... on a scan" (a longer video showing a classic H0 layout). Edit 2012 for Templot2: Templot now supports PNG and JPG files in addition to BMP files for picture shapes, and it is no longer necessary to save them first in the shapes folder. You can save them anywhere on your computer. The above videos and notes have not yet been updated to reflect these changes. 2. Same as above, but using the PDF image from XTrkCad as the design guide. Display it using the Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader or Nitro Reader, and then do a screen capture as a Windows bitmap. On a PC that simply means pressing the Print Screen key to put it on the clipboard, but I don't know if you have such a key on the Mac. This approach means that any design constraints introduced by using commercial track in XTrkCad are going to influence your design, whereas working over the original CJF design gives you the full flexibility of Templot adjustments and curving. But you may be unwilling to discard your friend's design work. ...
... the printer's printable area. You should be able to measure the printable area on the prints you have. Then make sure to select page scaling= none when printing. Alternatively, you can make adjustments in Templot to use less than the full deskPDF page -- see the print> trim margins> set custom trim margins... menu item and also read the notes at print> trim margins>? trim margins help menu item. Whatever you do with PDFs, make sure you check view them in Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader before sending them for expensive printing. In the next Pug version of Templot you will be able to create PDF files directly, and precisely set the page size to anything you wish. regards, Martin. posted: 21 Dec 2010 10:45 from: BruceNordstrand Well thats a bugger, I suspected as much, now I can't yell at them Thanks for the info Martin, will do some measuring and adjust the trim margins manually.

... is a bug in pdf995. It is perfectly capable of creating colour PDFs, but when asked it says no. Templot takes it at its word. Most other software doesn't bother asking first. Why not try one of the other PDF generators? They all print colour fine. Win2PDF is generally regarded as the best for our purposes. The free version doesn't expire, but prints an extra nag page on each run: http://www.win2pdf.com Remember to set page scaling to "none" when printing in Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader. In the next Templot version, PDF output will be available natively without installing a virtual printer generator. (Also vector EMF and the common raster image formats). regards, Martin. posted: 10 Aug 2010 17:42 from: Des Norman Hi again Martin, Success! just downloaded Win2PDF and I now have colour printing.

... , Y dimensions are measured positive downwards from the top. In the blue mode, Y dimensions are measured positive upwards from the bottom, as on the workpad. regards, Martin. posted: 3 Nov 2010 16:57 from: Martin Wynne I've taken a break from the complexities of the sketchboard to finalise the dialogs for the new export functions: 2_031116_410000000.png 2_031116_410000001.png The page size for PDF export can be set to match your printer paper size, in which case the PDF file contains multiple pages for printing via Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader. Or it can be set to the full size of your track plan for printing as a single large page at a digital copyshop, on a wide-format roll printer. This direct PDF export is intended for track construction templates as an alternative to printing them directly from Templot. There is also a PDF output function on the sketchboard. This is primarily intended for display purposes rather than construction templates. The image file exports can be used to display track plans on web sites and forums such as Templot Club, ...
... Hi Donald, Templot doesn't have any functions to print the grid in reverse. Some printers include mirror or flip functions to reverse an entire page, for use in connection with OHP transparencies. If your printer doesn't do that, you might try the Snagit program: http://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.asp This includes a virtual printer similar to the well-known PDF generators. It includes Mirror and Flip functions, after which the image can be saved in a wide range of formats including PDF for printing via Adobe or Foxit Reader: 2_081139_380000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 8 Mar 2010 17:11 from: Donald MacLean Thank you, gentlemen, for your rapid responses. I drilled down into the printer layout options on my new printer and, lo and behold, I found a 'print mirror' capability! Never thought that I might find a solution EXTERNAL to the software! So I am getting there. Donald posted: 9 Mar 2010 11:17 from: David Cooper Donald Have you considered using transparent OHP paper and glueing or double ...
... apsa09-07.html This is especially important for anyone with their own web site, because this method is being used to deliver the Gumblar virus -- which steals your FTP password and then accesses your web site and infects your web pages with malicious code. It would be a good idea to change your FTP password now if you haven't changed it recently. So until Adobe Reader is updated, be very wary of unexpected PDF email attachments or PDF links in Google or on web pages. An excellent alternative to Adobe Reader is the Foxit Reader, free from: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ although for all we know that has its own flaws, of course. regards, Martin. posted: 21 Jan 2010 11:07 from: richard_t I've just received an update to Adobe reader this morning. (version 9.3.0). I guess this might have fixed this issue, although it's not explicitly stated in the release notes. posted: 21 Jan 2010 12:03 from: Martin Wynne richard_t wrote: I've just received an update ...
... it appears that A3 is the largest paper size you can print to. Is this a function of the particular pdf writer I have or the program itself? Hi Paul, There is no size restriction in Templot itself. The maximum size is determined by the printer driver. In Windows XP you can create larger paper sizes, which a compatible printer driver should then adopt. See: topic 224- message 1096 There may be a restriction depending on which PDF software the print shop uses to print your track plan. Using the Foxit PDF reader there appears to be no restriction -- you can have a roll-paper print 50ft long if you want one. Using Adobe Reader, printing seems to be limited to around 13ft/ 4 metres maximum length per page. In the next Pug but one, Templot will include direct printing to PDF up to any size you like without the hassle of setting paper sizes on a printer driver. If you are having trouble, send me your .box file and I will create a large format PDF file for you ...
... fully functional with no time limit, if you don't mind a logo overprint on each page: http://www.fineprint.com/products/pdffactory/ Likewise Win2PDF, which prints additional pages in the free trial mode: http://www.win2pdf.com/products/win2pdf.htm I tested several of these PDF generators a few years ago and came to the conclusion that Win2PDF produced the best match to Templot's native print output. But that was then -- no doubt they have all upgraded since then, and also we now have the excellent Foxit Reader as an alternative to Adobe for printing PDF files. The most important point is to remember to set page scaling to "None" when printing templates from PDF. regards, Martin.

