Get Started with Template Tracker
Using Template Tracker, you can easily locate Layers, Text, Dimension, and Leader Styles within any drawing or template, making it effortless to modify and revise these integrated components throughout the existing file. This includes managing Layers in Civil 3D Styles, Text Styles within Dimension or Table Styles, Text Styles within Block definitions, and various other elements.
The Power of Template Tracker
In this section, we will acquaint you with Template Tracker and its importance in CAD projects. With Template Tracker, you can select objects based on layers, text styles, dimension styles, and multileader styles. Additionally, you can employ filters to narrow down the list in the layer section. This functionality proves highly valuable as it enables you to make specific changes to objects in an easy, clear, and efficient manner.
Automating Layer Swaps for Enhanced Productivity
Getting started on the path to excellent layer organization requires mastering the art of renaming layers. Achieving this skill is made easy with features like Swap, an integral part of Template Tracker. This tool collaborates seamlessly to improve clarity and establish consistency throughout your template.
Unleashing the Benefits of ‘Edit Style Layers’
