You should be able to find them still where you saved them, at C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\SKETCHBOARD-FILES\ If you go to the sketchboard and click the file> reload from file... menu item, you should see them all in that folder and be able to reload them onto the sketchboard. If Templot starts when you click on the files, they must be background shapes files( .bgs files). The background shapes should then appear on the trackpad. They should get transferred to the sketchboard when you click the sketchboard button. If the above isn't clear, please post the file here as an attachment. Generally I don't advise starting Templot by clicking on its files. It's better to start Templot from the desktop shortcut icon, and then reload whichever files you need. regards, Martin. posted: 25 Apr 2012 16:56 from: Phil O Hi Martin I eventually found them.

... going to make a much bigger dent in the donations fund, so many thanks for all the kind contributions. We shall have just one neighbour occupying the other half of the server (otherwise it would have been an even bigger dent). At present it looks likely that our neighbour will be a club for collectors of antique electric fans -- see: http://www.fancollectors.org This will be a brand new server which Jim now has on order. He is hoping to have it installed in the data centre and the transfer completed within the next couple of weeks. regards, Martin. posted: 29 Sep 2014 09:50 from: Martin Wynne It has taken a bit longer than expected (don't ask), but I'm advised by Jim that our new server is now installed in the rack and configured, and this Templot Club web site will be moving onto it tonight. That means the site may be down for a short while, but should be back up tomorrow on the new server running much better and with all the space we ...
... to the east of the goods yard and turned them to indicate roughly where I wanted the rails to bend as they enter the fiddle yard.6 Added the missing entry to the goods yard and berthing tracks7 shortened the clay pit in the lower right (SE) corner. Note the Z guage rails in this area represent the horse drawn railway from the clay pit to the nearby (about a mile) brick fields, and the return route to run adjacent to the goods yard rail in the SE corner so that the bricks could be transfered from the horse drawn wagons to the loco drawn wagons. I assume that these two lines would have been adjacent so that bricks could be passed from one wagon directly to the other without needing to be stacked in between.8 the four tracks heading west towards the fiddle yard are respectively:Northern 1- Up line to Kingston and ultimately Waterloo (originally would have gone via Richmond)No 2 -Down line from KingstonNo 3- Main berthing line for specials coming down to Kempton Park Racecourse- the real lines would have held up ...
... topic: 2374 00-SF (16.2mm) Gauge Availability posted: 10 Jan 2014 16:46 from: polybear Hi all, I am now pleased to announce that the marketing of 00-sf Track Gauges (16.2mm Roller Gauges, 15.2mm Roller Gauges and 16.2mm 3-Point Gauges) has now been transferred to C&L Finescale: http://www.finescale.org.uk/- Pete Llewellyn (C &L) confirmed to me yesterday (9th Jan 2014) that a new batch of OO-sf Gauges has been ordered from the machine shop (the same one that I used) and so should be available direct from C&L in the not-too-distant future; I don't think that the Gauges feature on the C&L website yet though, so perhaps it would be worth dropping Pete an email to express an interest. Many thanks to all who have purchased Gauges from me in the past- I hope they've proved useful. I've had some fun with the project over the last few years and I'm happy to pass ...
... Templot2: From your old computer, copy the entire C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\ folder to the new computer. After doing that it would be a good idea to download and install Templot2 again to be sure that you still have the latest version. If your existing files are from an older version of Templot before November 2011: From your old computer, copy the entire C:\TEMPLOT\ folder to the new computer. The easiest way to copy the folder across is to first copy it onto a USB memory stick. Transfer the memory stick to the new computer and then copy the folder from the stick to the new computer. Alternatively you can use an external disk drive, or copy it onto a blank CD. If you need more help doing this, please ask again. If you still have an internet connection on the old computer, there is an alternative way which doesn't require any equipment.

