... topic: 3535 Help needed -- transfer of BOX files to TemplotMEC and OpenTemplot posted: 30 Oct 2019 23:33 from: Martin Wynne At present there is no means to transfer BOX data files from Templot2 to the open-source versions of Templot, which use the OTBOX data format. The open-source versions can't open BOX files directly because of unavoidable differences in data formats between the compilers. Which is a significant deterrent to making much use of the open-source versions (OT/MEC). Not before time, I have now got round to doing something about that. I have created a new MECBOX file format to perform transfers between them. It is quite slow to save and load for large box files, but you need only to transfer a file once, after which you can save it in OTBOX format for future working. Attached below is a scruff release 224z of Templot2, with a few new features. The screenshots should be self-explanatory: 2_301753_450000001.png 2_301753_440000000.png The above option is on by default and you probably ...
... selling on a CD, then it probably ought to have a complete and up-to-date version of the website help pages so that those on dial-up (who perhaps are most likely to want a CD) can have ready access to this material. posted: 25 Sep 2007 16:44 from: donald peters My Templot installation is on a different computer than that used for my Web connection because of historic problems from virus attack. Because my Web computer has no CD write capability all data has to be transferred by floppy. Pugs are now too large for this means so the only choice is a CD. Only downloading of data is a no-no. Regards all, Donald Peters posted: 25 Sep 2007 17:17 from: Richard Spencer Hi Donald Re Templot on a different computer, maybe you should consider a USB stick there cheap and easy to use "plug and play" allowing you to download on one computer, I presume you have anti virus on your "Net computer" most anti virus software checks before ...

Using Windows 7, and a brother scanner, it saves the plans in \desktop\scanner\trackplans. No matter what I've tried, the system won't let me save them as .bgs format. A couple of times Templot has locked solid, using the method in the video to try to load the scan. I've had to log off and force a shut-down. Templot tried to copy the plan, but copied a load of data for about 5 minutes, ...

Indeed this is a different one to my previous efforts as I'm building the crossings separately, directly on a spare Templot plan and then transferring them complete to the waiting sleepers! Not done this before but it does enable me opportunity to give the crossing a good old wash and brush up( after all the soldering) that isn't possible if already stuck in place and, as I mentioned earlier, when using steel rail that's a real benefit in keeping corrosion at bay. I feel also that it helps me build a more accurate crossing which is so often the part of turnout construction that trips me up! Kind regards Andrew posted: 1 Jan 2019 00: ...
... the shops, I am now licking my lips in eager anticipation!! So very much better than the dreadful (Ford) Windows setup! Fast& beautiful...the computers' equivalent of a Porche Here in the US, Parallels or Fusion cost $78 (about 40 in British coinage) but have not yet decided between them as opinions seem to be equal as to which (if any) is best. Either will avoid the hassle of having to restart the computer everytime Templot is used. Is it possible to transfer the Windows on my old PC, so as not to have to pay Microsoft for another copy of XP (even if it is OEM)? Raymond. posted: 15 Feb 2008 21:19 from: John Searle Hi Everyone Encouraged by reading this thread, I have now installed Templot on my Mac. So far everything seems to run very well. I have calibrated my printer which seems to work as it should. The program runs quickly and I have had no problems so far. My Mac is an iMac ...
... topic: 3555 changes in version 224a posted: 19 Nov 2019 13:23 from: Martin Wynne Here is a summary of the changes in Templot program update 224a, released 19th November 2019. The main purpose of this release is to provide a means to transfer data from Templot2 to the open-source versions of Templot (Templot3 and TemplotMEC). 1. new MECBOX file format Until now there was no means to transfer BOX data files from Templot2 to the open-source versions of Templot, which use the BOX3 data format. The open-source versions can't load BOX files directly because of unavoidable differences in data formats between the compilers. Likewise Templot2 can't load the open-source BOX3 files. Which was a significant deterrent to making much use of the open-source versions. Not before time, I have now in this 224a update got round to doing something about that. I have created a new MECBOX file format as a go-between to perform transfers between the versions. It is text-based, which means it is ...
... one time. Whether that is actually how the file viewer works in practice I'm not entirely sure* (it uses David Baldwin's HtmlViewer component to display them), but the PNG option is provided so that users can choose whichever option works best on their system. Whether to remove the PNG option is one of many questions which an active OT/MEC group might want to consider. I tend to adopt the IIABDFI approach (if it ain't broke don't fix it). I'm making good progress with a new file format for transfers to OT/MEC, I should be able to post a scruff release in a day or two. You will then be able to load Jim's .box files into OT/MEC to test the file viewer. Thanks for popping back, I was beginning to wonder if you had fallen off your bike. *not entirely sure is PR-speak for haven't the faintest idea. cheers, Martin. posted: 27 Oct 2019 12:11 from: Graeme Thanks for the info Martin.

Pictures can be so cruel when taken at this distance. I assume it a Slaters PO kit- seem to remember they come with number transfers to go with the pre-printed owners name.

... topic: 1855 Memo Notes being unnecessarily transferred to another template posted: 2 Mar 2012 00:29 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Not sure if this is a fault or what. Having placed a custom turnout onto my track plan, I then did the following:< tools>< make branch track> On inspection, I found that all my custom memo notes associated with the custom turnout had also been transferred in as the memo notes of the branch track template. The custom notes in the branch track template are not required, so thought I should report it. All the best, Brian Nicholls. posted: 2 Mar 2012 09:04 from: Martin Wynne Brian Nicholls wrote: Not sure if this is a fault or what. Hi Brian, It's by design.

