templates

Templates are objects that can be used for creating new workpieces,
part programs, subprograms, job lists, work offsets, etc. and can be
edited and customized to suit the task at hand.
With HMI Advanced, templates for job lists are stored in the file
system by default. Specific user templates must first be created in
template directories. This allows you to access them when creating
new objects. Templates can be designed in different languages and
named to allow easy language-specific access to them. If you create a
template with a wildcard in the name, the current workpiece name will
be inserted into the name when the template is activated.
There is no difference between creating templates and creating
workpieces, part programs, subprograms, job lists, work offsets, etc.
You can use the administration functions and naming conventions to
enter objects you want to use as templates in the template directory.
Templates can be created from the Services operating area directly in
the required directories.
Existing templates are offered for selection when you create new
objects.
_TEMPL_
If this string is assigned as part of the template name, it is replaced by
the workpiece name when the template is activated. The template is
not copied if the name exceeds 24 characters after replacement.
_XX
If the template name terminates in _XX (XX stands for the language
code, e.g., _GR for German), only the objects are offered from the
template directory where the current language matches the language
code in the template name. Templates for different languages can
therefore be stored together in the template directory.
1_1
If the template name starts with 1_1, the template is proposed for
standard configuration.
M_N
If the template name starts with M_N, the template is proposed for
M:N system configurations (netnames.ini is configured).
1_1 or M_N can be combined with _XX.
