Design Templates : Adding Design Points to Template Elements
The design datasets for a template, as discussed in Design Datasets, approximate to the Geomset data for a catalogue component. In a similar way, design templates can also own Design Pointsets (DPSE), which approximate to the Pointset data for a catalogue component. These let the user assign p-points to design template items, to be used as references for subsequent positioning and orientating operations.
