The Edit Bar Pattern Templates dialog allows the engineer to add, change, and delete Bar Pattern Templates.

The top part of the dialog contains all the information relating to a single Bar Pattern Template. The first time this dialog is used in a new model, the list at the bottom will be empty. Fill in the information with the desired values for a Bar Pattern Template, and then click Add to create a new Bar Pattern Template. Note that Add will be disabled if the Label field is empty. If the Automatically Generate check box next to the label field is checked, the label will be automatically generated based on the dialog settings. There is no limit to the number of Bar Pattern Templates that can be created. However, all labels must be unique.

To change an existing template, select it from the list at the bottom. The current setting for the template will be filled into the dialog above. Make the desired changes then click the Change button to apply the new settings to the template. Changes to the template will be lost if a different template is selected before clicking the Change button. Dismissing the dialog with OK or Cancel prior to hitting the Change button, will also result in changes being lost. To delete the currently selected template, click the Delete button.

Clicking OK to close the dialog will save the templates while clicking Cancel will ignore any work done in the dialog since it opened.
