Template folders[edit]

This was PM's explanation of the purposes of the various template folders, but in practice, I'm not sure if this is accurate, or that I understood it correctly.

  • Shared - Server files shared with team.
  • Global - User-defined custom templates.
  • Templates - Reserved for the default set of templates shipped with SBP.

Editing templates[edit]

Drag a template into a Layer in a Panel. Any edits made in that Layer will update the template in the Library, and any uses of it in the project.

If the goal is to edit a copy of the template artwork without affecting the original template, it's necessary to select the template artwork with the Select Tool, copy it, and paste it into a new layer. Then this copy of the artwork can be safely edited. (Even after applying Convert to Drawing, subsequent edits to the artwork seem to affect the original template.)

Converting templates to drawings[edit]

Use case: A template is added to a panel from the Library. Subsequently, the design of the objects in the template needs to be edited.

Layer > Convert to Drawing.
