Modeling Features › Save a Model as a Template

Save a Model as a Template

You can save any model as a template to save its settings and contents for quick reuse.

To save a model as a template

1. Click Save As on the File menu.

   The Save As dialog opens.

2. Select the template type (*.erwin_tmpl) from the Save as Type list, enter the template name in the File Name box, and click Save.

   The model is saved as a template and the dialog closes.

Note: Saving a model using the *.erwin_tmpl extension creates a model template. You can use this template to create models, but any changes you make to the template are not propagated to the models that use it. If you want to be able to synchronize changes in a model template with the models that use it, use the bind model template functionality.
