Template model - NEW_MODEL_MASTER

A template model is a model that is used as the basis for all new models. This model is called:

NEW_MODEL_MASTER_25

If a template model exists, a copy of this model is created each time you create a model using File > New.

Your template model can store information, including:

• defaults for model-dependent options on the Options dialog, such as tolerance.
• standard-level settings and names.
• line styles.

Even standard geometry, such as symbols, can be included in this model.

To create a template model:

1. Make sure no-one else is using PowerShape and that you have system administrator privileges.
2. Create a model containing all the required settings.
3. Save the model with the name NEW_MODEL_MASTER_25 as follows:
   • Select File > Options > File > Model.
   • Deselect Always save and open from outside the database.
   • Click OK.
   • Save the model.
4. Delete all existing models with names of the form NEW_MODEL_<*>_25

   (where * is the number of the model).

   For example, NEW_MODEL_1_25.

   If Always save and open from outside the database is deselected and you have administration privileges, you can select File > Delete. Alternatively:

   1. Open the Command window.
   2. Type: admin delete model
   3. Type: NEW_MODEL_*_25

      (where * is the number of the model). For example, NEW_MODEL_1_22.

5. Select Always save and open from outside the database to start saving models outside the database again.

Tip: The template model can be edited as if it were any other model.
