... 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 ...
142. Printing problem
... 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? Regards, Des Windows XP SP3 Epson Stylus D88 inkjet printer- prints fine from any other software program. posted: 10 Aug 2010 13:58 from: Martin Wynne Hi Des, Welcome ...
... topic: 2041 Help please with a 3 way turnout template please posted: 10 Aug 2012 08:43 from: Hayfield Please forgive me but I can do simple functions to build turnouts and track plans, but I realy struggle with the more expert functions on Templot I am trying to create a 3 way turnout, I have watched the tutorial several times, but some how I am missing what to do. 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. Please can someone tell me what keys need pressing so I can reduce/ increase the length of a rail Thanks in advance John posted: 10 Aug 2012 10:17 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, To avoid rails running through overlaid V-crossings, you need to take the rails out into separate partial templates. You can ...
... 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 ...

... topic: 2011 Understanding the docs posted: 10 Jul 2012 20:09 from: Martin Wynne This message has just been posted on the 3rd PlanIt email group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/3rdPlanIt/message/33748 There are obvious echoes there for the Templot help docs. I've heard the same thing several times over the years -- "I can't learn by reading, I have to see it". That was one of the reasons I changed to creating the videos instead of producing more static tutorials. But that message is excellently written and perfectly clear. Far better in fact than the many garbled posted messages I see on some forums. I'm really puzzled how someone who says he can't understand the written word can write so clearly. Has it perhaps been written by someone else on his behalf? It doesn't read that way. What can I learn from this about the way forward for the updated Templot docs? regards, Martin. posted: 10 Jul 2012 20:15 from: JFS If I had to lay a ...
... topic: 3257 Slide chair to stock rail bonding posted: 17 Apr 2018 21:47 from: Rob Manchester Hi, Do people on here just use standard superglue to bond slide chairs to the stockrail? I notice a post advocating Loctite 435 adhesive for this but is this over the top? I use cheap cyano/superglue for many modelling tasks but just buy the discount shop type where you get 10 little tubes for a pound. Everytime I buy a better brand it gets used a couple of times and has gone 'off' when I next want it. Tried storing in fridge/putting clingfilm over lid etc but doesn't help with me. Don't want to go to expense of Loctite 435 if that is going to happen. Thanks for any suggestions. Rob posted: 17 Apr 2018 22:40 from: Ian Allen Rob, To be honest, I've just used Butanone to make a bond between the rail and chair and that always seems to suffice.

... topic: 3694 How to define size of second road of tandem turnout? posted: 10 Jun 2020 08:31 from: William Williamson I've got a scissors formation I'm modelling- and opposing corners have a slip and a threeway. The slip is fine, but the threeway is causing me a bit of head-scratching. I require a 1:6 turnout angle on the scissor side, but the other side can be as wide as is needed. The 'create tandem' function however always seems to insert the second road 'inside' the first route, so in this case it has created a 1:4.93 tandem: HGQvrOV.png http://i.imgur.com/HGQvrOV.png I'd be happy for this to be a 1:8 or above, but not sure quite how to ensure that. I could build it in reverse, with the 'first' road going towards the top of the plan and then generate a tandem to create the turnout that's part of the scissors- but if I were to build it in reverse, I'm not sure how I ...
... those two are a must! I always set a thin line so that would be great to be saved as a preference....and you go to such care to look after the colours when printing Cheers posted: 9 Apr 2013 20:22 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mike, Paul, As a matter of interest, why do you use black& white rather than grey shades? That uses very little more black ink and provides a much clearer template print. regards, Martin. posted: 9 Apr 2013 21:10 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I set my ancient Canon i850 to use Fast mode by default. Grey shades gives a dithered, fuzzy output whereas B&W still gives a crisper print, although the inline, low-res image may not be that clear. 105_091601_090000000.jpg Grey on the left, B&W on the right. I haven't changed the rail infill setting, but on the B&W image there is no infill (which is what I want), whereas on the grey image I would also ...

