Hi.. I have noticed that sometime when working after I have save to background and then delete to control I end up with a few extras which I have to delete, Is thre something I'm doing wrong?? After I place a template I need to curve it but in the center of the point, as to give the point a kick to line up as per drawing, How can I do this?? Other than them, I'm having a great time using templot. Thanks Stuart |

There is no need to do that, because all the functions with "make" in their name automatically store the existing control template on the background for you, before making the new control template. After I place a template I need to curve it but in the center of the point, as to give the point a kick to line up as per drawing, How can I do this??Sorry, can you explain a bit more? There are several functions to align the templates, one of the most frequently used is F6, which adjusts the curving radius. Make sure first that you have the red fixing peg at the end which you want to remain fixed. Here is a short Jing video, showing F6 in use: http://screencast.com/t/wJq5q8ShPc (I can't put captions in Jing, so I've used the screen keyboard to show key presses.) regards, Martin. |

Martin, Thanks for your reply. I'm working on Bodmin General with a scan images. Where the point leads from the main to the goods shed and cattle pens the are some very complex curves (we for me) to try and do in templot. As you can see from the image that there are 3 curves that are throught the template. I will try and mak a vid to post. Stuart |

Matching a background scan can be quite demanding. A good approach is to use F10 to create short bits of dummy template at intervals. Then you can use the make transition function to link them. They can then be deleted, and the transition template shortened or lengthened to replace them. Here's a Jing video showing that process on your plan: http://screencast.com/t/6I0UJgqVA2 regards, Martin. |
