Properties determine things such as the size, color, font and output options of a template, component or object. You can modify properties through specific property dialog boxes.

Both graphical and textual templates require page and margin settings. The units used in the dimensions of a template are based on the template type. Graphical templates use graphical units (Metric or Imperial) and textual templates use character units.

For a graphical template meant to be a map legend or label, these settings specify the total width and height of it.

To set and modify the template page settings and margin settings:

  1. Double-click the template to open the Template Page Properties dialog box.
  2. In the Output, Workarea and Margins areas, modify the following:
    • Width and Height: set in graphical units or characters.

    • View height: sets the page height for template design, but does not affect template output.

    • Margins: sets the margins for the left, right and bottom of the template in graphical units or characters.

  3. Click OK to save the changes.

You can also add notes about the template and assign free attributes to it.
