Hi all (with apologies in advance for asking this question; I know it's been discussed several times before but I'm stuffed if I can find the thread(s)). I am finding that I am getting duplicate templates- I click, select M and then move a template and it's left a 'ghost' behind. When I am finished with a template I click 'store and background'. I'm sure that's what I've always done, but not had this issue before. I have successfully designed several tandems and slips now (thanks to Martin's excellent videos), but when I've tried to make a change to it I can see there's the unwanted template and oddly I cannot select it no matter where I click, leading me to either 'clear all templates' or pull the others apart to remove the one I don't want. If anyone could remind me or point out the previous discussion, I'd really appreciate it.Thanks, Derek |

Hi Derek, Generally if you use M make the control, you don't also need to store any templates, the "make" functions do that for you. If you store it yourself you will get duplicated templates. If you use T delete to the control, then you must store the templates yourself. These different options give you maximum flexibility, especially when using multiple partial templates, but can seem confusing for beginners. This topic covers the matter in detail, including a bit of video: topic 2534 If you can't select a template by clicking on it, because other templates are in the same place, hold down the SHIFT key or put the CAPS LOCK on. Then you can select any template by clicking on its name label (which may not be near the template). The templates will highlight as you move over the labels. If the labels themselves are overlapping, select the first one, and move it out of the way (L move name label). You can then select the one which you want. regards, Martin. |

Hello Martin Thanks for the reply. I understand now. I'm sorry it must be so irritating for people to ask the same questions again- I did try searching, but I think my terms were not right. BTW although still a Templot beginner, I think I am generally getting the hang of it all now and am so glad that I persevered with it. Thanks again for your help. |
