Click the control> save all templates... menu item. 2. Find the file in the list which you want to delete, and click it with the right mouse button. On the menu which appears, click the Delete menu item. 3. Then click the Cancel button instead of saving a new file. If you delete a file by mistake you can find it in your Windows Recycle Bin, and restore it. regards, Martin. posted: 5 Jul 2007 16:49 from: SimonH Hi Martin Between asking the question and getting your answer, my wife and I went for a counter meal with some friends.

... topic: 2455 P4 18.83 test track build for Tor Giffard posted: 9 May 2014 16:18 from: Dave M undefined Aft'noon all, My chosen route re the Templot track plan for Tor Giffard was to create the basic track plan for the layout myself and then commission Stephen Freeman at Borgrail to translate my efforts into a 'ready to print' and build trackplan. This approach would hopefully avoid my needing to spend considerable time learning about the niceties of Templot, instead I could get on with layout construction etc before moving on to track building. I am now at the stage where I need to practice track building (having no experience in this area to date) ready for a start on the real trackwork for TG. As a member of two Scalefour Society area groups I recently took along a suitable baseframe and Templot print section in the hope of canvassing opinion for a test track build 2297_091103_500000000.jpg The members of the S4 area group felt that a challenging test track build was the way to go and I therefore chose the above section. This won't ...

... Command- Left Arrow (Home)= Takes you to the beginning of the document or top of the window. Control- Left or Right Arrow= either end of the line. This is not affected by where the "Enter" key is used. So if you type a long single line and reduce the window size causing it to change to three lines it will still only go to the ends of one of those lines. However in Microsoft "Word" this is done by using Control with Page up or Down instead. Function- Page Up or Page Down= leaves the cursor and moves through the window in display size chunks.

... position and if necessary move the whole plan later using the shift group functions. Please ignore this: Every template has its own datum on the Y-axis, shown as a green dot marking the gauge face of the main-side stock rail at CTRL-0. If you set 0,0 as its location, that is where it is positioned on the grid, as in your screenshot. You can set a template's green-dot datum wherever you want on the Y-axis, independently for each template. Instead do this: 1. set the notch to the required location and angle on the grid. Click the geometry> notch> set notch position and angle... menu item. 2. put the peg on the control template at the required peg position within it, usually CTRL-0. 3. click the geometry> notch> shift onto notch menu item.

... roll rails to match functions. That's intended for more experienced users and best left until your track plan is finalised, in the same way as other functions such as timber shoving. More information about rolling rails is here: http://templot.com/martweb/pug_info_2.htm Scroll down to new roll rails functions. c) Each end of the ruler is moved independently. The ruler then stretches between them. It is primarily intended for measuring purposes -- if you want an object of fixed length which you can move around, instead of the ruler use a dummy plain track centre-line-only template. ALT+ LEFT-CLICK sets one end of the ruler. ALT+ RIGHT-CLICK sets the other end. You can zoom in on each end to do this, and CTRL+ FULL-STOP (period) changes the mouse pointer to cross-hairs for precision. For a precision read-out of the mouse position, click the tools> jotter X-Y read-out menu item. Alternatively you can move each end ...

... /mute control at the top right of the player window, which your normal Windows volume controls will also over-ride. Comments welcome. You may feel that you would rather provide your own music, thanks all the same. But of course the main thing is to add some voice commentary, once I have got the audio quality, file size and volume levels sorted out. This is all new to me. regards, Martin. Martin, When adding your voice-over, see if your software will accept mono instead of stereo. That will half your sound file size. Also, I don't know if it is possible with your software to adjust the sound sample rate and bit rate. You might find that if you can drop to 24K sample rate with 8 bit sample size, this will give reasonable speech quality with further large reductions in audio file size. I think I prefer my own choice of background music- but it's nowhere near as bad as the Home of 0 Gauge web site of not so fond memory. Jim. ...

... vees, which are therefore located at the fine point (FP) as shown. Sharp-nose vees are not prototypical, so his 5.25 offset dimension to the A timber is arbitrary for best appearance. I normally recommend sharp-nose vees for 00-BF, DOGA Intermediate and H0 because otherwise with a blunt nose the gap in front of the nose will be too wide for many wheels, which will drop in the gap with a bump. Phil, I'm not clear why you set 0.01" for the sharp nose instead of plain zero -- Templot will accept a zero for this dimension. Phil, a layout such as this cries out for 00-SF instead of 00-BF. The 1.0mm 00-SF flangeways will then allow you to use proper blunt-nose vees for all wheels, and you can then set the proper GWR dimensions for the crossings. Blunt-nose vees look so much more prototypical than sharp ones. Some more notes on this subject: topic 854 regards, Martin. posted: 31 Mar 2012 13 ...

My very first need is to create a template in order to build a specific turnout. All my turnout are from SHINOHARA. When I print my turnout template the gap between sleppers is of 5 mm instead of 4mm in a SHINOHARA HO track. How can I obtain these 4mm.Many thanks.

How can I obtain these 4mm. Many thanks. Hi Gustavius, Welcome to Templot Club. Creating templates to match existing commercial trackwork can be hard work. Templot is based on prototype pointwork, and most commercial pointwork is not. You can customize the templates to match your existing timber spacings, see: http://templot.com/companion/ ...
