... when running Windows in a virtual machine on Apple devices. Well done for spotting that Howard was running Word at the same time. In my experience that awful program is the cause of more grief than any other software. Most developers believe it uses special undocumented Windows functions. Howard, have you tried Hibernate/Resume when Templot is the only application running? regards, Martin. posted: 10 Jan 2014 12:13 from: Jim Guthrie Another thing Howard might try is running Checkdisk on his machine. I suggest this from recent experience when I had to sort out an occasional BSOD on my daughter's laptop and the fault turned out to be bad sectors on her hard disk.

Have you found the 25" to mile c1937 maps at the NLS site obviously 1:2500 approx rather than 1:480 but might help.. regards Rodney Hills posted: 1 Aug 2016 10:59 from: Martin Wynne rodney_hills wrote: Hello Martin you recently asked in another place for a 40 ft to the inch plan of Newhaven. Hi Rodney, I may have done, but I have no recollection of doing so, nor can I think of any reason to do it. Are you sure it was me? Can you provide the RMweb link? Yes I know about the 25" mapping of England& Wales on the NLS web site. They started at the south coast working northwards and have currently reached a line roughly from Bristol to Hull, see: http://maps.nls.uk/geo/ ...
143. File preview
... 500 screenshots will need 450MB of available RAM on the system. Which may slow things down a bit on older systems. It would be worth taking a few minutes to split up the files into smaller sub-folders to make the task easier. Presumably the traditional option of using the Windows GetFile dialogue will remain for people who know what is in the files they created? Yes, there is no change to any existing functions. If you know which file you want that is still the quickest way to reload it. The recent files list is even quicker. regards, Martin. posted: 26 Feb 2014 16:53 from: JFS Many thanks for that Martin. Just on the question of the generator settings- would it be possible for Templot to "automatically" select skeleton settings just for the purpose of drawing the images and revert to the user's setting on completion? Cheers, Howard. posted: 26 Feb 2014 17:27 from: Godfrey Earnshaw Hi Martin, Sorry if you thought I was pressuring you it was just my childish eager ...

I have with success got a scanned track sketch as my background shape, but when my brain begins to fry I turn Templot off for a rest! When I turn it on again the track comes back, but the background image doesn't. It also doesn't appear in the shapes box until I click on recent files. So I can get it back, but I'd rather it just sat there from the start. Is that possible? posted: 11 Oct 2015 14:23 from: Martin Wynne Jubilee42 wrote: When I turn it on again the track comes back, but the background image doesn't.

Peter Last edited on 7 Mar 2014 11:27 by Peter Ayre posted: 7 Mar 2014 12:01 from: Martin Wynne Another option for those having email problems is to revert to receiving Templot Club emails via YahooGroups instead of direct from Templot Club. The old Templot email group is still alive and well after all these years: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/templot/conversations/messages The future of YahooGroups seems to be constantly in doubt. But they have recently had yet another revamp, seemingly to look more like the social networking sites. The basic email distribution is still working exactly as it always has done. It is erratic, emails sometimes arrive out of order or get mysteriously delayed for days, but they do usually arrive in the end. Most of the time it is ok -- it's working fine today for example. You would need to register as a member of the Templot group if not already, and set your email preferences to receive immediate emails. Every Templot ...

