Editing Templates

If you have your own image file you want to use for the template, click the Add button to display a standard File Open dialog letting you navigate to the location of the file and open it.

The Build Method field must be edited manually and you must know the name of the Build Method to enter. To find a build method for enter here, you can click the Manage Scripts option to display the list of scripts which ship with the OpenPlant Support Engineering install.

The Parameters and Default Values fields display a small control listing the parameters (or default general values) for the component. These values can be added/removed from the control manually if desired.

To add a parameter, place the cursor at the end of the last parameter line and click the Enter button to create a new line. Manually enter the parameter information and click OK. To remove a parameter, select it in the control and click Delete.

Once you have finished making changes to a template, click Save from the main tool ribbon to save the changes. If you wish to discard the changes, click the Refresh icon before saving the changes.
