Try saving a backup file of the whole lot, and then deleting all except the ones you want to print. Print them, and then reload the full file. Are you seeing any slowdown or problems in Templot other than when printing? cheers, Martin. posted: 26 Nov 2019 13:39 from: Martin Wynne p.s. Gordon, If you recently upgraded to Windows 10 all the way from Windows 7 in one go, it is probably still downloading dozens of updates -- which will use a lot of memory while it does it. Before doing anything else, try restarting Windows 10. That is not the same as switching it off and back on. Restarting resets a lot of stuff and takes a lot longer to start-up than a simple switch-on. That's from the Start> Power options,bottom-left. cheers, Martin. posted: ...

Personally I think the "scale societies" have a roll to play. What's surprising is societies like Scalefour ensure the independence of certain track components, but seem to have a blind spot over functional chairs.

It will all come back as I get round to updating it for Templot2, and I will put re-directs to mend the broken links. I removed it because I got tired of writing "here's a link, oh by the way it's all out of date". I'm 70 this year. I'm not going to be pushed into doing anything faster or sooner than I choose to do it. p.s. We are moving to a new ...

"Free for use by anyone" does not mean that I am giving Templot away free. It remains my intellectual property and copyright, and all use will be governed by the licence terms. There will now be a period of a few weeks in which Templot is not available to new users. This is in fairness to those who have recently purchased a paid-for version. Existing paid-for versions of Templot will continue to run for as long as you wish on your current computer. But please note there will be no more direct email support as mentioned above, and except temporarily for TDV, I have stopped issuing lock-release codes. The new version will not require a lock-release code. Hopefully this will be a fresh start for Templot which will allow me to concentrate my time on developing the program without the obligations of supporting paying customers ...
... novice when it comes to track building and knowledge of the permanent way what is the best approach when it comes to deciding and detailing the appropriate chairs required to build the trackwork? I have 8 of C&L's point kits which contain a significant number of the standard sliding chairs and regular four bolt chairs that suit my Midland based layout. Will this be a case of posting an image of each pontwork part and discussing whether a certain chair should be used in a certain location? Paul. David, of Lumpy Sidings, recently recommended "Standard Railway Equipment- Permanent Way, 1926" to me from the NERA. It covers LNER, LMS and SR, with GWR going there own way, and is a copy of trackwork diagrams, from the individual chairs (although the S1 chair is missing), through bolts and what-not to chairing details for switches (size A-E ), and common and obtuse crossings. Not all of the chair types are available from the trade, although I think you're 4mm, so you have a ...

The turnouts are based on a tracing of a Caledonian drawing which I got from a member of the Caledonian Railway Association.25_061004_300000000.jp g The radii are quite tight for S scale so the crossing angles are quite acute being 1:12 and 1:16.

... topic: 3399 Radio Paradise photo uploads posted: 22 Mar 2019 21:45 from: Martin Wynne It's been a while since I last submitted any images to Radio Paradise, so I thought I would find a few from recent outings, and create a topic for them here. Chocolate-boxy won't do, strong visual content is wanted. They must also be 16:9 landscape aspect ratio, which sometimes rules out images I might otherwise consider sending. Mike usually accepts about 40% of the ones I submit, but I never manage to predict which ones they will be. So over to you -- 8 images below just submitted. I will post the results when I get the email back. He has over 63,000 images in his database, of which only a couple of hundred are mine. So I'm quite chuffed when I see one of mine being used -- on one day recently I noticed 3 of mine in the space of a couple of hours. Here's the link for the Radio Paradise slide show (no ...

... will no doubt take up a few more days of my Templot-time." Obviously anything which interferes with the operation of your business is a priority task, although why you find email to be so unreliable beats me. Has the client set up his system so tightly that virtually nothing can get through? "That is my intention. When there is enough in the index to make it worth visiting, I shall re-compile and upload a new version daily." When is this going to happen? You have recently received a few links which I think was triggered by our earlier correspondence. Let us assume the unlikely event that all of your users suddenly spring into action and start sending you referrals. Here again you are faced with an overwhelming task which you won't be able to handle. So what mechanism will bring about the result you are awaiting? Bear in mind the better part of a year has passed and the index is moribund. You frequently mention that you find it difficult to get on with what you want to do because ...
... from: Martin Wynne David Gregory wrote: Will the real O-SF standard please step forward? I mean, before I get some gauges purchased (made-up), can someone please advise which is the "correct" O-SF gauge or is the apparent disparity just an indication that O-SF has somehow evolved from 31.2 to 31.25 over time? Hi David, Welcome to Templot Club. It is 20 years since I first included the 0-MF and 0-SF standards in Templot (and until recently also the flawed 0-XF standard). At the time some members of the Gauge 0 Guild were hostile to any diversion from the long-established GOG-F (0 -F) standard, and it has taken the Guild all this time to finally update their technical data to reflect what a great many modellers have been doing in practice for years. The original standards were both based on a 30.0mm check gauge (because both are running the same wheels): 0-MF 31.5mm track gauge, 1.5mm flangeway ...

... , rather than try to import it all into the new live database. As of now we have 30,420 posted messages in 3,608 topics. A lot of it is out-of-date, or is transient content which doesn't need to be preserved. But sorting through it to decide what is worth keeping and what isn't would be a massive task. However, to create a sense of continuity, as soon as some members are able to register I will manually seed the new forum with some of their recent posts and topic discussions. In the meantime, please continue to use this old forum as before. Martin. posted: 22 Dec 2020 23:48 from: Nigel Brown Think that's sensible.

... have is to save my work very frequently. So when writing a document in MS Word, for example, I'll typically press 'CTRL-S' to save my work once every minute or two. Hi, There is no need to do that because Templot does it for you. Every change to the storage box contents is copied to a rolling backup file. Go on, try it -- trip over the computer mains cable. Templot will come back up with your track plan as you left it and only the most recent changes to the control template will be lost. Note however that this does not apply to BGS background shapes files, or SK9 sketchboard files, so it is worth saving those occasionally if you have done a lot of work on them. regards, Martin. posted: 29 Oct 2014 20:06 from: Martin Wynne Les G wrote: I would like to be helpful; by drawing upon the processes of my current project of re-learning Templot whilst designing a new layout.

Hi Jim, You will be pleased to know that this has been on my "to-do" list for a long time, and is now in the works. A question -- would you prefer to be able to roll backwards and forwards through all recent changes to the pad view, or simply set a pre-set view which you can return to at any time? Or maybe both? The buttons can go on the zoom/pan dialog, but I'm at a loss to find any free shortcuts. A related option is a small "map" window, showing the entire pad, with a rectangle showing the required view. You could have several such rectangles, and click the one required. The objection to all such ideas is that they take up screen space ...

... topic: 3571 would you like a first look at Templot3? posted: 10 Dec 2019 11:41 from: Martin Wynne There has been a recent flurry of activity around Templot3, the open-source version of Templot. If you would like to see what that is all about, there is a new option in Templot2 version 225d: 2_100619_180000000.png If you click it, your running version of Templot2 will minimize to the taskbar, and Templot3 will open in its place. If you are in the middle of some important work, it would be a good idea to save it first. This is not a finished version of Templot3, there is still a lot of work in progress. But it is fully functional and usable apart from the missing functions -- no sketchboard, no PDF exports, and a few others. Don't get confused -- try using a different trackpad colour scheme from the one in Templot2. Notice too that the yellow hard-hat icon is green for Templot3. Close it when you have seen enough, and restore ...