... back without error. But that's just my system, I wouldn't want to guarantee that Templot can handle such large files on all systems. There has to be a limit somewhere -- the difficulty is in specifying what it is, because all systems are different. Here is a tiny bit of it on the trackpad with a turnout aligned over it. I hope this small section falls within fair dealing for copyright purposes: 2_040506_390000000.png I was pleasantly surprised to find zooming and panning on the trackpad quite fast and smooth. It wouldn't transfer to the sketchboard in the default metafile format -- I got a streaming "out of memory" error, not really surprising. But by changing to the manual option to add the trackplan item in bitmap format, and using the boundary rectangle* option (the green outline above), it did work. This is the sketchboard view: 2_040506_400000001.png However, I couldn't get it into the PDF or print outputs. Partly that's because of the high degree of zoom needed, but also because picture shape bitmaps have to be ...

That assumes of course that you are still using the same computer, or all your files were copied from your old computer when you changed it. If not, you will need to go back to the old computer, and copy the files on to a CD or USB memory stick to transfer them to your current computer. regards, Martin. posted: 30 Oct 2012 22:16 from: Mal2085 Hello Martin, Very many thanks for your prompt and helpful reply, I don't think I did copy the contents from my old computer but I may have it on my laptop which I still own.

... > rails> head and foot (flat-bottom rails) menu item. 2. click real> rails> rail section data... menu item and set the dimensions for your rail section. You have now set up the FB data for the control template. 3. now group-select the background templates to which you want these settings to apply, or group> group select all templates menu item to select all of them. 4. click real> rails> modify group to match menu item, to transfer the settings from the control template into all of them. Now they should print and/or PDF showing the rail foot edges, and if you save them to a file, they will always do so. note that only background templates can be printed with the rail foot edges. They are not available when printing the control template. Nor can they appear on the trackpad screen -- output formats only. This is an interim function in the present versions of Templot. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Aug 2012 ...
... and error), I'm not getting good results on my first curved double junction. I've included the current box file to show how I've attempted it so far and the results (not inspiring). Not being a PW expert, I'm not sure of the correct way to go about it and this may be adding to my problems. Any help would be much appreciated. By the way, the overlapping circles at the top are not a mistake- they are my attempt to represent a helix, which I am using to transfer from level to level. Many thanks in anticipation Allen Oakes Attachment: attach_1472_2025_helixtop_2012_07 _18_2022_16.box 490 posted: 18 Jul 2012 21:29 from: Martin Wynne Hi Allen, Before discussing double junctions -- are you sure your 46mm track centres spacing is sufficient clearance for your rolling stock at these radii? I just did a quick check on your plan using the default vehicle sizes in the dummy vehicle tool, and it's looking too close for comfort: 2_181616_140000000.png The usual spacing for 4mm scale at these radii would be 50mm centres. ...

As far as I can tell, the only way to show Sketchboard Items on Trackpad is to check the box in the upper left corner of the Sketchboard window. style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffee"I would suggest either eliminating the Trackpad menu choice or make it checkable and have that setting transfer automatically to Sketchboard when opened and vice versa. style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffee"Mark C posted: 13 Jul 2012 08:52 from: Martin Wynne Mark C wrote: The menu choice Trackpad>Show Sketchboard Items on Trackpad seems to have no effect.

Here are some views of the same when showing on the trackpad: 2_190758_010000003.png 2_190758_010000004.png When zoomed further in, the differences between them become more obvious: 2_190758_000000002.png 2_190758_000000001.png At this level of zoom the design quality option is actually the more useful for design work, as each original pixel is clearly shown and can be used for alignment, taking measurements, etc. The above settings apply to the appearance of bitmap* items on both the sketchboard and the trackpad. There is a further option called transfer mode, see 3. above, which applies only to the trackpad, but to all the sketchboard items shown on there. This option controls the way in which the sketchboard contents are drawn on the trackpad. The low-res option renders the contents to a low-res bitmap and then uses a simple pixel-stretch function to draw it on the trackpad. This produces a poor result and is intended only for older computers. The hi-res option is intended for most users, which draws the sketchboard contents ...

