Export Template

You can export and save line work (figures) and points to a file that can then be inserted into different projects. An example of how this feature can be used is when you have a building that is common to several projects. Instead of computing a new building in each project, you can do it just once, save it to a file, then insert it into your other projects.

When you start the command you will see the template export toolbar.

There are four options available for selecting the line work and points.

Window All

This option lets you window the objects. All points and line work contained within the selection window will be accepted.

Window Points

This option lets you window objects, but only coordinate points will be selected all line work is ignored.

Single All

Use this option to manually select objects in the map view to export. You can select points or lines / arcs. If you select a line, the points that define the line will be exported as well.

Single Points

Use this option to select point one by one in the map screen.

Save Template

When you're done selecting your objects, you can save them to a file by pressing the Save button. Choose a location for your template, give the file a descriptive name and save it. Template files have a ".tpl" extension.
