... diamonds have two separate timbers close together. Templot draws the timbering accordingly, and has done since the half-diamond templates were first introduced in version 0.78.e I think you could have easily answered this question yourself with a little experimenting. There are some detailed notes about K-crossing timbering at real> timbering> half-diamond timbering>? half-diamond timbering- help menu item. It's not straightforward. Since the changes for irregular diamonds in Templot2, the timbering of short angle diamonds needs some further work. In the meantime if necessary use the shove timber functions to match your prototype. regards, Martin. posted: 16 May 2012 18:34 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin Since the changes for irregular diamonds in Templot2, the timbering of short angle diamonds needs some further work. In the meantime if necessary use the shove timber functions to match your prototype. I wonder if it would just be easier to switch off timbering for short angle diamonds? The GWR used baulk timbers for less than 1:2, for instance, which I ...

... roythebus Help again, my mind's gone blank! I now seem to have lost the original imported track plan when I went back into Templot. Can someone be kind enough to remind me where I am likely to find the background shape to ut behind the track plan. I load the "restore previous work" and the track plan pops up, but not the background shape. I've looked in all the background shape places but it doesn't seem to be there. My memory for remembering these things really is bad! In the meantime I'll have another look. posted: 8 Oct 2020 20:32 from: stuart1600 roythebus wrote: Help again, my mind's gone blank!

... the labels in neat rows and columns. After using the row or column fuction is there a way to group restore the labels to the individual track pieces? I know I can do it one at a time but I'd like to do a group restore. Hi Peter, At present the name labels can be restored to their default positions only one at a time on an individual template basis. I will add an option in the next pug to restore them for a group of templates. Thanks for the suggestion. In the meantime you could save the group of templates to a .box file before moving the labels. If the result is not to your liking you could delete the group and add the templates back from the file. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Jan 2008 17:41 from: Peter Ayre Martin Wynne wrote: Peter Ayre wrote: Martin Wynne wrote: Also in 082a and later, there is a new function to arrange the labels in neat rows and columns.

... using them for all subsequent printing on that printer in that session. I have just checked this and it seems to be working fine here -- can you post your exact sequence of steps which is not doing this? Thanks. What I have noticed is that if you use only the rapid print now! function instead of the normal printing functions in the output menu, the printer setup is not called and you do not get an opportunity to enter the calibration settings. I will have a look at that. In the meantime, before using print now!, please go to output> printer setup... to set up the printer and enter or load the calibration settings. Between sessions you have the opportunity to save a CAL file for the printer, so that you don't need to enter the settings next time and can simply load them from the file. Templot doesn't load the CAL files automatically because you may have several such files for any given printer, for different types and thicknesses of paper. It's possible that the wording here isn't ...
... Bob, Not missed -- it's on my to-do list. I try to prioritise answers on the basis of how many users are likely to find it helpful. In this case you are asking for several hours work which will interest only a handful of users. I know there are a few other NER modellers who have already been through this, so I was hoping they might join in. But I promised a video ages ago and I will move it up the list. Sorry about the delay. In the meantime, it is in fact all in Templot. All you need is the NERA drawing. Make the existing NER template the current/control template. Go to template> switch options... Scroll to the bottom of the list and click it. Click the show switch info button. Click the stay visible button and then continue. (In 091b cick the options... button and then make stay-visible copy.) Now you have that information available for reference while you refer to the drawing and enter ...

I do tend to assume that all serious Temploteers follow this Templot Club forum. It is the first of a new format for the videos so I wanted to get some feedback before posting it more widely. In the next Templot program update you will be able to play the new videos directly from the program instead of going to the web site to find them. In the meantime, if you go to the front page of Templot Club at: http://85a.co.uk/forum/ and scroll down a bit, you will find all the links you need in the right-hand column.

29. flat bottom rail
... you can have the full variety of prototype designs in your track plan. Quite often a Templot track plan will contain no two templates exactly the same. Also, please bear in mind the licence terms for Templot. If you manufacture metal jigs from Templot designs, they must be for your own personal use only, not for sale. Templot doesn't yet have functions to create the foot lines for flat-bottom rail. It's on my to-do list, but I can't say when it will be implemented. In the meantime, there are a couple of tricks you can use: 1. Measure your rail carefully, and set the rail head width to a dummy dimension equal to the distance from the running face of the rail to the outer edge of the rail foot, at real> rails> rail section data... menu item. Then generator> generator settings> rails> rail outer edges only menu item. Then rebuild the track plan if necessary. Now you will have rail lines corresponding to one edge of the rail foot ...
... Originally of course this was going to be built in Tillig track before I was exposed to the finer oints of EM by my Perth based mentor! As such I was aware that some changes would be likely although not on a wholesale basis and at this stage it would appear that we can achieve a quite successful design and stay true to CJF's original concepts.

