7.11.3. [Template] with basic information

	Note
	The "Template" element contains basic information and is mandatory.

It contains the following attributes:

name
Name is the unique identifier for this sketch view. In other words, there may not exist another one by the same name.
unitbase
Indicates the basic unit in which the sketch view is defined.

hide (set the attribute yourself if necessary)

With "hide=1" you can prevent the template from being displayed under PARTdataManager -> 2D derivation -> Combination views.

	Note
	This option may be interesting if you create dw files explicitly for other applications (e.g. PARTtemplateDesigner ) or application purposes (e.g. for the PDF data sheet function [PDF datasheet] ).

Example:

[Template]
name=datasheet
unitbase=mm
hide=0/1

Sectional view

You can also use cuts in 2D views.

To do this, declare the section plane, direction of the section (1/-1) and optionally a shift in the Template block.

Example:

[Template]
cutPlaneType=YZ
cutPlaneDirection=1
cutPlaneDistance=0.0

Under "order", enter the desired views to be displayed:

[ELEMENT_grid1]
type=grid
padding_x=10
padding_y=10
padding_unit=percent
columns=2
rows=1
order=back,left

Example: On the left side the top view on the sectional plane, on the right side a side view on the sectional plane. In the side view a dotdashed line is displayed to mark the plane, arrows show the direction of view.

	Note
The dw definition has priority before the manual definition. It is only possible to enable the cut for the whole drawing, it applies for all views.
