Hey guys. Tried searching on here and in the designer, but no luck. Is there any way to set up a custom project template that you can choose from Template list? We are in process of making several HMI’s and it would save a lot of time.

Thanks

So as of right now, there isn’t a way to add to the list of prebuilt project templates, but you can workaround it by creating an export of your skeleton project, and using that to import it and essentially copy your template as many times as needed.
