Change element templates

Exercise caution when you change an element template, since there can be unintended consequences. For example, attributes could be deleted if they were defined by the old template and are not present in the new template. Be sure that attributes with the same name in both the old and new template have the same data type.

You can change the template on which an existing element is based, or add a template to an element that is not currently based on a template.

1. In the navigator, click Elements.

2. In the Elements browser, right-click the element that you want to change and click Convert > Change Template.

3. In the Choose Element Template window, select a template from the Element Template list.

   • Optional. To display only templates in a specific category, select a category from the Templates of category list.

4. Click OK.
