... I need to make a transition curve in 0.91.c and I'm lost. Can anyone help. Stuart, With one of the the tracks as the control template, click on the other track on the background and a pop up menu appears with the "peg/align tools" option. Clicking on this brings up another pop up menu with "make transition curve from control template" as an option. Clicking on this option gives you two further options to generate the curve and also a help choice. Jim.

That illustrates the problem of responding to non-specific questions -- it's impossible to guess where the user is in terms of Templot knowledge. On the other hand it shows the advantage of a forum such as this, where everyone can contribute their own interpretation of what information is being requested. Martin ...
... to be avoided: 2_040820_490000000.png At the same time I'm adding a similar function to draw a platform edge alongside a template. I know many users are waiting for this. To minimise changes to the generator engine, I'm deprecating the old adjacent tracks function. This will be available in future only via the program panel program menu, and if selected will replace the above functions in the generator. You can't have both at once. I have also been working this week on the Sketchbook feature. After much head scratching I have finally beaten the Windows metafile functions into submission. The base track plan can now be inserted either in raster format (bitmap) or in vector format (metafile). The latter provides much improved zooming and printout. It also provides an EMF file in passing, which can be opened in most photo editor programs, and then re-saved in GIF or PNG format (or JPG if you must). This means I no longer need to provide a separate raster image output in these formats, which has saved quite a bit ...

... ' vee the control template. Its peg is currently positioned on the fine point (otherwise move the peg to the fine point with Ctrl+ 4). Now shift the vee onto the notch (e.g. with the'*' key). A combination of some rotation with F8 and curving with F6 should line the vee up rather better, then resize it with F9. As it happens, I get a good fit with a crossing angle of 1: 5, as shown:2129_080840_440000000.png Just noticed that Martin has beaten me to it! posted: 8 Dec 2017 14:05 from: Alan Kettlewell Hello Martin& John, Many thanks for your replies.

... 25 May 2007 21:28 from: Templot User === from Brian Lewis === Richard, I was not getting at you personally- it just seems extraordinary that there are no less than three standards. This is certain to cause confusion and dilute the advantages of the narrower track gauge. You are right- some of the 'clunky' wheels- Walsall, etc. will not go through 31mm trackwork easily. I was going to give you some specs to work on, but I see young Martin W has beaten me to it.

I don't see a problem -- it gives folk a choice. It's important that WHEELS are standardised. But track is built in the privacy of your own workshop and doesn't need to ...
... Gordon, Here's a picture of a Barry slip at Beverley. Picture kindly provided by Mick Nicholson: barry_slip.jpg So called because they were common in the sorting sidings at Barry Docks. There is more discussion about them in this topic. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Feb 2008 03:34 from: Jim Guthrie Gordon S wrote: Always willing to learn Jim. What's a Barry slip? I've heard of slip points to protect the main line but not heard that expression before... Gordon, I see Martin has beaten me to it with the description But it must be the favourite formation for Templot users. I feel honour bound to include at least one in any layout design I do and I suspect that Martin is even now programming a "Make Barry Slip" into the next PUG. Jim.

Will these make it into the next version of Templot? Hi Richard, Sorry, no. Coding-wise the check rails are bit of a nightmare. The present arrangements leave a lot to be desired, but twice now they have beaten my attempts to upgrade to something better. A few years ago they caused an entire Pug (0.81) to be abandoned at a late stage because the check rail coding fell apart in total confusion. This time I'm absolutely not going to touch the check rails until I have the next Pug finished and released. Unfortunately that means the present check rail arrangements will have to remain as they are for the time being. After that I intend to start again and provide full check rail adjustment by mouse action. regards, Martin ...

The only good product with that name that I have seen had handlebars and a seat.... Rob posted: 5 Oct 2011 23:07 from: Dave Summers I think the reason it did it is clearly stated in your screenshot! I had the same problem initially but I seem to have beaten NIS into submission and I no longer have to go through this restore process. As to whether your Norton product should be removed, I would say leave it alone. It can be over-zealous at times but overall, I'm very happy with it. I've used Norton Antivirus/Internet Security programs for over 20 years and never had an infection or security breach. Nuff said. posted: 5 Oct 2011 23:31 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: Went to open the latest Development version again this evening ...
... (not that it is complicated) this useful addition I have to say that it simplifies and speeds up the process a great deal with the added bonus that far fewer partial templates are required for complex formations. It was particularly useful in producing the 1:4 outside slip. Thank you and well done Martin.

It has beaten me twice in the past, so I'm quite pleased that it seems to be ok now. regards, Martin. posted: 11 Dec 2011 16:44 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin Just passing through... I think I've found a bug on the check rail adjustments(Ctrl-Shift-F9) that only applies to irregular diamonds, and only on DS2. Basically, if you try to adjust the flared length you get unexpected results- the rail length seems to change but the flared length doesn't. ...

The last one lost me 2days work. I now use the cloud; it's to get loads of free storage by using lots of services. posted: 2 Jul 2017 09:39 from: FraserSmith Hi Martin I understand your concern in that you have to support users on multiple Windows versions. I realised I was going off the beaten track in installing Templot into my "Documents" folder on Win10 but I tried it and it worked for me. I was aware of the requirement of no spaces in folder names and when I realised that the Documents folder was on a path that contained no spaces anywhere I thought it was worth a go. I was trying to organise my files to synchronise between three machines and a Synology drive that would only synchronise a single folder. It would backup multiple folders but not synchronise multiple folders. On the subject of usb ...

Please help me understand where I have gone wrong. cheers Godders Attachment: attach_2487_3073_group_Auto_Create _Slip_2017_09_10_0827_45.box 168 posted: 10 Sep 2017 09:08 from: Andrew Duncan Hello Martin Yes I hear that you're being pulled all over the place and that your real love is the programming side. Fighting that is the almost equally strong desire to document it all so that everybody can use or look up how to use Templot with ease. I mentioned Three Ways purely selfishly as its the last common formation that has beaten me (Stephen from Borg Rail did both of mine for me) and I'd really like to know how he did it. So conversely in fact following the route of concentrating on the Companion would actually suit me and I'd think many of us "loyal subjects" very well! Thanks again for your apparently tireless enthusiasm in both programming Templot and replying to all our posts here and of course for broadening our horizons with both cricket and porridge. Kind regards Andrew posted: 10 Sep 2017 11:54 from: Martin Wynne ...
... in Word you realise that the vast majority of them don't have a clue about how to use the program correctly. In any case it is a pretty crap piece of software where loads of things just don't work properly. On the other hand WordPerfect was an exceptionally good word processor. 25 years ago in it's DOS incarnation it could do everything properly that Word still cannot do as the underlying document structure is so much better than that used in Word. It's very much a VHS/Betamax situation where the better solution has been beaten by the poorer product backed up by better marketing. The Function key based approach of WP worked then just like Martin's Function key approach has worked with Templot. That doesn't suit everyone but it is what it is and if you want an extremely flexible and powerful template creating piece of software then you have to accept it. I like it as it is just as I liked the WP keyboard template. Yes it's hellishly frustrating initially to remember where everything is but slowly, with repetition, the fog clears. It could have ...
