Modifying imported AutoCAD and MicroStation files in Template Editor

An imported AutoCAD or MicroStation file is a group of shapes in Template Editor.

To modify an imported file do the following:

  1. Select the imported image, right-click and select Properties to open the Object Properties dialog.

    To modify an individual shape of the group, you must first ungroup it.

  2. Modify the properties of the group, or of an individual shape in the group.
  3. Click OK to save the changes.

    Regroup the shapes when you are done modifying individual shapes.

  4. Save the template.