... interest to know what railway company and period Peter is trying to model. Bye the way Martin, have you changed the format of the message posting screen? I ask this, because I am getting a different screen to what it used to be, see attached image below (edit::: or not). Now I must admit, that this may be due to the fact that I have changed over to a new PC which runs Windows 7 64 bit OS, using Internet Explorer 11. Also my internet provider recently changed over to another server, with Yahoo, which did initially make some changes, but in addition, Yahoo have very recently changed things again, so I am not quite sure what is really going on with the service. There does not seem to be anyway I can add the "smiles" images to the message, they are just not there anymore. Also the upload image facility appears to be missing, as I was about to add a screen shot of the changed message format, but find I cannot. ...
... ?id=582 6. A great deal of information has appeared here in Templot Club messages and nowhere else. This includes the details of some new version features. For example here are some details of the new functions introduced in the old version 091c: 2_031329_240000000.png That topic is here: topic 330 And likewise for 091b: topic 113 7. Similarly for Templot2, a very long list of new features is detailed on the change log page: 2_031329_240000002.png That page is here: topic 1511- message 9413 8. Then more recently I have been creating video tutorials in FBR format. These are accessed from within the program rather than the web site: 2_031329_240000001.png 9. And finally there is the new Templot Companion web site and A-Z index. This looks good, but as you will know if you have visited it, there is very little actual content there as yet. The plan is that all the above information, including hundreds of updated screenshots and dozens of web pages and videos, should eventually be integrated into it, including most importantly ...

I have just done a search of Templot and only found readers. Burble Burble Burble Many Thanks Phil posted: 2 Jul 2015 16:01 from: Martin Wynne Hi Phil, I'm going just as daft as you. I did recently post a link for my preferred PDF reader program, PDF-XChange Viewer: http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer but I can't remember where. It may have been on RMweb or Western Thunder. You don't need a PDF writer program for Templot -- it has its own PDF writer function -- output> export a file... menu item.

... topic: 2707 Admin -- you can't post messages by email posted: 10 Jun 2015 16:10 from: Martin Wynne May I just remind everyone that you can't post messages to Templot Club by email. There have been several attempts today and in recent days to do that. Every email message from Templot Club contains this at the top: Web link- click here to read this message in original context with images and attachments, and with any subsequent amendments or additions: a clickable link to Templot Club web site Please use the above link to reply to this message. It is not possible to reply to this message by email. I think the problem is that so many people now use webmail services rather than an email client program, that they don't realise when they are sending emails.

... to drilled in the copperclad timber and the pin inserted? What would be the best way of locating the holes accurately? The vero pins I have seen are quite long so presumably would need to be shortened and then pushed into the hole so that the flat top is flush with the top of the timber. Hi Charles, It is getting on for 40 years since I last did this. It worked fine then, so there's no reason why it shouldn't work now. But as far as I know no-one has recently tried it, or at least, they haven't said so.

... topic: 2516 Variation of chairs on a crossover posted: 21 Aug 2014 07:49 from: Hayfield On my recent trip to Bodmin Central I decided to try and get some close ups of some of the switch and crossing chairs. Looking at the platform resell crossover there seemed to be a mixture of different chairs (2& 3 bolt). These may have been changed during BR days, or just using what can be found now in preservation circles. 982_201348_500000000.jpg 982_201349_180000000.jpg 982_201349_580000000.jpg 982_201350_190000000.jpg posted: 21 Aug 2014 07:53 from: Hayfield Sorry I can't seem to edit between photos, nor can I stitch the photos together. Perhaps I should have taken a Panoramic photo In the top photo there is a strange bar between the rails, may be some form of locking mechanism, but why its there? The second and third photo shows the different plate under the crossing nose chair. Upper check rail has 4 2 bolt check chairs and one 4 bolt, lower check rail chairs 4 bolt chairs.

... topic: 2530 Rescue files posted: 4 Sep 2014 14:01 from: Raymond Hi Martin, Serious computer problems here have caused the loss of all my Templot files (my fault, I forgot to add them to Carbonite's list). I uploaded recently a bgs and box file that are quite important and complex that I am working on for a friend. Is there a way to download them back here again, he said very hopefully. Regards Raymond posted: 4 Sep 2014 14:11 from: Martin Wynne Hi Raymond, Sorry to hear of your computer problems. If you uploaded files here then yes they are still here for you or anyone else to download. I think perhaps you mean in this topic: topic 2504 For the future, all members of Templot Club have a private space to upload Templot files here for safe-keeping off your system.

