In 233b I added the draw new and make function with the intention that it might be helpful for Templot beginners.
But I've since realised how very useful it is for everyone, when aligning templates over tracks on a background map. Draw a line along the track on the map and it becomes a template immediately.
For curved track, draw a chord across the arc (i.e. each end of the straight line is on the the track), and then use The CTRL+F10 swell mouse action to adjust it onto the curve.
For transition curves, the usual method is to add a short dummy template at each end as above, and then use the make transition link function to join them.
Here is a bit of scruff video showing this function in use:
