Templates

The Home tab lists template projects: complete, working twins you can open, inspect and adapt. They are the fastest way to learn how a mechanism or a sequence is typically wired.

Using templates

1. Open the Home tab.
2. Browse by category, or use the tags to find a specific mechanism type.
3. Open a template, it loads as a new project you can edit freely. Your changes never modify the template itself.
4. Save it under your own name to keep working on it.

Some templates are free; others are marked as requiring a paid plan. See Plans & limits.

Learning from a template

A template is a worked example. The reading order that pays off:

1. Variables tab, find the "master" variables (usually a master clock or axis position).
2. Motion tab, see how cam profiles map that master to slave motions.
3. Objects tab, see which object properties the variables drive.
4. State Machines tab, if the template has sequence logic, this is where the steps live.

The Signal trace tool walks these dependency chains for you.

Adapting a template to your machine

Typically you keep the wiring and swap the visuals and numbers:

• Replace the placeholder models with your own CAD.
• Adjust mechanism dimensions (link lengths, path segments) to your machine's geometry.
• In Online mode, point the master variables at your PLC tags instead of the simulated clock.
