Content types
When you create a new row in the template, you must select a content type for the row. For example, when you add a row and then add a value field, Template Editor is asking for the content type. The content type determines which template attributes you can use on that row.
The available content types are:
Content type |
Description |
---|---|
ANALYSIS_RIGID_LINK |
Use to create lists of analysis rigid links. |
ANTIMATERIAL |
Use to create lists of holes and recesses, or parts removed as a result of a cut. In Template Editor, the same attributes that are available for PART are available for ANTIMATERIAL. However, only the attributes that are useful to be used with ANTIMATERIAL are shown, including NAME , LENGTH , WIDTH , HEIGHT , AREA , PROFILE , and NUMBER , and user-defined attributes. |
