Template Editor objects
Template objects are inserted into template components and they can include:
Drawing shapes | Basic geometric shapes like lines, arcs, polylines rectangles, circles and polygons. They only appear in graphical templates. |
Text objects | Static texts are headings or title line texts. Text objects can appear in both graphical templates and textual templates. |
Symbols | Symbols from product symbol libraries. |
Pictures | Files of different formats can be inserted into graphical templates. |
Imported files | AutoCAD and MicroStation files. |
Field objects |
Template field objects are graphical fields and value fields, which can be used to get data from the product. Value fields contain textual information that is referenced from the product database during template output. Data is retrieved by using value field formulas. A graphical field is a space that is left empty until the product draws what should appear in the field: a symbol, picture or text. Graphical fields can appear only in graphical templates. Template Editor displays the area that is reserved for product graphics as a rectangle. The line color of the rectangle is copied from the default settings for rectangle objects. This outline does not appear in the final template. |
