... to resolve any conflicts, such as replacing an ordinary chair with a bridge chair where needed. Which means the chairs would also need to be visible on the trackpad. So the first question is -- are your chairs in a format which will import into Templot using the existing DXF import function (in the background shapes)? Is it possible you could send me, or attach here, a DXF file containing just one of your chairs? I can then experiment with getting Templot to include it in the DXF export. Preferably the file would be in the DXF text format, rather than binary, so that I can read it. I can probably convert it if not. What I'm still very hazy about is how we get from a drawing in TurboCAD to something a 3D printer can use? I've been reading that the STL format is many years old, dating from before 3D printers became generally available, and is generally regarded as too low in resolution for them? Does your printer lay the filaments in horizontal sections, i.e. everything at ...

... exaggerated form, the distinctive dogleg produced by the loose heel of the switch. 2787_031658_470000000.jpg Sprayed and wired, the track is very fragile in this state so I took a tip from Iain rice and soldered some rail across the point work to reinforce it. All I've now got to do is get up the courage to lay it in a bed of glue and ballast it all in one just like Norman Solomon!! Martin I'm aware that this isn't strictly 'correct' continuing in 'Baffled beginners' part of the forum. Would you prefer that I put this under track building topic instead? If so, is it possible to move it if it is more relevant elsewhere? Kind regards and thanks for this really fantastic program.

... files or files not saved while in this mode. In the classic Templot mode, everything will continue to work exactly as it does now, with the addition of the make the control menu option which will often be a useful time saver. I have given these new modes the PageUp and PageDown shortcuts so that experienced users can quickly swap modes if they wish. (These shortcuts were previously on the little-used zoom-free option.) The new make on click mode will be the default (unless you set your preferences otherwise) and will I think address some of the concerns of new users and make Templot track planning work in a way more similar to many Windows programs. It will of course be a damn nuisance when building complex formations from multiple partial templates, and I fully expect experienced users to switch back to the classic Templot mode for such work. And probably much else. The much bigger downside for me is that it renders hundreds of tutorial screenshots and thousands of video frames even more out of date than they are already. ...

... in all browsers, despite being marked "Awaiting Moderation" at the bottom left. That appears to be something of a contradiction if everyone can already see it? I made a small donation to their funds. cheers, Martin. Martin Well done. I like your method of updating the EXIF data with the position. Me, I don't carry mobile phones so that wouldn't work, but I'm happy working from maps anyway, and if I think it warrants it I'll take a Garmin. There are two uploading methods. I prefer the first, although it can appear long winded. But for Geograph's purposes getting the positions of photographer and subject right matters. The stuff about classification is rather the brain-child of those who go to town on adding extra information and can get extremely tedious if you go the whole hog, but I just put in the minimum required. The "awaiting moderation" bit means casual users (non-members) can't see it until it's been moderated. You may find a suggestion that you remove your name if possible ...

... topic: 3591 trackpad colour scheme in preferences posted: 31 Dec 2019 12:16 from: stuart1600 This may not be a flaw, other than possibly in my (mis-)understanding. From a thread last October I got the impression that the selected trackpad colour scheme was being retained in the saved preferences- initially in a "scruff update", but I assumed incorporated into the later full updates. I'm currently using 225d but the trackpad scheme isn't being saved with my other preferences. Have I perhaps inadvertently stopped this being saved?

... What you do is move them around until they line up with one another. Enter the second and third scans as picture shapes exactly as you did for the first one: 2_201008_470000000.png To line them up: 1. Click the one in the list which you want to move. The border around it will change to red. 2. It is easier to align the images if the one you are moving is transparent, so tick the transparent box. (When you have the image where you want it, you will probably prefer to untick the box to work over the image. Also, images which are transparent can't zoom in so far.) 3. Click the shift button to move it about as a mouse action, until it aligns with the previous one. 4. When all done, click the save all as... button to save a .bgs file containing the new dimensions. The advantage of the Templot mouse actions over the usual Windows method of grabbing the corners, is that you can zoom in close and still use the ...

... topic: 1535 Label Colour posted: 14 Jun 2011 11:50 from: richard_t Hello Not sure if this is a bug, but I've saved my preferences in a Templot session, where the colour scheme was "Bright Night". When I restart Templot and choose to use the preferences, the background labels are the orange colour from the pre-set colour scheme, but the scheme itself isn't used/loaded, and I have the "sky blue startup" scheme. This makes the labels really hard to read. Although, resetting the colour scheme back to "sky blue startup", does restore the label colour to brown/maroon. posted: 14 Jun 2011 11:56 from: Martin Wynne richard_t wrote: When I restart Templot and choose to use the preferences, the background labels are the orange colour from the pre-set colour scheme, Hi Richard, Really?

I did have a little trouble with the Information and setup popup screen, since I first thought it was just read only, and all the parts below that in the dropdown window you posted, were all greyed out. However, after moving the mouse around the screen and noting parts highlighted, I then realised that ...
