Tubular Member Parts
Select the tubular member part to which you want to add the template. You can select the part in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer.

Base Control Line
Currently, this step is not supported. It overrides the automatically generated base control line and starts Sketch2D so that you can draw the base control line. The base control line controls the position on the 3D tube template where the tube is opened to unfold. The tube opens at the opposite position to the base control line and the 2D tube template output is generated by unfolding the 3D tube template.
Finish
Displays a dialog asking if you want to accept or reject the changes. If you click Accept, the software displays a preview of the template set. This action creates the template using the parameters that you have defined.
Cancel
Clears the selection.
Accept
Accepts the selection.
Process List
Select a template process from the list. A process is a rule-based geometrical definition of a template based on particular manufacturing information. For example, template spacing is a process.
