Creating templates
You can store your own templates to be used for creating part programs and workpieces.
These templates provide the basic framework for further editing.
You can use them for any part programs or workpieces you have created.
Storage location for templates
The templates used to create part programs or workpieces are stored in the following
directories:
HMI Data/Templates/Manufacturer/Part programs or Workpieces
HMI Data/Templates/User/Part programs or Workpieces
Procedure

Searching directories and files
You have the possibility of searching in the Program Manager for certain directories and files.
Note
Search with place holders
The following place holders simplify the search:
● "*": Replaces any character string
● "?": Replaces any character
If you use place holders, only directories and files are found that correspond exactly to the
search pattern.
Without place holders, directories and files are found that contain the search pattern at an
arbitrary position.
