Using the Manage templates
and Execute template
functions, you can create classes and features in various templates and then apply them specifically to projects or entire directories. This speeds up the classification of entire catalogs considerably.
The Execute template dialog has been extended with the Action dialog area:
-> Existing classification attributes are overwritten with template values. No creation of new classifications/attributes (similar to the previous option Overwrite existing classifications ).
-> If there is no entry, the respective value from the template is set, if there is an entry, it will be replaced by the new value.
Classification selected/defined in the template will be deleted (including values)
Details can be found on Section 5.12.6.1, “ Classification tab page: Manage and execute templates” in eCATALOG 3Dfindit.
