Printing Multiple Templates

Echini · 1 July 2021

I am very new to this and learning!
I have created two templates on the trackpad and saved both to a box file. But when I try to print them, only the "Control" template prints and I want both templates to print together. Is there a way to do this?
Is there an easy way to switch "Control" between one template and the other?

Hi,

Welcome to Templot Club.

To print all the background templates comprising a track plan, click this:

For an explanation of using the control template, you might like to watch this recording of a live demo session:

Ignore the first part and start watching at 39 minutes, 33 seconds in (drag the slider).

cheers,

Martin.

If you simply press the button with 2 orange buttons facing downwards, it saves a copy of the control template. them move the control template away and you have a background template with both turnouts on which you can print

Martin, thank you for your reply, I will take a look at that video!
I did try that print option - but that prints the background template but not the control template. Is there an option that prints both the control and background template? Or is it possible to make both templates into background without having a control template?

Hayfield, thank you too. Tried that and it worked.

Hi,

Sure. That's the entire purpose and intent of the control template. It's not part of your track plan until you make it a background template.

See this page for a basic explanation:
