Hi I have a 40ft to 1 inch GWR plan which I have as a background shape Luckily I have a large plotter at work which I can use, and what I would like to do is printout the templot plan and the background shape as one print out. I then can place it on to the baseboards which I can lay the track to, but it would also give me the position of the buildings, platform,etc Is there a way to print the Templot template and the background shape together? Thanks Ian |

Hi Ian, back_scan2.png 1. Page outlines (here as orange/black dotted lines) being adjusted for best fit. For more details about how to do this, see this video. back_scan3.png 2. After clicking print > print entire pad menu item. You must click the print pictures (stretch) option shown to get the background scan to print. I am about to print page c/10. background_print.jpg 3. Page c/10 as printed out. To print on a large-format printer, use TDV to export a large PDF file: 2_040152_560000000.png You can set the PDF sizes to anything you like for the Foxit and Nitro PDF readers. For the Adobe Reader, don't go bigger than 4000mm. regards, Martin. |

Hi Martin I'm in my 11th year of using Templot, and I've never cottoned on to the Ctrl-Shift-F10 method for moving the origin! All those hours I've spent manually setting the page origin... |
