Aligning a Group of Templates

[Phil Chudley]

Hi All

I am sure this has been asked before but I cannot find the answer by searching.

Basically if I have a group of templates, is there a way to "snap" the entire group to a peg or notch on another template?

I seem to recall it was something like Group and Link templates? Cannot seem to find such an option in the current version of Templot

Thanks and all the best
Phil

Hi Phil,

You need to link the group to the notch.

See this video, starting at 00:37 seconds in (don't drag the slider, it breaks the interactive pauses, click on the timeline):

It's about aligning a slip as a group of templates, but works the same with any group.

More explanation in this ancient page:

I need to get it properly re-written into the Companion, someone else asked about it recently, I think it was Gordon.

cheers,

Martin.
