... topic: 2402 Problems adding stored templates posted: 10 Feb 2014 16:26 from: wcampbell23 HELP! I created several turnout templates and stored them in individual box files. I started a new project and then attempted to add the stored templates as additional templates. I also attempted to add the stored templates as library templates. The first template loaded appears OK in the storage box which then looks like this: 54_101119_050000000.png The "add library" button is then clicked and a second file selected and opened- as I understand the current documentation, this should add it to the storage box and the list of library templates. The storage box then looks like this: 54_101121_140000000.png So, second template appears- BUT- the first template has gone! The same problem occurs when the "add file" option is used. I have tried this several times with Templot being quit and restarted so there is no left over from the previous attempt or other templates loaded. Is this a problem with Templot's file handling or have I missed something obvious? Any assistance ...

... topic: 3200 Info button on storage box not working when storage box dragged outside main templot window posted: 29 Jan 2018 15:50 from: richard_t I think the info button on the storage box when storage box dragged outside main Templot window doesn't work. Works fine if the storage box is still within the main Templot window. Last edited on 29 Jan 2018 15:52 by richard_t posted: 29 Jan 2018 16:31 from: Martin Wynne Hi Richard, Have you got the trackpad window dragged off to the right? The data panel is a child window of the trackpad, so can't go beyond it and normally appears at the right-hand side of it. If you set the trackpad smaller, the data panel will appear nearer to the left. Or you can drag it to wherever you want it within the trackpad. All seems to be working as intended here. regards, Martin. posted: 29 Jan 2018 17:09 from: richard_t Ah sorry, it's when the storage box is on another screen from the main ...

... topic: 2093 Help needed to locate original storage box posted: 30 Oct 2012 21:55 from: Mal2085 My apologies if this has already been raised before but I am having trouble trying to find some track plans from some time ago. this is my tale and I hope some knowledgable soul may be able to help and point me in the right direction. I bought Templot a few years ago, plugged away at it and managed to complete a couple of track plans placing them in my storage box. Having achieved the plans I printed one out and put it away for another day in anticipation of making a start on track laying. Regrettably that didn't happen, the track plan looked a bit dog-eared when I found it with some bits missing, in the interim I had also changed my computer. Once again my thoughts turned to the old track plan and I went to the Templot Website. I had not visited templot for many months, possibly years. All had changed, Templot 2 was now the software and so I downloaded ...

... rivet, pcb, or ply and chair. Any others....?) but essentially which is quickest? I suspect ply and rivet is slower than the others, and clearly chair and ply looks better than pcb, but is there a time and financial penalty? 4. Just a quicky about Templot: I think I understand "copy to current", but what is the difference in use between "wipe to current" and "delete to current". Presumably delete to current deletes the template from the storage box, and you won't have a copy there of what the template was like before you modified it. But what does "wipe" do?

At what point should I upgrade to a later version? And how far? To a .8 version or .9? I ask this because I notice that some of the videos have commands not present ...

If I then select the next template (with the arrows), then the new name isn't displayed, but the old one.

... topic: 1345 Strategy for multiple object on workspace posted: 21 Jan 2011 06:22 from: Nicholas Geti I have figured out how to get a background turnout and the control template on the workspace and then move the control template into position. It appears that saving to the storage box only saves the current state of the control template and not the other templates showing on the background. Does that mean every time there will be a saved entry for each of the final positions that were set by the control template? In other words can more than one object be stored as a control template? I tried using the grouping function to put several templates on the background then wiping to control template. This seemed to work but then all of the existing stored templates were changed to the same template. Am I doing this correctly?

... work because Templot insists on creating a new crossover on the TS side whereas I wanted it on the MS side (I hope I've got these the right way around). I concluded that the notch and maybe also the peg positions were driving this behaviour and by playing around with their positions I finally achieved what I wanted. Surely there must be an easier way of doing this. While the crossover positions were going wrong, I undid (left arrow) the changes and they disappeared. However, when I looked at the storage box list, the same crossover was defined about 10 times!! I deleted the duplicates with the storage box delete button. BTW, the storage box is for "Midland Central" even though I saved it with a different name.

... you have on the screen is data. Templot loads that data from a file. It doesn't open the file. You can load data from several files and have it all on the screen at the same time (add function) When you save the data, it creates a new file to contain it. You can save all the data, or only part of it (save group function). You can see which file the data was last loaded from, or last saved to, on the top line of the storage box (if you can't see the full path, drag the right edge of the storage box wider): 2_150641_460000000.png That information is also shown on each page of the printed templates, in very small text at the top of the page below the trim margin. If you have lots of saved Templot files, you can browse through them and see a screenshot of each, at files> file viewer menu item. It's very handy if you can't remember what's in each one. p.s. in Templot "reload" refers ...

... topic: 1970 Storage box- help please posted: 29 May 2012 17:17 from: Bob Juleff Could someone please tell me how to move a stored template into a different storage box. This morning I created a number of satisfactory templates and stored them. I saved all before quitting for lunch. After lunch, despite no alcohol being taken, I made a mistake. I reopened my previous session, made some alterations to some of the templates and printed some. I lost one of these templates when I think I deleted to control a subsequent template without store and background to the previous one. Anyway it is nowhere to be seen in the box. I have saved this afternoons work before quitting. My question is, whilst I can open this morning's session and its storage box, can I move one of the templates (the one I later lost) from in there to this afternoons session's storage box, thus recovering my lost template? I am using v.0.91c with Windows 7. Thanks in anticipation. posted: 29 May 2012 17 ...
