Import a template

Place a template in a node in
Project view
 to add the object, object type, or a variable to the project.
  1. From the main toolbar, select
    Template Libraries
    .
  2. (optional) In
    Libraries
    , select
    Configure
    and then select
    Preserve paths on library elements
    .
    TIP:
    By default, importing a template with dependencies creates the objects in the parent node of the imported template. Preserve paths on library elements to import template dependencies to their original nodes.
    For example, if you import a widget that depends on objects located in the
    Model
     folder, select
    Preserve paths on library elements
     to recreate the objects in the Model folder.
  3. Either:
    • Drag a template from the library into a node in
      Project view
      .
    • Drag a graphic object template from
      Libraries
       to the editor or
      Project view
      .
  4. If the template is an object type, select either:
    • Import as type
      . Add an object type based on the template into the project.
    • Import as instance
      . Add an object instance based on the template into the project.
Object from a template library is imported to the project.
TIP: Object tooltips indicate the library from which objects were imported. If the templates of imported objects are removed from the library, the tooltips display a message indicating that the reference library cannot be found.
