After you have selected the feature classes of the template, and specified the origin and orientation, you can set the template properties in the Template Manager.
Lists the features <feature class caption>_FID that are part of the template.
Lists the reference record that will be applied, when you instantiate the template. The list displays all available reference records.
Highlights a template feature in the map. Select the feature in feature list and click the Highlight icon.
In the Create Template dialog box: Removes a feature from the template, but not from the database. Select the feature in the list and click the Delete icon.
Groups template features. Select this option if you want to treat all template features as one group. When you instantiate the template and then move or rotate one of the features, the change applies to the whole group.
You cannot reset this property. If you want to ungroup template features, you must delete and redefine the template.
Defines which feature class shortcut menus provide the template. The default is the feature class from which you started the Create From Selection command. Optionally, you can make the template available from all feature classes that are part of the template.
Shows the connectivity between the template features. For example, in a transformer bank, a junction is connected to a conductor and the conductor is connected to the transformer.
Shows the relations between the template features. This is useful for related features that have no geometry and therefore cannot be shown in the drawing. For example, you can view which labels belong to which parent features.
