Auto Template

Added Auto Template Functionality

Feature Description

In actual equipment development and digital twin modeling, engineers often need to create components with highly similar appearances and functions in batches for the same equipment (such as sensors, cylinders, motor modules, slide tables, etc.). However, in the past, for every new component added, it was necessary to repeatedly manually set the appearance, naming, I/O connections, and behavioral logic. The process was tedious, time-consuming, and prone to errors, resulting in low modeling efficiency, inconsistent settings, and difficult project maintenance. Therefore, we are introducing the "Extract Template from Single Appearance Feature and Batch Apply" functionality. Users only need to create a standardized template once to quickly copy and apply it to multiple components with the same structure, automatically preserving behavioral logic, I/O settings, and naming rules, while retaining the flexibility for individual parameter adjustments. Whether it's ten or a hundred identical modules, there's no need to "rebuild one by one." Modeling time is drastically reduced, error rates are significantly lowered, and project consistency and maintainability are comprehensively enhanced. This feature is designed specifically for "highly repetitive, highly consistent" components and is a key tool for creating efficient and robust digital twins.

Operation Method

1. Create Template
Select an established node in Modeling mode, right-click on the node, and choose Extract to Template from the context menu. The system will automatically extract all appearance features, origin coordinates, link parameters, and behavior settings under that component.
Extract Template
2. Apply Template
Select the top-level node in the same component and click Auto Template. The system will scan all features with the same name in the component and completely apply the template content. Users can still fine-tune individual parameters.

Notes

  • This version only accepts Extracted Template nodes, and all child nodes under this node cannot exceed 1 Feature & Assembly (including empty nodes). It does not include multi-level link structure extraction. The structure needs to correspond to the correct appearance feature (assembly) and fit into the correct hierarchical structure, otherwise the template cannot be extracted.
