Using the new template

I'm trying to set up the new template supplied by GS. I see how I can transfer layers and layer combinations to the new template. However, it looks like the transfered layer combos do not retain their settings of layer on and off, only the names are transferred.

Also, how can I transfer the display options to the new template. I do not want to spend a bunch of time setting everything up again. It seems like it all should be able to be transferred to the new template, otherwise, nobody is going to use it.

So, forgive my newbie questions, what is the easiest way to import these settings?

Thanks,

If you look at Options -> Attribute Manager, you can use this dialog to import settings from one file to another. The settings that can be transferred are:
  • Layers
  • Layer Combinations
  • Line types
  • Composites
  • Fills
  • Zone Categories
  • Materials
  • Locations
