No need to aplogise, I think I got carried away with the 'tutorial' thoughts.  Whilst you may not intend it that way, others may . 

I like the 'bold' timbers look as well.

Bear in mind that it's not finished yet. That's why it is section 99. I think when it is split into pages and indexed, and the Templot Explained section has got a bit further, everything will be clearer.

It was in effect a reply to Bill on here, but more than I could sensibly put in a post.

For those coming fresh to this topic, the page we are talking about is:

cheers,

Martin.

The previous, not too different, Golf had a pretty good manual. This one connecting what can be done with how you actually do it isn't really apparent When I got my new car the manual was on CD. I tried to read it in the comfort of my office, but no it does not work on a PC. You have to load it in the car. There is a paper manual, but all the useful bits say "read the CD". So I sat in my car one night, but could not see where to insert the CD. It doesn't even tell you this in the paper manual!!!

Brilliant , “the end of the duplicate monster is near “
Will it work for all “ make “ cases 

Might it not be useful to make the “bold “ outline a different color, a sea of green on a track plan can make it hard to see the duplicate

Changing the colour would mean finding a new colour for each colour scheme, and adding a means to set it. More work.

It's quite obvious on the screen which one is in bold. Here it is in the "bright night" scheme:



Yes, it works in all cases. It is simply the most recently created background template, however you create it.

a sea of green on a track plan can make it hard to see the duplicateI think you have misunderstood. It is not showing duplicate templates, simply the last one you created. It is up to you not to duplicate it.

Notice on this page:

 http://templot.com/companion/basics.php

that I didn't create any duplicates.

cheers,

Martin.

I have added some more to:

 http://templot.com/companion/basics.php

to introduce delete to the control.

I think I should now leave it there and get it split up and indexed. Then I can get back to the Templot Explained section, including a video tutorial showing a small track plan being created. The above was not intended to be that, it just happened that way as a means to show the comings and goings in the storage box.

cheers,

Martin.

Hi Martin

I give in. I have searched and searched and I cannot find the "background detail" dialog above.

Help please.
