Convert elements to element templates

You should create elements that are based on templates. If you created elements and attributes and did not originally base them on a template, you can later convert them to a template.

1. In the navigator, click Elements.

2. In the Elements browser, locate the element that you want to convert to a template.

3. Right-click the element and click Convert > Convert to Template.

   A template named ElementNameTemplate is created and displayed in the Template field on the General tab.

4. Optional. To rename the template, click Library in the navigator.

   1. In the Library browser, locate the new template in the Element Templates branch.

   2. Right-click the template and click Rename.

   3. Modify the default name as needed. The new name must be unique across all templates.
