... the mouse, overlapped, etc. However if included on the trackpad they appear as bitmaps rather than vector graphics, so causing zooming and panning to be much slower and less responsive. If included on the template prints they require a modern system with plenty of memory and good graphics. Sketchboard data is likewise saved and reloaded from separate files, in this case .sk9 files. 4. If you have a CAD program you can create your baseboard framing, room outlines, etc., in that program. Save it as a DXF file and then import it into the background shapes on Templot. 5. Likewise you could create your baseboard framing, room outlines, etc., in a graphics drawing program. Save it as a PNG image file and then use it in Templot as a picture shape behind your track plan. This is similar in effect to using the sketchboard. I've included the latest version of my proposed EM model of Yeovil Pen Mill which I'm still working on but has come on quite a way in the last few months. Looking ...

... button and read the notes. The very large magnification involved means that you need a well-specified computer system, a modern version of Windows, a compatible printer, and plenty of ink. It's not for the faint-hearted. If you are printing the plan for evaluation rather than as construction templates, you may find it easier to print the output at a reduced scale. This will also stress the system much less in printing the picture shapes. Click the output> enlarge/reduce size for print, PDF, DXF> menu options. For evaluation you may instead like to try using the sketchboard with the trackplan in detail mode. You can zoom in and see all the output, without using any ink. And quickly see the effect of any changes. regards, Martin. posted: 1 Apr 2014 22:05 from: Hayfield Martin Thanks, yes I was thinking of printing in 1/4 size or less Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... out a Track Plan posted: 22 Jan 2014 17:33 from: Paul Scott Now that I have completed my track plan for a large layout some 14.5 x 4.5 metres in size I would like to get it printed out full size on rolls of paper using a local printer. I took the whole computer down to the printer and showed him the program and plan to print. He decided to make a PDF so he could export it to his large format Ink Jet Printer using the OUTPUT- EXPORT A FILE (PDF DXF etc.)- Export a File box and Create PDF He followed the instructions but was unable to get Templot to produce a PDF it said it was doing it and put the PDF Ikon on the desktop as requested but when we opened the file it was a blank page. Could anyone give us some guidance on what we are doing wrong or if we are going about it in the right way. posted: 22 Jan 2014 18:04 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I seem to remember there was a limit ...
... . The printer calibration function in Templot is available only for printed output. It is not available when creating the native PDF file output because there is no way of knowing which printer it might get printed on. There are two ways round this: 1. Use a free virtual printer PDF generator instead, such as Win2PDF. This appears to Templot as a normal printer, and can therefore be calibrated like any other printer. or 2. Change the output scaling at output> enlarge/ reduce size for print, PDF, DXF> set any%... menu item before creating the PDF file (unlike the printer calibration, this will affect the X and Y directions equally, it is not possible to set separate factors for each). The scaling needed to convert 208mm to 210mm would be 100.96%. Having said all this I strongly ask that you don't create PDF files with built-in corrections for a specific printer. It is very likely that the file will at some stage get printed by someone else on a different printer, ...

Open the image in any photo or graphics editor program, or in Windows Paint for preference. 3. Mark the rail breaks by drawing short white lines across the rails. 4.

... topic: 2282 Templot fails to detect printer driver posted: 10 Aug 2013 01:23 from: John Palmer This is potentially quite a show stopper, though I can work round it by exporting a dxf file which I can print. Still, I'd like to be able to print from within Templot so I can get the benefit of its calibration facility. 2129_092005_170000000.png Templot is here running on Windows 7 Pro (64 bit O/S) with SP1 installed. I've tried to eliminate possible sources of interference by re-booting and invoking Templot as the only running application, and with as few background processes as I can manage. Templot version is 2.07.a Other applications are printing perfectly satisfactorily to my Samsung CLP-320 laser via the LAN connection to the computer to which it is attached. I even tried re-adding it as a new printer, as per the dialog's recommendation. That resulted in a report from the machine on which I am running Templot that the printer had been added with its related driver, but Templot still couldn't see it ...
... inner road is 2/5ths the length of the middle road. It is usually better to have equal length roads, unless you intend to run specific trains from specific roads. On a straight fiddle yard you can easily do this by having all the turnouts on road 1 at the entrance end and be having all the turnouts on the last road at the exit end. Another way of doing it is to have the turnouts so that the entrance to each yard is through the same number of turnouts: dxf_re_import.png (Richard's attached DXF file re-imported into Templot. Added by Martin.) For your curved yard it's not so easy but a start can be made by putting all the turnouts in what is currently the longest road.