152. Saving image files
... topic: 1681 Saving image files posted: 10 Nov 2011 01:37 from: Tony W Hi Martin. Not sure if this is a bug in the TDV but I have been testing the picture output option and it works fine when the default settings are used. However, I then set the picture width to 10,000 dots and when I tried to save the file received the following error message. 2151_091641_250000000.jpg This is fair enough as this machine does not have much memory. The problem comes when you try to exit using either the OK or X button as the machine appears to hang. It is possible to exit by right clicking the mouse on the workpad and then left clicking, but there certainly appears to be a problem. I also think there may be an issue with the save file options as when you select a different file type in the file type window, it does not automatically change in the file name window (as it does in Windows) and needs to be deleted manually unless you are overwriting everything, eg changing ...
... topic: 729 Track Planning Strategy posted: 10 Feb 2009 13:56 from: JimH Hi All, I'm in the process of planning a model of Wolverhampton Low Level "laying" track over the 1919 OS map of the area. It's proving challenging and rewarding to use Templot, and it gives a real sense of achievement when you finally get a complex formation to work and align correctly- particularly as I know it mimics the prototype exactly. My question after many false starts and mistakes is really in regard to where one should start to plan from. In relation to the photograph attached- I started from the tunnel mouths and basically worked back towards where the camera was. I ended up with lots of templates that needed "joining" and as a result had to jigger about a lot with make transitions etc. some of which could not be calculated. wolves_low_tracks_to_tunnel.jpg I was wondering do others have a strategy on where to start, from the middle and work outwards, end to end etc.? Interested to hear (read!) what ...

... topic: 784 Printing the PDF tutorials posted: 10 Apr 2009 09:14 from: Chris Parsons Having returned to TEMPLOT after a break of several years, I am now having to relearn everything and as part of this process I am working my way through the Tutorials. When I come to printing out the 69 pages of the PDF track plan sequence, I find that if I ask the printer to do pages 2- 10, even pages only, it prints out pages 1- 9 odd pages only and so on. This is quite confusing when attempting to do double sided printing. I have tried it on two entirely separate computer kits, so it must be the software rather than my kit. Isn't learning TEMPLOT difficult enough!!!!! Has anybody else had this problem?? posted: 10 Apr 2009 09:31 from: Martin Wynne Chris Parsons wrote: I find that if I ask the printer to do pages 2- 10, even pages only, it prints out pages 1- 9 odd pages only and ...
... template. Next, repeat the above slip road instructions for the two switches on the other side of the slip formation. Once done, you should now have an almost completed double slip, except for the tidying up, such as checking that nothing is fouling throughout the formation, such as tips of check& wing rails. I do hope this helps. All the best, Brian Nicholls.

I think I got the hang of it now. The only part left for me to do is check the switch blade clearance. I just have to figure out how to use the ruler. But thats a small problem now that I got the basics. The first time I did this I did it quite different since I didnt know what I was doing. Ill se if I can explain how later, Im at work atm.

157. Crossover timbering
... topic: 3235 Crossover timbering posted: 10 Mar 2018 14:09 from: DerekStuart Afternoon all, Much has been written across the internet about timbering crossovers, but I cannot find the answer to this. So apologies if I've missed it. Is it ever permissible to shorten a timber outside the running rail? It can't even be one super-long timber as they don't line up anyway. One person has suggested this is possible and that the two timbers that had been cut like this would be secured together in the same way as when making one long timber out of two smaller ones. But I am not 100% certain he's right. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks posted: 10 Mar 2018 14:45 from: Martin Wynne Hi Derek, Which rail? How close to the chair do you want to cut it? If you mean cutting a timber very close to a chair, this would be frowned on in a running line rail. For a rail which is part of the crossover road, rather than the running line ...
... advance in increments of 1/12th of an inch. 12 is a natural number base, hence the common use of a dozen. My guess is that 5.3= 5.3/12= 5.25 5.6= 5.6/12= 5.5 5.9= 5.9/12= 5.75 which matches other company's practice. This notation probably derives from expressing crossing angles as for example "1ft in 5ft-9in". More than a guess really, I think I would bet a few bob on it. Often when the number base is not 10, the fractional dot is moved up to the middle position like this: 5 9. Does the drawing perhaps show that? regards, Martin. posted: 20 Sep 2011 18:39 from: Brian Nicholls Martin Wynne wrote: Hmm. Are you sure that is a decimal notation and not in 12ths?

... Hi Martin, Thanks for the suggestions re the( plastic) chairs. I was thinking of doing each chair in situ but as you point out the chances of keeping the rail level would be slim. Have you ever made a souffle? Correct mixture+ correct time+ correct heat=bingo but get any one wrong and disaster- don't ask me how I know At least with a souffle you are cooking it all rather than trying to warm some of it and keep the rest cool.
