TEMPLOT 3D PLUG TRACK - To get up to speed with this experimental project click here.   To watch an introductory video click here.   See the User Guide at Bexhill West.

  • The Plug Track functions are experimental and still being developed. Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.

    For an updated overview of this project see this topic.   For some practical modelling aspects of using Plug Track see Building 3D Track.

    The assumption is that you have your own machines on which to experiment, or helpful friends with machines. Please do not send Templot files to commercial laser cutting or 3D printing firms while this project is still experimental, because the results are unpredictable and possibly wasteful.

    Some pages of this and other topics include contributions from members who are creating and posting their own CAD designs for 3D printing and laser-cutting. Do not confuse them with Templot's own exported CAD files. All files derived from Templot are © Martin Wynne.

Utter newbie with Templot here.

I'm trying to create a DXF but keep getting an error message. What am I doing wrong? I've attached a shot of the error

Hi Neil,

Welcome to Templot Club. :)

That's odd -- as you can see from the reference to floppy disks it is a very old message. I don't recall anyone ever posting sight of it before.

Can you attach your BOX file here so that I can see what's happening. Thanks.

Was that a 2D or 3D file? Are you experimenting with the 3D Plug Track functions?

Can you say something about your system? What version of Windows? Is Templot installed in the default C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\ location?

Where were you trying to save the DXF file? What happens if you choose a different location, such as on an external drive or USB stick?

cheers,

Martin.
