Adding a Model Template to a Model Category Set

Model templates point to existing model files that, in addition to specifying a target and extensions, can contain multiple diagrams, display preferences, general and model options, etc.

In order to add a model template to a category, you must have a model file that contains all the appropriate parameters ready to point to.
  1. Right-click the category to which you want to add the template, and select New > Model Template .
  2. On the General tab, enter a template name and click the Select File tool to the right of the Model file field to browse to and select the model file to use as the template.
  3. [optional] On the Icon tab, click the Browse for icon tool to change the default template icon.

    In the following example, the Conceptual Data template is specified to create a Conceptual Data Model from an existing project.cdm model, and will inherit its pre-configured options, preferences, extensions, and objects:modeltemplatemcc
