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:

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.