It's a bit premature to say that. Bear in mind that the business was for sale for 2 years, and came close to closing down entirely. Anyone criticising the new operation was entirely free to have taken it on themselves. If the business is still giving poor service after another 12 months, fair enough to criticise.

... future version which I shall continue to develop as now. It won't be open source. OpenTemplot will be a downgrade from Templot2 because Templot2 includes some copyright code which can't be open-sourced (the PDF export for example). OpenTemplot will be open source under the GNU/GPL licence: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html Once I have released the files I don't anticipate doing much with OpenTemplot myself. It will come into its own if and when Templot2 is no longer available for any reason. In the meantime if others want to work with or develop something from OpenTemplot that's fine by me (providing they stick to the GNU/GPL of course). Who these "others" might be is something of a mystery so far. There is no point my releasing the files if no-one has the means to use them. That's why I have been modifying them to be usable with Lazarus (itself open-source software). Details of how to get started with Lazarus are here: topic 2956- message 21508 cheers ...
33. tandem aids
... a one-click tandem like the new make slip functions, there are just too many variables and possible conflicts in a tandem turnout. Anyway, here is a bit of video showing some new functions in 217a coming in the next few days. You can try following it before then, but for the new functions you will have to use manual work-arounds in 216b. It would probably be better to wait. The reason for posting the video in advance is to avoid folks wasting time struggling with a tandem in the meantime. Here's the video. It's scruffy, I have added some notes, but done no editing of mouse fumbles, gaps and judders: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=iYbIr74flWmgsI_8hlsXQQ2 I will get 217a released as soon as possible.

... topic: 3151 top toolbars posted: 10 Dec 2017 19:06 from: Martin Wynne I don't know about you, but I've been finding the second row of top buttons visually uncomfortable. It may just be the result of years of use without them, but for me they form a visual barrier to finding the required button on the top row. I'm not sure what to do about it. Perhaps it would be better to have the two rows swapped over? In the meantime there is a change in the next program update. If your screen is wide enough, the second row will move to top right, and the gauge indicator will move to the left: 2_101350_220000000.png If the screen isn't wide enough for that (less than 1860 wide at the medium program size), there is no change to the present arrangement. edit: see: topic 3151- message 23084 This will be experimental to see how it works. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Dec 2017 20:38 from: Alan Kettlewell I've found them handy so far ...

It is going to need quite a bit of thought. In the meantime there is quite a lot you can do already. If you want bright reminders actually on the trackpad, you could save a sketchboard .sk9 file: 2_091244_540000000.png The reminders can be formatted in any way you like, and edited as you work. But you would have to remember to load the file of course.

... technical terms, which don't translate well using automated translation functions. I regret I don't have the competence, or the time, to translate all the text manually. There is a lot of it. If someone else can offer translations I would do my best to incorporate them into the code, although it is not a simple task. The program was not designed or built to be in anything other than English. Modern programs are designed that way, but some parts of Templot are 20 or 30 years old.

39. F7 snapping
... alternative is to make two templates line up correctly! Hi Andrew, I was quite shocked to read your comment above after you posted pictures like this of your Yeovil project storming ahead: 2787_051722_450000000.jpg I tend to assume that anyone who is using Templot at that level has mastered at least the basics of Templot. I have clearly failed users in not making some more progress with the Templot Explained basics: http://templot.com/companion/templot_explained.html I will try to get more done on that as soon as possible. In the meantime, the answer to your question is that most of the time you don't make templates line up with one another. What you do is create them already in alignment. Have a look at this video and notice that there is no F7 snapping: http://templot.com/martweb/videos/flash/starter/em_starter.html This page also shows templates being created without any F7 snapping: http://templot.com/companion/link_existing.html contd... regards, Martin. posted: 19 Sep 2017 23:53 ...
