If your product does not use presentations, you can skip the following instructions.
A presentation file defines a set of pens that you can use when drawing. The presentation uses a color map file that defines a set of product-specific colors. You can use a presentation in Template Editor only if your product uses them. The pens and colors of the presentation file replace the Template Editor color, line type and line width. This means you specify the color, line type and line width for a Template Editor part that has these properties by selecting a pen.
Presentation files are created and modified with Presentation Editor (PresEd).
Do the following to define the default presentation file location in Template Editor
- Click and click the File Locations preferences tab.
- Click in the Presentation line and then click Select File.
- Select the presentation file to use and click OK.
- Click in the Color Map line and then Select File.
- Select the color map file to use and click OK.
- Click OK to apply the changes and close the Preferences dialog box.
The pens of the presentation appear in the template object property dialog boxes and can customize the colors in the Template EditorWorkarea.
