Templates

Not Available

This functionality is currently not available on IPSE GO. This section was written for a different IPSE product, only parts of this documentation may be applicable to IPSE GO.

If you frequently start with the same project configuration, you can use a project template (or for short template). A project template contains a full description of how to create a new project.

Templates versus Macros

Templates and macros are similar in the sense that both contain predefined information that you can use in order to create your projects faster. However, some basic differences between them exist:

  • You can use a template only when you create a new project, while you can load a macro at any time.

  • Templates define the full dataset structure, while macros are always adjusted to fit into an existing project structure.

  • IPSEpro templates are files with extensions “.ipt”, while macro files have extensions “.imf”.

Creating a Template

You create a project template from an existing project.

To create a new project template:

  1. Select File  Save As. PSE opens the explorer window.

  2. In the Save as type selection box choose IPSEpro project template.

  3. Enter the file name for saving the project template.

  4. Click on Save.

Using a Template

When you create a new project, IPSE offers you the option to create either a new empty project or to create a project using an existing project template. See section Creating a Project for more information.

Using Predefined Project Templates

Some model libraries contain predefined project templates that you can use for your projects. Check the documentation of the respective library for more information.