... your diamonds around 1:5 or 1:6, I suggest changing the diagonal road to a gentle curve, so that some crossings are shorter, and some longer: 2_141304_090000000.png Here I changed the turnout at A to a B-6.5, and moved it back a little way round the curve. I made a gently curving branch track from it. Then the diamond at B is around 1:4 and suitable for double outside slip roads. There is just about room between the main roads for the switch. My recent video about moving switches close behind the crossing may help. The diamond at C is about 1:10, so will need to be a switch-diamond, making an interesting double slip. Then the final diamond at D is around 1:6.5 and just about long enough for a conventional inside slip in 00. I imagine the same idea could be applied to the other diagonal road. rather than guessing a number, making the track then using the roll vehicle only to find that it was too wide or not ...
155. Scaleforum
... from: Tony W Hi. I was at Scaleforum with my layout Green Street, which seemed to attract a lot of attention and nice comments. Add in the quality of much RTR stock, which is something we could only dream about years ago and the fact that converting a good many of them to P4 is so much easier now with the ready availability of drop in wheel-sets from a variety of sources, yes I know there is a long waiting list for some of them, but they are available. I recently converted a Heljan class 33 and straight out of the box it runs like a sewing machine. Perhaps this is another element in the incentive to want trackwork of a matching standard.

156. Changes in 217a
... . I arranged the bottom row before I introduced the movable toolbar option (which beginners might not notice anyway), the intention being to have the most frequently used functions nearer the middle of a typical 1280-wide screen. It's easy to change the order now, if there is a consensus. What we can't do is change it later after I have made a dozen more videos using them. Do you see why I have been dragging my feet so much over the docs? Already there are videos and pages made quite recently which are out of date, without looking at stuff which is 15 years old. I have some ideas for the next 217b to automate at least some of the process of creating a tandem turnout. Which would mean that I should be putting off yet again making an up-to-date full tutorial for tandems. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Dec 2017 08:02 from: Godfrey Earnshaw Hi Martin, If I may be so bold, my preference would be the tutorial for tandems and other matters. ...
157. Saving templates
... the tdv? Rgds, Stuart posted: 24 Jan 2012 21:17 from: Martin Wynne Hi Stuart, TDV is a development version so the installer does not register any file associations. This means you cannot start TDV by clicking on its files. If you have an older full version of Templot installed, Windows will start that version when a .box or .bgs file is clicked. Instead, start TDV normally and then click the reload button: 2_111359_500000000.png Then select the file you wish to reload. Alternatively you can click the recent files button to select from a list of your recent TDV files. The situation will change when the full version of Templot2 is released. regards, Martin. posted: 24 Jan 2012 22:14 from: sm Thanks Martin Rgds, Stuart posted: 26 Jan 2012 18:41 from: sm is there a way to place the peg in a position of my choosing rather than the options in GEOMETRY, PEG POSITIONS or am I missing the correct option.

... from: Martin Wynne madscientist wrote: Templot complains the two curves are the same hand and radius( yes they are the same radius Hi Dave, .box file? I can't answer that without seeing the file. However, CTRL+ X swaps the hand of the template, with no visible difference for plain track. (a) I can split track at a peg, that's fine, is there a way to rejoin track that's split No, but you can undo changes to get back before the split, if it was recent. If you have since changed the radius of one or both of the templates, you may be able to use make transition to create a single template with a zero-length transition at the former boundary. If you haven't, you can use the extend/shorten to meet functions to extend one of the templates to its former length, and then delete the other one.

... in a new window separate from the browser: 2_280700_080000002.png 6. if you click the same link again at any time later, the player should appear immediately without needing to download the video again. 7. you can drag the video around, minimize it, whatever, swap to Templot and still see it, have several videos running at the same time, etc. Which makes this format much more flexible than watching on a web page. But only if it works. Which it does here, just fine. But after recent reports of problems with the Templot updates and video links, I'm not sure. Once I'm sure this format is working, at least for the majority of users, I can get on and create more videos and be updating all the old web site pages. regards, Martin. posted: 28 Nov 2017 13:47 from: John Palmer Just installed version 2.16.b, running on Win 7 Pro, with Firefox as default web browser.
