Hi
I have a 40ft to 1 inch GWR plan which I have as a background shape

Luckily I have a large plotter at work which I can use, and  what I would like to do is printout the templot plan and the background shape as one print out. I then can place it on to the baseboards which I can lay the track to, but it would also give me the position of the buildings, platform,etc

Is there a way to print the Templot template and the background shape together?

Thanks


Ian

Hi Ian,

1. Page outlines (here as orange/black dotted lines) being adjusted for best fit. For more details about how to do this, see this video.

2. After clicking print > print entire pad menu item. You must click the print pictures (stretch) option shown to get the background scan to print. I am about to print page c/10.

3. Page c/10 as printed out.



To print on a large-format printer, use TDV to export a large PDF file:

You can set the PDF sizes to anything you like for the Foxit and Nitro PDF readers. For the Adobe Reader, don't go bigger than 4000mm.

regards,

Martin.

Hi Martin

I'm in my 11th year of using Templot, and I've never cottoned on to the Ctrl-Shift-F10 method for moving the origin!  All those hours I've spent manually setting the page origin... :(