This should give you some data to work with. Thanks Rob that table is very helpful. Just what I need. But my heart did sink when I started reading from the beginning. Someone spent an awful lot of time stating the bleeding obvious: "Where sleepers are used, they must transfer the load from the rails, baseplates or chairs to the track ballast or supporting structure and assist in the retention of the specified track gauge." Assist??? How else to the rails stay in place? Most of the document is this sort of stuff. I suppose it has to be done otherwise some fool would say "Why don't we make them out of balsa wood.

... the existing functions work exactly as before, so you have nothing to lose. regards, Martin. posted: 27 Jan 2012 12:56 from: Matt M. Hi Alan, Paul and Martin. Having just done this today I thought I should throw in my twopenn'orth. The printing firm I use does a lot of architectural drawing reproductions, so need to keep their equipment up-to-date and in good order. They have a real preference for PDF as it has less issues with re-sizing during the transfer from computer to printing. This is one of the reasons I was happy to update to the TDV version, as the printers were not sure if they could handle dfx files. The four 500mm x 4550mm sheets I had printed today are as good as near perfect dimensionally. The first thing I checked as the first sheet came off was the gauge of the track, done with a vernier calliper. It was spot on. As were the grid divisions. The plotter option which they offered me is more accurate across a ...
... track), I managed to put together the first rough draft this week after a delay due updating both the Apple and Windows OS. Running the current version of Templot in Windows 7 on Apple bootcamp. (Martin, I'm liking this version a lot) It was saved as a one sheet 1000 mm x 9000 mm pdf. (Using a firm that prints architectural plans). Templot says it has saved correctly, and the Templot preview looks good but when opened in Adobe all I get is a blank page. Have transferred the pdf file to the Apple OS side of the computer and it is the same, though Apple's "Preview" showed the templates perfectly so the information is there, but I will throw it through the printer tomorrow Australian time and see what happens and post the result, in the meantime maybe someone can shed some light?

Iain Rice's suggestion is fine and is what I've done- it doesn't matter which of the two crossings the centre is electrically connected to. Cheers posted: 16 Jan 2012 22:47 from: Rob Manchester Paul, Many thanks, excellent picture show. Must get some crossing nose chairs, always tried to avoid them for some reason. I do like the way you make up sections of rail on one template and then transfer them over to the main one. I can see me having trouble making sure the chairs are all on at the right time though. You seem to differ from Mr. Rice in one important respect- there isn't a bottle of scotch on the work table! Thanks again Paul, always a pleasure to see nice crossing work.

... generator in the TDV, but the option for trackbed widths in the generator settings menu is not there. Has this been removed or moved elsewhere? Hi Gordon, You have read through the change notes for TDV? The trackbed edge settings are now specific to each template and saved in the .box file. Each edge can be turned on or off independently on each template, and the width changed for each template -- more info at geometry>? trackbed- help menu item. There is a rebuild function to allow fast transfer of the settings to a group of templates or to an entire track plan. The trackbed edge settings were previously a generator setting, so this function replaces that functionality: geometry> modify group to match menu item. 2_291125_420000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 2 Dec 2011 13:25 from: Gordon S Martin Wynne wrote: Gordon S wrote: I must be going daft.

Regarding your decision, fair play to you it can't have been an easy decision but no doubt the right one. I have to say having read some of the persistent queries in the past ground me down, particularly about the written documentation, goodness knows what it did to you.

... Jim has been expanding his hosting company and now unfortunately finds himself with more hosting commitments than his internet link can easily handle. This is always a gamble, because the only way it makes economic sense is to assume that not all of your customers will want to connect at exactly the same instant. Specifically, some customers which were formerly on leased servers elsewhere have now been brought in-house, some existing customers have been extremely successful and needed extra web capacity, and earlier this year Jim acquired another small hosting company and transferred their customers to his own servers. Jim is apologetic about this, part of the problem is that some faulty equipment (now replaced) failed to record traffic peaks accurately and he was unaware of the true situation developing. Some relief may be possible in the short term by more closely monitoring exactly how much bandwidth each customer is using, but to keep everything in-house and expand his business further it will be necessary for Jim to install a much higher capacity internet link. The snag is that this is a significant ...
