Hello aligator,

Thanks for your post.

From the NT8 Helpguide:

Drawing Object properties can be saved as a template, allowing you to quickly apply those settings to a new Drawing Object of the same type in the future.

What is Saved
The following properties are saved in the General section:

• Auto scale
• Color
• Dash Style
• Width

Attach to will default to the Data Series on which the object is drawn. Tag will be automatically updated for each new drawing object. Locked will default to False. Visible will default to True. Properties within the Data section will NOT be saved.

Saving Drawing Object Templates
To save Drawing Object settings as default:

1. Open the Drawing Object Properties window by either double left mouse clicking on the drawing object or right mouse clicking and selecting Properties.
2. Set desired parameters
3. Left mouse click on the template text located in the bottom right of the Properties dialog. Selecting save will open the Save window, in which you can enter a name for a new template or select an existing template to overwrite it.
4. Click the Save button when finished

If you wish to load a previously saved template, you can select the load option after left mouse clicking on the template text.
