I would be most grateful for the scans as my local, French, library is unlikely to have the book! Brian, There are some cheap copies of the book in Amazon( .co.uk) market place at £1.89 and with postage to France of £3.75 it would be only £5.64. Just an idea. Also, I tried the link for the jpg and the zip files but the links don't work for me, are they still there or have you removed them? Finally, as with several CJF plans although a good concept (I looked at a 3 level version of this plan) you do have to watch the gradients as you sometimes end up with "train set" gradients.

... the 32-bit or 64-bit version as required.) 1. open your PDF file in Nitro Reader. 2. click on the map image to select it. 3. right-click and select either Copy Image or Extract Image... If you copy, you can paste it into your usual graphics editor program and then save the file for use in a picture shape. If you extract it, you can save the file directly from Nitro Reader, preferably in PNG format (please not the default JPG format). For TDV you can use an extracted PNG file directly as a picture shape. For Templot version 091c you need to open the file or paste the image into your graphics editor program, and then save in BMP format for the picture shape. You know the scale of the map, so with a bit of trial and error in the picture shape dialog you should be able to find the scanned dpi to create the picture shape at the correct scaled size. It is probably either 300dpi or 600dpi. regards ...
... email. Can someone point me in the right direction? Hi Martyn, Arrange your screen in Templot to show what you want, and then press the PRINT SCREEN key on the keyboard (usually next to F12). This doesn't actually print the screen, it simply copies it onto the Windows clipboard. Now start your image editing program such as PaintShopPro, or Windows Paint. Click the Edit> Paste menu item. The screen view from Templot will appear as an image. Now you can save your work as a single JPG or PNG image file. Use JPG format if the background scan covers a significant part of the screen area. If it's only a small part of the screen, you will get a better quality image by saving in PNG format. regards, Martin.

... . Martin, Like you I choose the dpi to match the job being done. Within the scanning program I can choose the mode (automatic, leisure or professional). In automatic mode there is no indication to the user of the dpi being used. The leisure mode is fixed at 300dpi. I always use the professional mode in which I am offered a choice of 21 dpi values between 50 and 12800. In Windows Explorer, well for the version that I have in Windows 7, if you right click on a jpg* file that has been scanned and select properties and then details the dpi of the scan is shown. In the picture editing program that I use there is an option to see the information about the picture and this includes the pixel per inch (or sometimes pixel per cm) which is the dpi.* png,& tif files don't give this info, but a gif does.

Martin. posted: 20 May 2011 17:00 from: Martin Wynne A change in the TDV which you may not have noticed -- when creating picture shapes you can now use JPG, GIF, PNG image formats in addition to BMP. Also it's no longer necessary to have the original image file in the same folder as the BGS file -- the TDV saves an image copy in there in its own sk8 format. regards, Martin. posted: 20 May 2011 18:54 from: Martin Wynne Paul Boyd wrote: This is using 0.91c in Windows 7.

... of detail in the image, not the size of the image in pixels. Likewise with GIF and PNG format for static images. An image of a patch of single colour 10,000 x 6,000 pixels would occupy only a few bytes in a file. The way to keep file sizes small is to remove everything from the screen which is not needed in the video. Closing the info and zoom dialogs, and working without timbering, will make a much smaller video file size -- provided you go nowhere near JPG and MPG formats, which should never be used for program screenshots and look awful when so used. I keep saying this, but the vast majority of Templot screenshots posted on forums such as RMweb are still in JPG format and look pretty dreadful as a result. 8-bit indexed PNG (256-colour) is far and away the best option. What screen area do you recommend is best for Templot tutorials? Some users are still using 1024 x 768 screens, so it needs to fit on that, and ...

... line thickness> set any line thickness... menu item. Also of course they need to be set to some colour other than white. They are probably going faint because you are viewing the image at less than 100% using a resampling algorithm. The default settings are intended to be only 1 dot wide at 100% size, which is fine for printing, and should show on the screen as thin lines in PNG format. Your files are looking ok here at 100% size. (If you use the JPG format, all bets are off. Don't do it.) See also: topic 2848 regards, Martin. posted: 5 Mar 2016 21:51 from: Martin Wynne p.s.

Is there a facility in Templot to do this? Hi Ian,{ rant mode= on} First of all, JPG is not a suitable format -- in fact it's the worst possible. It's intended only for real-world photographic images and makes a complete mess of solid-colour screen graphics.

You will notice I have the lower plan in blue and the upper plan in red. I have the following concerns regarding the lower and left side of the combined plan. It would appear that some of your upper grades are coming down directly over lower level trackwork, particularly in the lower left corner. It appears the lower level ramp up to the upper level needs to come back down to arrive at the turntable and fiddle yard. Clearances here look rather tight. I would suggest that ramp elevations ...

Hi Roy, You can simply drag and drop your JPG file onto the trackpad, the same way you did with the BGS3 file. It will create a background picture shape. Zoom out to see it. You will then need to resize it to the correct size for your model scale. There are some Frank Dyer JPG attachments in this topic: topic 3167- message 23244 Is that the one?

Hi Rob, For grinding of lathe tools and milling cutters ideally you need a cup grinding wheel in soft white aluminium oxide: 125-mm-x -40-mm-straight-cup-grinding-wheels-242-p [ekm]230x224[ekm] .jpg http://www.abtec4abrasives.com/125-mm-x -40-mm-straight-cup-grinding-wheels-242-p.asp Others suppliers are available -- and prices. Soft white tool-grinding wheels run much cooler than the usual grey wheel found on bench grinders. Grinding takes place on the top face of the cup wall only, don't use the sides. When it is worn you can dress it back to a flat face and square corner using a dressing tool. Either using a hand tool ...

... topic: 3099 Background images posted: 8 Oct 2017 11:55 from: Tim Lee I am working with a mac using crossover. The NLS maps facility is non functional... presumably because mac doesn't run the correct browser. I have my track plan background within a cad programme with the NLS 25" map imported as an image and re scaled to the correct size. I have exported this as a series of jpgs (2100mm x 900mm) at 1:76.2 scale.... so when imported into templot they should come in at the rights size to scale. The drag and drop function doesn't work. I can import direct from file and it comes in to the background. It won't allow me to rescale (haven't checked if I need to or not). It won't save the image. I am assuming that I am doing something wrong but can't find any advice which appears to match my symptoms. Tim posted: 8 Oct 2017 12:43 from: Tim Lee Not to worry.... I ...

However I have just scanned another plan and whilst the file size is similar( same DPI) it printed as a black rectangle. Sizing the background image down resulted in a proper print being produced. Is this all down to printer memory or associated issues? The PC has 32GB of memory of which about 26GB is available. Please let me know if I am missing something.

I usually import a jpg file containing the baseboard outlines for a project as a background shape and print this with the track templates. Recently the background shapes have not been printing. I have not consciously changed any of the settings I normally use. Can anyone suggest what I may have inadvertently changed? Thanks.

In order to print background picture shapes, you need to select this option on the pages dialog: 2_060731_230000000.png But it can be problematic on some printers/systems because of the very large degree of magnification required. If the image contains only the baseboard outlines, using a picture shape is a bit of an overkill.
