Applying a View Template

When you apply a view template to a view, the view template properties affect the view immediately. However, later changes to the view template do not affect the view.

To create a link between the template and the view so that later changes to the view template are automatically applied to linked views, assign the view template to the view.

1. In the Project Browser, select the view or views to which you want to apply a view template.
   Note: Use the CTRL key to select multiple views in the Project Browser.
2. Click View tabGraphics panelView Templates drop-downApply Template Properties to Current View, or right-click and select Apply View Template.
3. In the Apply View Template dialog, under View Templates, use the Discipline filter and the View type filter to limit the list of view templates.
4. In the Names list, select the view template to apply.

   You can use the view properties of another project view as a view template. To do this, select Show Views and select the view name in the list.

5. Click OK.

The properties of the view template are applied to the selected views. Notice that this action does not change the value of the View Template property for each view on the Properties palette.
