Create a child template reference when you need to establish parent-child relationships between two element templates.
-
In the Library browser, right-click the template to which you want to add the child template reference and click New > New Referenced Template.
-
In the Set Referenced Element Template Name window, type a name for the child template, and click OK.
This creates a child template in the Templates collection and a new reference type in the Reference Types collection.
-
Optional. To define a reference type other than strong parent-child, select the Edit reference type check box.
-
In the Reference Type Properties window, select the desired reference strength from the Reference Strength list.
-
Click Check In.
-
Click OK to close the window.
-
-
Complete the element template definition, as described in Create element templates.
