Property Value

Type: AFPorts
Collection of AFPort objects representing the possible connection ports for elements created from this template.

Remarks

The template defines the possible connection ports for elements created from this template. The template only returns the ports the it actually defines. An element created from this template will get the ports defined by this template plus any ports defined by the template's base templates. If this template defines a port with the same name as one defined by a base template, then the current port definition overrides the port defined by the base template.
