Load Template

 

Where Are The Templates?

 

When FlowBreeze first runs, it will create a My Flowcharts folder in My Documents and place the built-in templates in a Templates sub-folder.

 

Loading Templates

 

Via the toolbar: Click the Load Template button to launch the Select Template dialog (below).
Via the Start Flowcharting dialog: Under the Drawing Area section, choose the Load a Template option. A Template File field will be displayed along with Select Template button.

 

select-template

 

After selecting the template file, the window below is show. The Line Style sets the color of the template border lines. Please note that the line color setting only affects templates created using shapes and lines. See Template Generator for details.

Naming Convention

 

The built-in templates pack a lot of information into the names. the syntax is:

page size - orientation - number of lanes - lane direction - "lane flowchart"

 

Paper size: The Template Generator supports 8.5x11, 11x17, A3, and A4. You can manually create other paper sizes.
Orientation: P = portrait and L = landscape.
Number of lanes: Number of swim lanes.
Lane direction: V = vertical (top to bottom) and H = horizontal (left to right).

 

Example: 8.5x11-P-2-H-Lane-Flowchart would be read 8-1/2 x 11 Portrait 2 Horizontal Swim Lane Flowchart.
