Using project templates

A project template is a project you can select as a template when you create a new project. Consequently, the new project is an identical copy of the project template selected. You can save any project as a project template.

Project templates are in the office folder (\Std\ProjectTemplates) or in the default folder (\Etc\ProjectTemplates). If the original project is a country-specific project, Allplan saves the project templates in the appropriate country-specific folder, for example \Etc.eng or \Std.eng.

You can use ProjectPilot to delete or rename project templates in the office folder.

To save a project as a project template

• Start ProjectPilot and copy the project by dragging it to the Office\Project templates folder.
  

  • Open the File menu and click ProjectPilot.

    Or:

    Use Ctrl+R.

  Note: You cannot make any entries in Allplan while ProjectPilot is open.

  Or:

  Click New Project, Open Project... (How), open the shortcut menu of the project and click Copy to project templates.
