I'm a very new user and find myself on a very steep learning curve. This program is obviously very powerful. I'm currently looking for an "a ha!" moment. My first "achievement" was to create a simple oval track with transitional curves. But while doing so I frequently experience multiple templates stacked on top of each other in the background and I was never sure why that was happening. What are some of the common causes? Thank you for any assistance. Eldon |

When you use any of the tools > menu functions with the word "make" in their name, Templot stores a copy of the existing control/current template on the background for you, before creating the new template. If you also store it yourself, you will get two copies on the background. 2. When you want to modify a background template, select "wipe to the control/current" or "delete to the control/current". (The former retains an unused copy of the original in the storage box and file.) If you select "copy to the control/current", the existing background template will remain behind the modified one. This option is intended for when you want to use a copy of the template elsewhere. regards, Martin. |

Thank you for your quick response. I believe now that all the stacked templates came about when I used the "make splits" function. Eldon |
