Re-scaling all templates

[Phil O]

Hi Martin,

I know that this question has been answered several times before, but when I search for it, I get 'no results'. So here we go again, I need to convert an S7 layout to P4/S4. I have converted one template, but I can't manage to do the rest, except individually, but I know there's an easier way to do it.

Many thanks

Phil.

Hi Phil,

gauge > other gauges (full list) ... , then:

If you haven't set a group, you will get an option to select all of the templates.

cheers,

Martin.

Hi Guys,
Great info, I just spent hours converting old EM track work to EMSF. teach me not to ask first. Now for my silly question, how do you set the the gauge to full size or a scale of 1 to 1 or is that not possible. the reason for the question is not quite as crazy as it sounds.
if you can export at full size in DXF format there is no reason a C*D package can't use the track work as a very accurate scaling factor for buildings etc. in theory you can work in a scale of 1.1 for everything and then just scale back down once your happy.
cheers
Phil

Hi Phil,

Here you go:

Thanks Martin
Much appreciated, can you scale the measurements on the trackpad to also represent full size? Or more accurately set the grid to meaningful full size values.

Hi Phil,

Sure. You can set proto-feet units for the grid for any model scale, not only 1:1

p.s. I can't do all your menu exploring for you, it just takes too much time making the screenshots. I need some breakfast!

cheers,

Martn.
