Model Templates
Click Templates on the Model menu or click the Templates
button on the standard toolbar to open the Model Templates dialog box. Use this
dialog box to create and edit command list templates that can be reused throughout
the modeling process. These templates are then stored in the .model
file. For example, create a command list containing the CheckOperationConditions
command, the WaitForDisplayString
command, and a TransmitToAttr command
that can be utilized on various entities. By default, CheckOperationConditions
command is automatically added to each template.
Note: The Design Tool stores templates in the .model
file.
To create a model template:
- Click the Add button to create a model template. By default, the name OpTemplate_0
is provided as well as a CheckOperationConditions command.
- To change the name of the template, select it and type the new name in the
Name list.
- To create the template, click the Edit button to open the Command
List Edit dialog box.
- Create a command list using the command options and then click OK.
- The Model Templates dialog box opens and displays the command list in the
Commands box.
- Click OK.
To use an existing model template in your model:
- Open the Operation Edit dialog
box and click Import to open the Import
dialog box.
- Expand Template in the Command list directory tree and select
a template to use. If a green dot appears in front of the template name, it
is ready to use.
