could see what I mean. Hi Len, Thanks for the report. "List index out of bounds (- 1 )" while shoving timbers is a long-standing bug which I have been trying to nail for 10 years. There are a few topics here which refer to it. Fortunately it occurs very rarely. Do you think you can remember exactly what you were doing at the time and the sequence of clicks you made? Because simply following your description I have been unable to reproduce it. How many timbers had previously been shoved? Had you added or removed any bonus timbers? Had you omitted or restored any timbers? Did you start from a mint turnout or by copying one from the background? By the way, is ...

... topic: 1195 Printing problem posted: 10 Aug 2010 12:57 from: Des Norman Hi all, Have run through tutorial, read notes on printing, created and saved printer config. file- but can't get printing to work properly. Have 1 turnout on the pad after a fresh start, covering 2 A4 sheets. When I select print/preview current pages, shows a1, a2. Click 'all remaining pages' only results in 1st page being printed then printer locks up still showing 2nd page outstanding. Selected saved config file when asked. Windows start/printers, double-click on printer shows document status as printing. Highlighting and selecting restart ineffective. If I start afresh and omit 1st page, click print all remaining pages, this one page still won't print. Feel as though I've hit a brick wall already. Any suggestions please?

... motors (or only one if you make a suitable rocking crank device to drive both K-crossing switches from a single motor). Switch-diamonds are mandatory if the crossing angle is flatter than 1:8* and Templot automatically swaps to a switch-diamond at these angles, unless you change the settings. *or less in curved track. For some more information about all this, click: topic about switch-diamonds. Ask again if you need more. regards, Martin. posted: 23 Jan 2013 10:03 from: CoBo Thank you both- that's a lot clearer now. As I'm hoping to use bullhead rail it was the first of Martin's diagrams that grabbed my attention and, whilst I understand the need for two motors working together but in opposite directions, I fail to see how this can work if both sets of point blades are fixed to a common shared central timber as shown on the diagram- the FB picture is understandable in this respect, ie two timbers, two motors. There's obviously a simple explanation ...

... is just the peg ok. But why do I see it on some templates and not on others. I haven't seen it on other box files I have downloaded. Is there likely to be something wrong with the "connectedness" of my plan? Templot doesn't seem to care about having a connected graph for want of a better term. The square one....

... topic: 1918 Track Construction using C& L Components posted: 10 Apr 2012 19:11 from: David Yates I am about to start track construction for my permanent, 7mm Scale7 layout, Staircliffe Exchange Sidings, using C& L components. In order to avoid using multiple droppers for connecting track sections together, standard track lengths being 210mm( i.e. a scale 30ft) I've been contemplating using etched brass fish-plates soldered between sections of track rather than wire connections below the baseboard. I'm also contemplating using strategically positioned brass chairs to solder the feed droppers to, to get the power to the track. My question is, has anyone out there tried this method and if so, have you found any pitfalls with this method? Regards, Dave posted: 10 Apr 2012 19:22 from: Raymond I'd have thought that they woould work exactly the same of droppers.

... topic: 2984 Windows 10 Possible Problem posted: 20 Feb 2017 15:09 from: PJW Martin After switching to Windows 10, I reloaded Templot on 08 February. I put the downloaded file through a virus check before installing, with no problems. Everything went well until last Friday 17 October. I exported to several scaled pdf files successfully. But suddendly, when exporting to a scaled pdf plan, my Kaspersky Internet Security came up with the following message: PDM.Trojun.Win32.Generic Location: c:\templot_dev/templot2.exe When I disinfected, Kaspersky had removed templot2.exe I downloaded the templot files again from your website, rescanned for viruses. All clear. Reinstalled. Ran Malware Bytes before running Templot. All clear. I ran Templot. As before, ok with standard work on templates, background shapes etc. Again, there was no problem initially with exporting to scaled pdfs, but again an error occurred. The result of disinfecting was to rempove templot2.exe. Any ideas what could be wrong? Many thanks, Patrick posted: 22 Feb 2017 15:30 ...

... which can apply to an individual printed page. All settings are based on individual templates, or apply to all the pages. However, as Jim says it seems to be more than one page, and on the second page there is just a tiny fragment of rail showing at the top left. The settings to remove rails from a template are at do> omit rails and joint marks menu item. Anything there for these templates? Are the rails showing on the screen? regards, Martin. posted: 17 Jun 2011 10:33 from: Gordon S OK, a few things to help. The main file and some screen shots showing the various results.

I can't give you the scale dimensions, but dependent on how your tracks are arranged the track spacings for the space between the none gauge faces are as follows. Fast down 6 ft Fast 10 ft Slow down 6 ft Slow up. Slow down 10 ft Fast Down 6ft Fast up 10 ft Slow down. Add on the track gauge plus two rail head widths to get the centre distance.

I am fine overlaying one point on to another and using the shove timbers to rearrange the sleepers. I am now left with some rails too long as they go through the common crossings etc, I see that I can remove the rails via Ctrl+ O, but I just want to shorten them.
