... : 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. Hi Richard, Yes it does, see: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-02.html But you are a bit late -- my copy updated itself several days ago.

... ? many thanks Richard1763_031407_070000000.jpg Hi Richard This looks to be a closer rendition of the prototype, going by your earlier post with the map. I prefer layouts on curves rather straights with a semi circle at each end, they always appear to be longer to my eye.

If you use the keyboard presses it takes only a second or two. Things always look complicated when written out step-by-step like that. That's why I tend to make the videos nowadays instead. Hello Martin, Hopefully not instead of. I find step by step instructions much easier to follow. They are un-ambiguous and make it easier to stop at each step and evaluate what has been done and why. When copied to a printout they can be followed without cluttering up your screen when applying them to a Template. That said a video is invaluable when demonstrating something, a complex action for instance, which would be difficult or even impossible to describe in writing. regards, ken.

I do realise now that I could use the Parking Bay for 3 of "X.XXT-XH" templates rather than background templates in the storage box. The advantages in being that it's quicker to get at the parking bay than trawl though the storage box. When I get time I'll amend the instructions accordingly. posted: 30 Apr 2010 20:08 from: richard_t As promised an updated version of a irregular diamond help/walk through. The method has changed (uses the parking bay, a feature I should use more), but the outcome is the same. There is also a note about adjusting the templates when the diamond lies within a transation (probably also applies to a slew as well).

Needless to say, I took no photos...

... Now that the common crossing is ready to install I am requesting some guidance with respect to the type and distribution of chairs on my interlaced laser cut sleepers. I am using the C&L four bolt chairs and note that there may be less need for special chairs on interlaced timbers as the vee rails can be supported by chairs that are staggered or alternate so as to not get in the way of any adjacent chairs. Can anyone shed some light on what chairs to use as the C&L and P4 track company instructions only appear valid for regular turnouts, not interlaced. posted: 12 Sep 2010 23:45 from: Paul Hamilton Given the overwhelming response I gather that I may need to add a photograph of what I am talking about to make it clearer! Will do this evening. One clarification is that no templates exist for interlaced timbers so I have no reference for chair type and positioning. posted: 13 Sep 2010 01:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, Which prototype are you modelling?

Somehow when I got to that point I just moved the control template onto that point instead; I put it down to ttrying things too late at night! cheers Nigel posted: 9 Mar 2009 14:01 from: Martin Wynne Nigel Brown wrote: I rechecked. No, it was F4 I was using. Although the info box which appears claims that it's doing what it should, in fact it works the same as 4 and Ctrl-F4. Hi Nigel, Can you provide a screenshot or detailed instructions for me to reproduce this? I've tried everything I can think of, and F4 always changes the length of the template. The sleepers roll as well, but that's how F4 works. CTRL-F4 rolls the sleepers without changing the template length. If this is a bug it needs fixing urgently, but at present I can't reproduce it. It's possible that there is an issue with the CTRL key on your computer. Do you get the same effect if you use the menus? regards, Martin. posted: ...

... it. I have downloaded your samples above and they seem to work just fine after conversion to my scale (N scale) I had no problems changing the frog angle to #12. However when I want to make longer turnouts I presume I also need longer points. From what I can gather 16'6" points are ok up to about #10 turnout. After that 19' points are used. But I cannot seem to understand how I am to extend the points to 19' points, can you help me with instructions for that? I am using Templot 0,91c.

Some trial and error is usually needed to get the most pleasing result. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Nov 2010 17:57 from: Robert Preston Thank you Martin, I realised my solution didn't have transition curves but I didn't know how to get peg align to work with transitions. I have sweated blood and tears over using peg align to make a transition between transitions (if you follow me), but I clearly hadn't read all your instructions properly because I didn't know you had to have the peg at the "business end" of the transition. I've just tried Richard's example again and it worked beautifully! I look forward to a new era in using transition curves. Robert posted: 10 Nov 2010 12:14 from: richard_t Many thanks both.

... topic: 1303 Another new user of Templot posted: 9 Dec 2010 11:33 from: Tim Chapman The drawing pad on 74b has the following menu headings: control generator track geometry adjust tools pad print help but your "create a track plan" tutorial headings are different: control generator template real geometry action do tools pad print help When trying to use your "create a track plan" tutorial instructions, the different headings stop my progress when I want to "insert a turnout in plain track".

After one or two false starts, I installed Windows via Bootcamp, but it has to be retail copy, most windows progs are preregistered to the computer they are sold/installed with.

... problem is with the Nat West program and not with Templot. Nevertheless I would be interested to know what you mean by "clash". What error messages were displayed? what is a default printer or a pdf generator? Your default printer is the one which Windows uses if you don't specify any particular printer. Many users have more than one printer on their system. If you have only one printer, it is automatically the default printer. "Default" anything means the choice which is used in the absence of any instructions to the contrary. A PDF generator is a computer program which pretends to be a printer. But instead of printing the page on paper it creates it as a PDF file and saves it on your computer. You can then print it for real at a later date by using a program called a PDF reader. The two common ones are Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader. You can set a PDF generator to be your default printer if you wish, instead of your real printer. This is handy if you have run ...

... the angle of the bend in the wing rail exactly matches the crossing angle on the vee. Check by sliding the wing rail through the gauge tools up against the vee and seeing that it is properly flush against the side of the vee. Adjust the bend as necessary. Then slide the rail back just far enough to drop in the crossing-flangeway gauge strip without force but also without any freedom. Rob: I checked the angles using the same jig I made the vee parts with as advised in the EM Gauge Society instructions. I suppose the springiness of the rail bend could lead to some error here. Martin: If you do both wing rails this way, the knuckle bends should align. Rob: We shall see next time. More care needed me thinks. Martin: The templates show the knuckle bend as a sharp bend, but it doesn't need to be sharp. Many prototype designs have a radiused knuckle bend, with the result that the knuckle gap is wider than the crossing flangeway. If you replicate this it will be less ...
