Transferring a plot layout template between computers

Post by fgswdlake »

I've been working on a standardized plot layout template for my employer on my computer.

However, I've been unable to transfer the plot layout template from my computer to other computers in our network by copying and pasting the plot layout template from the template folder onto our server, then copying to the new computers template folder, and opening with "edit template". When I open the file on a different computer it appears to be missing information.

Any simple way to transfer a plot layout template between computers?

Thanks!

Your problem is a little odd as this is the way we send out our standard templates.

Things to check would be:
- Path for the Templates is correct (Settings|Drawing Items - "Plot Layouts Path") if you have more than one Irricad folder
- If the missing information is an image (V10.5 only) then make sure the image is embedded in the original template and not linked
- Fonts may be different between different computers

Please indicate which items are missing. Remember sometimes the fill can be on top when editing a template. You can temporarily turn off the fills (Settings|Drawing Items- "Display" Fills) to see what is there.
