Can Someone please help a computer illiterate, as I cannot find in help on my Templot what I am looking for, and I am not too good at remembering everything so I guess I read it somewhere but forgot it and where it was.

If I start with a turnout then add a branch line then a main line, if I want to go back to the turnout to change something what function key allows me to go back to the turnout and adjust it.

I just go about it the long way and hit the undo button as many times as needed to go back, not very clever and frustrating when I have to redo all that I have undone.

Then do I use the same function to go back where I started.

Hi John,

Which version of Templot are you using? Look in the help > about Templot menu item.
______________________

If it is 0.91.c , do this:

1. Click the do > parking bay > park template menu item, or press CTRL+P on the keyboard. This saves the template which you are working on.

2. Click anywhere on the template which you wish to modify.

3. On the menu which appears on the left, click the delete to the control menu item, or press T on the keyboard.

4. If a confirmation dialog appears, click the green bar.

5. Make whatever changes you want to the template.

6. Store the template again -- click the main > store & background menu item, or press CTRL+V on the keyboard.

7. Click the do > parking bay > retrieve menu item, or press CTRL+R on the keyboard. This retrieves the template which you were working on.

8. Carry on where you left off.

If you are using version 0.74.b , do this:

1. Click the control > parking bay > park template menu item, or press CTRL+P on the keyboard. This saves the template which you are working on.

2. Click anywhere on the template which you wish to modify.

3. On the menu which appears on the left, click the delete to current menu item.

4. If a confirmation dialog appears, click the green bar.

5. Make whatever changes you want to the template.

There are several other ways of doing much the same thing, but the above will work every time.

Martin.

Hi John,

It's not much to remember really. If you use the keyboard presses it takes only a second or two.

Things always look complicated when written out step-by-step like that. That's why I tend to make the videos nowadays instead.

regards,

Martin.

Hello Martin,

Hopefully not instead of.
I find step by step instructions much easier to follow. They are un-ambiguous and make it easier to stop at each step and evaluate what has been done and why. When copied to a printout they can be followed without cluttering up your screen when applying them to a Template.
That said a video is invaluable when demonstrating something, a complex action for instance, which would be difficult or even impossible to describe in writing.

regards,

ken.
