Re: Operations - Question from a beginner
#operationspro
Hi Paul, Great news you got it working.? To your issue with Build Failures, remember you can always put virtual staging tracks at each end of your JMRI Ops railroad to give all the cars enough space to go.? I did this as part of the planning of my railroad, then once the actual staging yards were built the virtual tracks came out.

By the way, Breezly. That setting was shown in the build report so you were right, the problem was identified there.
Thanks, Everyone Paul |

Re: Operations - Question from a beginner

Looks like I found the problem!?
In train build options, "allow cars to travel from origin to terminal" was checked. By unchecking that the switch list gave me orders to swap an empty for a loaded flatcar. The only problem now is that the program must often find destinations for more cars than my woefully incomplete layout can accommodate so I'm getting a lot of "Build Failed" when I build trains. I suspect the program will work better for me once I have a bigger yard and more spurs in place. Thanks again for all the help. If anyone has any other info that might help...I'm here to learn!

Re: Control number of lines going to printer per page-OPERATIONS
Off the top of my head is font changeable on manifest as to size of type it may just be the matter of a couple of points causing the issue. On Sun, Sep 22, 2019, 8:39 AM Frank in Houston <upitrr@...> wrote:

Hello. I use an Epson Work force WF 3720 ink jet and the PDF prints just fine. But the manifest is one line to large and the bottom line is a one/half line as if the bottom half of that one line is out of range for the printer.? What confuses me is I have been using this same printer for a couple years with no problem. This problem appeared when I downloaded the very latest JMRI release which was 4.17.4.? |

Re: Operations - Question from a beginner

Breezly,
I just built a train from a staging track which contained one loaded flatcar. There is an empty flatcar on the spur in question now. I would expect the switch list would have me pick up the empty car and drop off the loaded one but it does not. It has me only pick up the empty but not drop off the loaded one.? I viewed the build report for this train but didn't see anything that helped me find the problem. What did you mean by "do a car find"? Finding this car from the cars page only highlights it the car list. What should I be looking for in the report? Thanks Paul |

catalogTrees.xml pusrpose?
All,
? ? ?Was moving my updated JMRI layout file from my notebook over to my raspberry pi and noticed after bootup that the block values were missing.? So I assumed that there must be some other file holding them in my user directory.? Saw the blockvalues.xml and the dispatcheroptions.xml, but what is this catalogTress.xml for? Roger |

Re: Decoder Pro Loco Sequence
Charley, The top of each column can be clicked on to arrange that column in either ascending or descending order. Each click will reverse the order.

Breezly seems to think the answer may be in the build report. I am not familiar with these as a beginner but I will look into it and see it there is something in it that helps me find out what's going on. If I get to the bottom of it I'll let you all know what it was.
Thanks Paul |

Thanks, Dennis. I have already checked that, in fact I added length to the spur to be safe :-)
It did not help. Thanks Paul |

Re: Operations - Question from a beginner
#operationspro
Thanks for the reply, Bob. While I do appreciate the help you are the third person to tell me to set the move count to 4.
If you read my second post you will see that no scenario calls for more than 2 moves.? Just to make sure there isn't a arithmetic mistake in the program I did change the move count to 4 but it did not help. Therefore this is happening for some other reason. Thanks Paul? |

Re: Control number of lines going to printer per page-OPERATIONS
What brand and model of printer do you use? Laser, ink jet or antique dot matrix?

Re: Operations - Question from a beginner

Hello Paul,
JMRI Operations adds 4 feet to the length of each car to account for the couplers.? Make sure the spur length is long enough to hold both cars.? Hope this helps. Cheers, Dennis Drury Dayton, NV |

Re: Operations - Question from a beginner
#operationspro
What you want to do requires the location/spur to allow 4 moves.
The act of dropping a car is a move the act of picking up a car is one move so it takes 2 moves to drop and pick up a car 2 cars = 4 moves |

Re: Control number of lines going to printer per page-OPERATIONS

I use three printers during a session. All my paperwork is Excel generated so I use the "fast draft" setting as to print quality. However, if I forget and do not change that to normal when printing out my car locations after a session, the printed area will exceed the width of the paper. Just a thought Dave Trempealeau WI |

Re: Layout editor - connecting slips to turnouts
#layouteditor
Hi Dave. Many thanks for your help re editing connections. Got the hang of it now and started to create a panel including part of the layout. I have used MERG parts only and entered these as hardware addresses within the tables as a first step. I then used these addresses when creating the panel.
JMRI and the panel are working together but, try as I may, I find that the positioning of the toggle switches I am using do not align with that displayed in the editor. I have tried to correct this by resetting the Servo drives by reversing the ON and OFF events in my servo driver module but this seem to have no impact on the result in the editor. I must be missing something and wonder if you can help. I shall upload my panel to the group slot when I can find out how to do this. Best wishes Peter |

Re: Control number of lines going to printer per page-OPERATIONS
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThis sounds like the printer has a problem printing close to the ends of the page. This is common with older laser printers where the printer cannot control the ends of the sheet to maintain contact with the printing drum. I guess a similar problem exists in ink jet printers, if that is what you have. ? Maybe printing the text a single point size smaller will fix it. ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

Yes the PDF printed fine so I guess it is a printer issue. I just wonder why the results would be different? Interesting. I cannot find any setting on the printer to ?do something that can correct it.? THANK YOU Dan? |
