Although you can create a completely new custom template, it is highly recommended that you modify the copy of a predefined template instead. It is a quicker method since you can reuse the elements that are already created, and easily remove the elements that you don't need. However DO NOT change a predefined template. If you want to customize a predefined template, first create a copy of this template with a different name, and then modify the newly created template file.
To create the copy of a predefined template for customization
- Open the desired predefined template from the modelLibriaries folder located in the installation directory of your modeling tool.
Clear the Standard/System Profile checkbox in the Project Properties dialog, since it is not recommended to change system files: - In the main menu, go to File > Project Properties.
- In the Project Properties dialog, select the Shared Packages tab.
Clear the Standard/System Profile check box.
In the main menu, select File > Save Project As, enter a new name for your template and click the Save button.
