Overview

ProStructures allows you to easily re-use information by creating templates. For example, if multiple projects require the same settings or shapes, you can enter the data once and save it as a template that can be recalled and used any time it is needed. Use the Template Manager to manage your templates. This section contains information on how to use the Templates tool available on every ProStructures Dialog Box.

When working with ProStructures, you will see that it provides a variety of different dialogs, which are used to enter settings for the functions and commands. Many of these settings are repeated for construction tasks in different orders or are used in a slightly modified for (e.g., connection plates with holes for specific supports) – it would be useful to save these settings for later use. For this purpose, ProStructures offers you a template management function.

This Template Manager tool can be accessed from ProStructures dialogs :   (Template). Clicking this button calls up the Template management dialog box where you then can save or load the settings. Sometimes, the templates can also be accessed via the context menu of the right mouse key.

Note: Although this is always the same window, the saved entries depend on the type of dialog box from which you are using the template management dialog. The only items visible in Work Frames are saved work frames. The Plates tool correspondingly offers only connection plate specifications.
