I was looking at the differences between exact scale 7mm and Scale7 - sorry very bored. I changed a straight C8 templates scale/gauge to Exact scale 7mm, using the Template/Gauge and Scale menu option and the Templot moved the template and curved it to 2027mm radius and shifted it. I played about with combinations and they all moved and curved the templates. Just wondered if that what is expected. Richard. |

For an explanation of mint, see: http://www.templot.com/martweb/gs_firstoff.htm and scroll down to "Quick-Set Form" near the bottom. regards, Martin. |

Hi Martin, I have added a v2.11 box file in OO-SF to my On30 plan as I wanted to use the 3-way template. But I find that even with the "match original" selected, as soon as I click a button or close the sleeper dialogue box -- the template moves out of position with the notch moved (from origin) to under the peg (at 0). This topic was started in 2009 so is with the earlier version, so what has changed? Apologies if this has been posted before -- but tiredness and frustration have got the beter of me  regards Keith |

Which sleeper dialog do you mean? 00-SF is 4mm/ft scale, 0n30 is 7mm/ft scale (or 1/4"). Having two different scales in the same storage box is possible, but you may get strange results with some functions. Everything should work fine with different gauges, but I don't normally test everything with two different scales present, so you may have found a bug. For many functions Templot assumes the scale present in the control template applies to the entire boxful. If you post your .box file(s) here we can sort it out.  regards, Martin. |

Hi Martin, This is the box file for the On30 which is a plan for a corner module I am doing for another club member (Dale Corner-3_10.box) which actually contains the OO-SF templates in position plus a group of the same to the left. Along with the background shape of the board (Dale corner board.bgs). The box/trackpad also includes all the variations and attempts to make something interesting -- or insane -- all part of the humour of the modular group! The OO-SF box file is one that was posted by Brian Nicholls (I think) some time ago (3 way version A2_BN_Sample.box) Just to recap - I have added the above box file to my On30, jiggled it into position on the "board" shape and then tried to change it to the On30 settings starting with the gauge, which is when stuff moves all over the place. I am mainly interested in the 3-way, but it would be nice to do the rest if poss. I realise that a certain amount of timber shoving will also be required -- par for the course. I started working with the above after fruitless attempts to create a On30 version of Peco's medium radius OO/HO 3-way point, the mechanics of the switch blades proved to be beyond my meager talents. So any tips on how to overcome that problem would also be very welcome :-) regards Keith |
