Whilst i am working on Templot i was intrested in how i would change gauge & scale once a plan is done. The reason for this is i am intrested in building a nice selection of points in a few different gauges in 4mm so i can learn as much as possible about copper built points before i go for my main layout. Cheers Simon. |

Then go to the full gauges list (other gauges... menu item). Then select the new gauge/scale standard you want on the list. Then click the convert group button at the top of the dialog. However, there's a bit of a snag. If you change the gauge:scale ratio, for example going from EM to P4, the lead lengths of turnouts and diamonds will change. You may find some slight gaps or overlaps between the templates which will need tidying up after doing the conversion. Mostly it should be ok. This problem is worst for conversions to/from 00 gauge, where the gauge:scale ratio differs significantly from other gauges (except TT-3). regards, Martin. |
