    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.

Zooming error on trackpad 2.45a

Hi Martin,
Just loaded the Wantage box and bgs files that Paul Kindly uploaded on the 47S topic and I get some odd results when zooming in on the plan. Everything looks fine until you get to a certain zoom level and then the background goes mostly black and the shapes don't show.

Like this :-

Maybe Paul can try this on his system ? It zooms fine without the shapes file.

Hi Rob,

It is not Templot, it is the Windows GDI.

To solve the problem, click this button and untick this box:

On most systems you will then be able to zoom in deeply, until a single pixel fills the screen. :)

But not all. On some systems it may crash the GDI if you go too far.

cheers,

Martin.
