I know this has probably been asked before, how can I print a small scale copy of a proposed track plan using just the centre lines on something like a standard A4 sheet?

Hi Roy,

To print on a single page, click this menu option before printing:

To change which elements appear on a printed output, for example if you want only track centre-lines, click this menu item:

2_051112_520000001.png2_051112_520000001.png


This dialog will then appear, and you can untick elements not wanted:

You can then print quickly by clicking this menu item:

If you print only track centre-lines, you may find that they are too faint. You can click this option:

If you want to set the line thicknesses to some other setting, click this menu item:

cheers,

p.s. Roy,

I answered your question about printing track centre-lines, but you may prefer to print a bold coloured plan by clicking this option instead:

Diagram mode ignores centre-lines and fills solid colour between the rails.

But note that it won't fully print partial templates, such as those in slips or tandem turnouts.

Martin.
