Sets the definitions for a text template.
Unlike SYTMs, TXTMs have no members. Instead, they hold text strings (in their BTEX attributes) to which users can refer when creating GLABs to add to drawings. These text strings can include #‑coded intelligent text, which is replaced by the corresponding attribute settings from the Design DB when the labels display on the drawing sheets.
The existing text templates display in the Available Templates list.
Select a text template from the list to view and modify the template details. The properties display underneath the list. Modify the properties as required.