... 2_092152_280000000.png But if you are thinking of changing the track layout I will hold fire. Are there any board joints to be avoided in positioning the turnouts? regards, Martin. posted: 10 May 2016 09:18 from: RK Hi Martin, Thanks. What I'm thinking is to move the Up Main to Up Relief link up a little and have it feed into the Down Goods to remove that scissor. In essence the order at the top of that screen shot is Down Goods, Down Main, Up Main, Yard Transfer, Yard Access. On the left, working down is Down Depot, Up Relief, Down Main, Up Main and the straight at the bottom is the yard headshunt that feeds directly off the Yard Transfer line. The Down Depot and Up Relief both merge into the Down Goods with both being connected to the Yard Access through that ladder track. My thought is to push the Up Main to Up Relief link back a little so it connects to the Down Goods instead, with the Down Depot to Down Goods point being ...

I've tried copying these by rebuilding a group with 'modify on rebuild> timbering+ lengths as current' but the omitted timbers are not omitted on the rebuilt timbers. Is there an easy way to do it without shoving timbers in 50+ templates? Hi Richard, Sorry, there is no way to transfer shove timber data to an existing background template. Had you set the tools> make tools: options> retain shoved timbers option while designing your fiddle yard, any timber shoving on the first template would have been transferred to each subsequent one as you created it. I will look at adding this to the modify on rebuild function for retrospective changes. It won't be easy because each background template may already have some timber shoving of its own. In the meantime the best I can suggest is that you go to real> ...
... topic: 3058 Templot a Macbook running it with Wine and file downloads and transfers posted: 30 Jul 2017 19:34 from: Michael Druiett Hello Everyone, my first post to this forum as a new member, Im enjoying learning how to use templot and have now got my single slip and tandem drawn, printed out and looking good. The learning curve has been greatly speeded up thanks to the videos as well so a big thank you for that. One frustration I am having, I am running the programme on my Mac book, and I'm using Wine as a converter to do so. The programme is working perfectly and Im able to work with it. The frustration is this: Its running each time through the set.exe file, storing saved work etc, I can't seem to get it to work and convert as an independent app and I don't know how to export import files?? Id appreciate any tips how to get over this little hiccup many thanks Michael posted: 30 Jul 2017 20:51 from: Martin Wynne Hi Michael ...
... MacLean One more session and my new baseboards should be complete! Which means I can start laying track. While the baseboard project has been on-going, I have started bench construction of some of the more complex pint configurations. I am intending to try the 'ballast-as-you-go' technique which means accurate positioning of the point modules while the glue retains its tackiness. As an assist, I am envisaging printing mirror images of the more critical track patterns onto the ink-jet paper that is used to transfer images onto T-shirts and the like and ironing the templates onto the cork underlay. [Expensive I know, but this will be my last layout and I want to ensure it will be done right. And it will only be on the complex bits!] First questions then are, obviously, has anyone tried this? And, if so, did it work and was it worth the effort? Did the heat of the transfer process affect the cork underlay? Secondly, if this is unexplored territory, how ...

With the NSWGR drawings that I'm hunting down I've had reason to reproduce some very large plans of surveys from 1908 for personal use. These are 6 x 2 metres. Till recently the process of reproducing these items digitally has been prohibitive. Plus there was no way to handle and utilise a 100% 600ppi copy. Now I can handle these on my laptop with no problems. The only issue on hard copies is finding a printer large enough. But it wasn't free. Even with a discount ...
15. Lock code
... topic: 125 Lock code posted: 11 Aug 2007 13:47 from: its_all_downhill Hi Martin I seem to be have an unfair amount of computer gremlins at the moment, and am not sure if you got my mail about transferring my lock code from my home PC that has died again to my Sony Viao laptop, so thought it best to try and contact you through the forum. I think I might have transfered it once before when my previous PC decided to go pop! so don't know if I have reached a transfer limit. I am prepared to buy another Templot if needs be.

... they own the OS they have the ability to enforce things much more stringently. The fact that your PC will not connect to the internet should not cause you a problem as far as I know. Whatever you do though, you will need to formally "activate" the software presumably by phone call to the activation line. The other thought, if you are going to decommission the current PC and it has a proper "full" version of XP (rather than an OEM version) on it you should be able to transfer it to the new machine and M$ ought to accept it for re-activation. Backup. If a Dual Raid system is not all I thought it was, what exactly should I be going for? I do not want to rely on something that backs up say once a day.(I do that anyway, via Nero. What I would prefer is something that 'mirrors' and saves everything as I save it. Is there anything that will do that please? Mirroring will protect you on a transaction by ...

19. BGS file format
... topic: 3561 BGS file format posted: 27 Nov 2019 02:54 from: Martin Wynne As you know I recently introduced a new MECBOX interchange file format for BOX data transfers between T2 and T3. So thoughts naturally turned to doing something similar for the BGS background shapes files, which are equally incompatible between T2 and T3 as they stand. The existing BGS binary file format was invented in 5 minutes flat on a wet Wednesday afternoon 25 years ago, solely for the purpose of getting some data from one computer to another before teatime, on a floppy disk. (The data, not the tea.) The BGS format has been a constant thorn in my side ever since. It is so primitive that it has been impossible to add some much-needed extra functions to the background shapes, and the picture shapes and maps had to be bolted on the side as separate SK7n and SK8n files. It should have been replaced years ago of course -- but I originally intended that the sketchboard functions would replace the background shapes entirely. ...

He also says that he has a detailed knowledge of both C&L and Exactoscale ranges and has been a modeller for many years. Also the exhibition stand wll be continuing.
