DrawingTools Templates

[an.fedorov]

Hello,

Sometime working with drawing objects within ninjascript we have to use an object template as a draw function parameter.
So far if the template does not exist, there will be some default object style.

Is there any way to create a template not manually but from ninjascript in case the template does not exist ?
Technically I coul do it through creating raw XML file myself and put it into a correct folder. But I thought there should be some ninjascript fucntionality to work with templates ?
I couldn't find anything like this in the documentation.

please advise

thanks

Andrei

Hello Andrei,

Thank you for your post.

Programmatically accessing and modifying the XML template files is not documented in the help guide and therefore it is not supported. You could attempt to do so at your own risk and results may vary. Currently, the only supported way to create a drawing object template is to manually configure it and then reference the manually created template in the parameters when drawing the object programmatically.
