... file box just says they are all empty. Could anyone tell me how to get my existing files across to my new computer. Regards, Paul Scott posted: 24 Jan 2020 16:37 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, You need to copy your files from wherever you saved them on the old computer. By default that is in the C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\BOX-FILES\ and C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\SHAPE-FILES\ folders. The easiest way is to copy them onto a USB memory stick to transfer them. Put them in the same folders on the new computer. cheers, Martin. posted: 26 Jan 2020 23:02 from: Paul Scott Hello Martin, Thank you for your reply, your advise worked perfectly. Thanks again.

Hi Dave, For BOX template files it is necessary to use the compatible MECBOX transfer format. That means for old files in Templot2 they need to be reloaded first in Templot2 and then exported in MECBOX format. You can do that for individual files from the storage box, or entire folders-full of old BOX files can be exported in MECBOX format from the file viewer. For recent files since Templot2 version 224a, when saving as BOX files they are now also exported as MECBOX files at the same time (unless you turn that option off). Once you have a MECBOX file, it can ...

... when I see that it's not correct. Edit- Templot does of course remember where it was installed! I've just reinstalled it and the default path is exactly where I left it. 105_010412_360000000.png Cheers, Paul Last edited on 1 Aug 2019 09:12 by Paul Boyd posted: 1 Aug 2019 10:01 from: Les Fram Hi Martin Just to clear up the exact circumstances of my recent update failure, I have been using Templot 2 for some years and installed quite a few updates, all successfully, until now including transfer to a new computer. I have searched with File viewer and File Explorer and looked as suggested for a sub folder TEMPLOT_DEV in the TEMPLOT_DEV folder but found nothing. By the way, thank you for your welcome, until now Templot has been trouble free for me with several successful projects under my belt.

... my company supplied all-singing-all-dancing scanner/printer/copier (although the company wouldn't fork out for the A3 scanner version :-( The photo printer will do banners- when I have the patience to feed the paper in "just so". My plan will be to have a couple of full copies printed out by a local print shop for alignments and the like, but to still print sections of the plan on either of the printers I have at home, to create the track on. Transferring the near completed track over to the full plan. Might not work in practice mind you. Hope that helps. Richard.

... (it turns orange when clicked), and you can then click-drag the rectangle: 2_051958_360000000.png To change the rectangle you can either draw a new one, or use the mouse actions to move its sides. It's not new, it has been there for years. To remove an unwanted rectangle, click on the trackpad without dragging a rectangle. Note that drawing and removing the rectangle is a separate function from toggling the restricted template area. The rectangle is also used to control the export area for image files, and transfers to the sketchboard. In update 218d shortly. Now available. You all knew I wouldn't be able to stay away from programming for long. regards, Martin. posted: 6 Feb 2018 03:32 from: DerekStuart Morning Martin I haven't personally noticed Templot getting any slower. Even with a large London terminus on the trackpad it still performs well. The same applies to a number of specialist pieces of software that I use for work (control of other equipment etc). What I have noticed, if it's of ...

... came together. So, as others have said, have a 'play' first of all then get serious. When you get down to the actual plane, try this. It might sount a bit like going two steps back and one forward but it worked for us. If you havene't got the boards already built, draw them full size on a role of lining paper. Mark where you would like the tracks to be situated but most importantly where they cross the baseboard joints. Measure the points at which this happens and transfer these points to baseborads drwan in Templot. Thses are drawn as 'shapes' and appear in the screen. using the right measurements, they can appear as a series of shapes joined to each other. Now lay pieces of plain track onto the screen and make sure they pass through the points of reference you took from the full size plan. Save this plan and the shapes. Now start 'playing until you acheive your gaol. Please mail me for any more help. Best of luck Dave Smith posted: posted: 18 ...

... looks a very good representation of the original. Should there be wagon turntables on the section of track at right angles to everything else in the yard area? Jim. Jim, Thanks for spotting the crossover well under minimum radius. I'll find that and try to correct it. Yes, there are a couple of wagon tunrtables in the goods yard. In the early 1930's shunting was done by a man (Cecil Bell) and a Shire horse. Later, as traffic increased, the horse was withdrawn and Mr. Bell transfered to another yard. His position was taken over by Jack Wing and a shunting engine (usually a J3) was sent each day from Doncaster. posted: 23 Feb 2009 21:20 from: Andrew Fendick Templot User wrote: -- --- from Peter Chappell -- --- Andrew I am always interested in anybody doing anything on the southern end io the ECML so good luck with your project.

... be retained to interact with other CAD software. Perhaps other CAD formats could be considered? Hi Jonathan, Many thanks for your comments. I've no plans remove any of these features. But I am interested to know which of them are deserving of further attention in line with other developments, and which can be left as they are. For example I am currently working on the Sketchbook feature. At present this is entirely uni-directional -- Templot data can go on the sketchbook, but as yet there is no data transfer in the other direction. It would seem useful to be able to use the spacing ring tool for example on the sketchbook -- but it's complicated and not worth bothering with if hardly anyone actually uses the spacing ring! Spot zoom essentially repeats the mouse wheel zooming, but with greater precision. It's also useful for those users without a mouse wheel. There is an alternative scale zoom mouse action which centres on the location of the grid origin instead of the pad centre. Perhaps that should have the keyboard shortcut instead of ...

... corner in actual mm for the printed page. Sketchboard works this way when there is no trackplan item on the board. The printed dimensions are shown on the top and left yellow rulers. As an indication that this mode is in force, most of the dimension labels are shown in red: 2_151224_280000000.png (In this mode the sketchboard could be used to create simple leaflets, greetings cards, etc., should anyone choose to use Templot for such work.) When there is a trackplan item on the sketchboard, dimensioning is transferred to the blue rulers on the bottom and right, which are scaled to match the grid dimensions on the workpad and not the printed paper dimensions. It is not necessary for the trackplan item to occupy the full page, the 0,0 origin on the blue rulers will set itself to the bottom left corner of the trackplan, as for the grid origin on the workpad. Items on the page are then dimensioned to their bottom left corner, as on the workpad, and as an indication that this mode is in ...
