Creating a Text Template

	This task shows you how to create a text template document.
	Text templates allow you to create text associated to object attributes, based on styles that you create; and store them as templates for placing in a document as needed. This is particularly useful for components or objects that are used frequently. Text templates can be used in three ways: You can store them in a catalog, retrieving them from the catalog whenever you need to. See Creating a Text Template Catalog and Placing a Text Template. You can create a text template in a sheet and add it to placed components or objects. See Placing a Text Template. You can add a text template to a reference component when you are building it, and store it as part of the component. See Adding a Template to a Reference Component. Before you create text templates you must enable the correct settings. Click `Tools - Options - General - Parameters and Measure` and click on the `Language` tab. Under Language check `Load extended language libraries`. Either check `All Packages`, or uncheck this option and load the Knowledgeware packages you will be using. In this scenario, you will create a text template to be used when placing a vessel.
	1.	Open a new diagrams or Drafting document.
	2.	Click the Text button and, in the Text Editor dialog box that opens, enter the text, "Vessel ID". The text will also display in the template.
	You will need to set the anchor point for your text. This will place the text in relation to the object you are annotating. Click the Anchor point icon and choose the alignment position for your text. Note: A common convention is to display annotation below a component and above a route .
	3.	Right click on the text frame and select the Insert Link Template option from the drop down menu. The Insert Link Template dialog box opens.
	4.	In the Insert Link Template box, define the template you are creating by selecting the Dictionary, Type and Attribute from the lists displayed by clicking the down arrows. Click the Insert button and your selections will display in the Text Editor dialog box, as well as in the template.
	5.	If you want to add more information, press Enter in the Text Editor window to create a new line. Repeat the process above to add attributes. Click the `Insert` button for each attribute that you add.
	6.	Close the Create Text Template box and click `OK` in the Text Editor. To add the template to a catalog you must save it. You do not have to save it if you only want to use it to add templates to placed components in the same session and will not need it later.