... now to find out what's happening. Sigh. Please can you send me (or attach on the forum) your .box file so that I can check what's happening in pdf995. Also I can create your PDF file for you. p.s Do sheet alignment marks get printed automatically, or do I need to select them please? The red trim margins are printed as part of the page. If you are not seeing them in the PDF file, something has gone very wrong. Have you tried viewing the PDF file in the Foxit Reader (free) instead of Adobe Reader? regards, Martin. posted: 5 Nov 2008 19:56 from: polybear Hi Martin/All, Here's an update: With a lot of help from Martin part of the problem has been solved- I upgraded to Templot 091c and now use Win2PDF (instead of PDF995) to create the PDF Files; the PDF File created now shows the entire trackplan, with nothing missing. The other problem was that both I and Martin found that PDF995 was telling Templot that it's ...
... in printing multiple pages? And is anyone using an Epson DX4850 with Templot? Any problems? Phil, if you attach your .box file here, other Vista users can have a go at printing it and report any problems. A possible workaround is to install a virtual printer PDF generator such as pdf995 (free) or Win2PDF and print your template pages to that as PDF files. Set the graphics dpi for the PDF as close as possible to your printer dpi, e.g. 600dpi. When printing them using Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader, make sure the page scaling is set to "none". regards, Martin. posted: 31 Aug 2008 21:24 from: pjhill Martin, Using pdf995 I can print (although with some odd effects- can't get colour for example) so I can move on. I will try another printer this week and see if it is something peculiar to my setup. Thanks for the help, I will now get on with my trackwork. Phil posted: 1 Sep 2008 03:48 from: Jim ...
... Printer margins' box and it made no difference. I think something is overriding that setting as after printing I noticed it was ticked again. If I unticked that box, then I would expect the number of pages under the track diagram to change from 1 to however many pages it would take to print the whole plan. To my mind it should say page 1 of 16 or something similar. Either way, it still prints one page with the whole plan reduced to A4 size even with that box unticked. I'm using Foxit reader to print the pdf and it may well be their software is playing up. The reason I say that is it would only let me choose my Samsung printer and every time I chose the Canon it defaulted back to the Samsung once I pressed print. The only way to overcome that was to make the Canon the default printer and then it worked OK. From what you are saying, I need not have used Sketchboard at all? Will the quality of the pdf from Templot be just as 'clean' or will ...