... that I needed to hand build the majority of the track I purchased a templot license. Fantastic software I wouldn't have been able to do the layout justice without it. Anyway I've posted a folder in files section on the yahoo group with a couple of pictures and the box file if anyone wishes to view. Please do, I'm no genius with the program yet but think I've done a satisfactory job with my design. The curves are probably the thing I find the most difficult to judge considering I was working to an Xtrkcad DXF template, which due to the nature of the diamond crossings I've had to modify the track plan away from the xtrkcad backdrop (which incidently is the xtrkcad image in the files folder). Any tips or alterations I'd love to hear your views. nb the open point at the top of the plan is like that intentionally as it will lead to a lower level fiddle yard.

... Transition point markers posted: 2 Jul 2012 22:08 from: dave turner I've just noticed that on my installation of Templot 2 (latest posted version) the transition point markers on transition curves are missing. It's probable that I've accidentally altered a setting somewhere but I've not been able to discover where. Any thoughts? regards Dave posted: 2 Jul 2012 22:16 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, Missing where? On the trackpad? On the sketchboard? In image files? On the printed templates? On the DXF exports? There are several options for turning the transition markers off. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Jul 2012 22:22 from: dave turner Hi Martin On the trackpad itself. The marks don't appear as I create a new transition curve. Since they don't appear on previously created curves I either I assume I've altered something inadvertently.

173. Transition markers
... ! Hi Howard, Well, you are certainly not shy of using transitions! That's going to be an impressive piece of pointwork. First of all, the transition markers which are out in fresh air can be removed and/or tidied up using the geometry> transition curve> normalize transition function (first delete to the current/control template). Read the help notes first, because it is not undo-able and may affect subsequent adjustments. To remove the transition markers entirely from the pad, the printed output, DXF exports, and everywhere else, untick the generator> generator settings> radial end marks menu option, and then click the generator> rebuild all background menu item. Then if you wish to restore the transition markers to the current/control template (and subsequently stored background templates), so that you can continue working with transition curves, tick the radial end marks option again. Alternatively, you can remove the transition markers from only the background templates on the pad, without affecting them elsewhere, by going to pad> ...
... topic: 1838 An Anomaly with Timber Spacing Across Vee Rail Joint. posted: 19 Feb 2012 17:40 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, I have an anomaly with timber spacing on a custom template. If I Shove Timbers, and use the dimensions (in inches) shown in the dialog box, when I come to measure the spacing on the workpad, I find the measurements do not agree with the dialog box.( This was actually found when I loaded the particular turnout DXF file into a cad program and found the error, then went back to Templot to verify). I have put 3 images below which, together, show the anomaly, and also attached the appropriate box file. Circled in Magenta on each image is the dimensions at each stage which should highlight the dimensional error The problem seems to be only around the Vee rail joint, as all other timber spacings are correct. Now the prototype dimensions I wanted scaled, are as follows: Timber spacing from A timber X3-A to X4-B= 30ins ...
... setting should be fine for a layout size up to a few hundred feet long, but it's worth trying these changes anyway.) Try changing the spooler settings to use direct to printer instead of via the printer spooler. Try splitting the .bmp file into two or more sections, and creating side-by-side picture shapes to contain them. If none of the above work, a different approach would be to vectorise your .bmp file using the free version of WinTopo( http://www.wintopo.com) and import the resulting DXF file into the background shapes instead of using a picture shape. If you would like to send the .bmp file to me at martin@templot.com I will see how it prints on my inkjet and virtual printers (sorry I don't have a laser printer to try). Generally for accurate construction templates it is better to use an inkjet. Laser printers heat the paper, which can cause some shrinkage and mismatch between the pages. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Nov 2007 02:29 from: Edward Martin thanks. ...
... a copy of the .bgs file layout, to see if I got it right? </ cheeky> Hi Jane, Sorry, no. I'd like to help, but the source code for Templot is not for publication. You are of course free to edit your BGS files externally to Templot in any way you choose. If you do that, please keep in mind the terms of the Templot licence and the fact that the BGS file format is my intellectual property. Alternatively, don't forget that you can import and export DXF files to/from the background shapes. You may find it easier to define, edit or sort the fixing-post entities in a CAD program. regards, Martin.
