There´s a way to import the .rrw extension of train player to templot? I´m looking for a faster way than to draw all the layout from photo. In trainplayer there´s a "line" that the train runs on it. Or there's other format to be used as intermediate that templot accept to import?

Hi Ewerthon,

Sorry, there is no way to import files from any other software and have them converted to native track templates in Templot.

The most you can do is to import files which can be displayed on the workpad as a background guide, over which you then create Templot templates in the usual way.

There are 3 options for this:

1. DXF files from a CAD program can be imported into the background shapes function. If TrainPlayer can export DXF files this may be your best option:

dxf_import1.pngdxf_import1.png

There is a page showing Templot tracks designed over a DXF import from XTrackCad at:

 rene_tandem

Like this:

rene_tandem4.gifrene_tandem4.gif

Note that the tracks shown in grey are background shapes imported as DXF from XtrackCad, they are not Templot templates and cannot be adjusted using the usual Templot controls.


2. Image files (PNG, JPG, GIF) can be imported into the background shapes as a picture shape. This might be an image created by scanning a printed track plan or map, or an image exported from another program, or a screenshot captured while another program is running.

3. Anything displayed on the sketchboard can also be shown on the workpad and used as a background guide in the same way as the background shapes. This can include EMF metafiles which can be exported by some CAD programs and other drawing programs.

The sketchboard can also display text and graphics exported or copied from Microsoft Word, and loaded or pasted into a formatted text block item. This option demands a very large amount of memory and is not recommended on older systems.
