Templates are specialized parametric shape generators created by Wizard.

Many of the templates have additional Properties that can be edited which can change the shape, curves and corners of the design as well as a wide assortment of Parameters.

The Template Library displays the different templates that are available for use.

The Parameters are set of specified variable characteristics related to the selected object that can be modified through the accompanying fields in the Design Editor.

For example, the Chamfer is the symmetrical angled surface at the corner of the Template.

In the Design Editor, the Template Parameter Map displays a diagram describing each parameter field for the current Template.

Draw Alignment Lines

Draw Alignment Lines

The Line tool in Trace will draw a Two-Point Line. 

The Line is defined by two points: Initial Position (called an Anchor) and the Terminating Position (called an Anchor).

After it is drawn, a third point in the Center will be displayed, which can be moved to alter the line into an Arc.

You can see how much we changed the design when you compare it to what we started with. You can alter the design greatly by changing the number of sides of the Star template or even selecting a different template to mirror in each of the corners.
