... the only software still using it. I hoped originally that using a ready-made drawing engine would save me a lot of time, but it hasn't worked out that way. One day I will set to and rewrite it from scratch myself, but it's no small programming task. Note that these remarks apply only to the sketchboard. Everything else in Templot can be blamed on me. regards, Martin. posted: 31 Oct 2014 15:12 from: Phil O Hi Martin The only thing running on my PC was Firefox, apart from the usual stuff like AVG and whatever windoz decides I need. My OS is Win 7Pro 64bit with 8gig of ram. 2.8 gig Intel core processor Whilst I am on is there anyway of producing Arc's and parts of Ellipsis's in Sketchboard?

... computer. It's an issue with the web server hosting this forum, and it's connection to the MySQL database server which provides the data store for all of this forum. Martin: If this is the first time this has been experienced, it's probably nothing to worry about. But if it's happening on a regular basis, then it might be worth following up with your hosting provider.

Trevor. posted: 3 Jul 2014 14:32 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Tim, Many thanks for your input on this problem, it is very reassuring to know it's not my computer, and as I stated in my posting message, I did not think it was a fault with Templot. I am most grateful for your reply and now ...

... , however, I must be missing the obvious somewhere. My needs are to create ties 7"x5"x78" evenly spaced 21" for the entire length of the turnout. Hi Bill, Have you seen this topic? topic 392 Detailed there are some videos to watch for customising narrow-gauge and creating custom switches. Also a .box file download with some 3ft gauge templates for Fn3, which you could perhaps use as the basis for Sn3 -- certainly the switches: fn3_15mm_samples.png Download the file from fn3_15mm_samples.box (In Firefox, right-click and Save Link As...) If you could perhaps upload a diagram of the turnout you are trying to create, or your .box file as far as you have got, it would be easier to know what to suggest. Most US standard-gauge turnouts use straight switches with a heel spread of 6.1/4" at the heel block, but I have no knowledge of US narrow-gauge practice. (The switches in the above file have 4.1/2" heel spread. ...

... work properly. This is explained at: topic 1500 You can save your .box template files anywhere you like on your own computer. However, if you choose not to use the location which Templot suggests, Templot won't automatically find them in the next session. It is then up to you to remember where you put them and navigate to them in the file dialog. This is all basic Windows stuff and I have said that providing Windows primers is beyond my remit in supporting Templot. But here we go (screenshots below from Firefox): After clicking the download link, you should see this: 2_270137_550000000.png Click the Save File button. When download is complete (only a few seconds on broadband): 2_270137_550000001.png 1. click the download icon. 2. click (or double-click) on the downloaded file. You will then likely see some security warnings like this: 2_270137_550000002.png Templot is safe to run on your computer. Click the Run button. You should then see the Templot2 installer program: 2_270137_550000003.png Click the Next button and accept the Terms ...

I decided to install the update this morning and start some design work, but no luck. Just keep getting told that the current version isn't the current version. thanksRichard posted: 24 Oct 2013 04:20 from: Martin Wynne Hi Richard, Have you actually installed the updated version? Templot isn't like Windows and Firefox and some other programs which update themselves. After downloading the new file you must Run (Open) it by double-clicking on it, to install the new version of Templot. Everything is working fine here, so there is nothing more I can do. If the problem is on the server, please just wait 10 minutes and then try again. regards, Martin. posted: 24 Oct 2013 04:32 from: RJLeslie911 Hi Martin, Yep, downloaded and installed. This was actual a clean install rather ...
