Using Templates
Use templates to avoid repetitive project, single section or single beam content creation. Templates can contain any content, for example, typical material properties for a project, nationally determined parameters, unit settings, or a whole structure and associated data.
To save content as a template click on File | Save As Template from the Main Menu. There are two template collections, namely:
- My Templates
- Company Templates
The destinations of each of these collections can be changed on the Preferences form via Options | Preferences | General tab. There is no difference in the operation of these collections apart from the location.
To start a new project (or design section or design beam) based on a template, either click on the New drop down button | Create From Template from the Home screen,
or File | New | Create From Template from the main menu.
The file type for template files is .SBT.
