MotionCAD Templates Help
This page provides help on MotionCAD Template Technology. Below is
the template manager dialog box, with this window the templates
installed on your MotionCoach are managed.
What is Template Technology?
Templates are nothing
more than pre-created MotionCAD analysis files. Although a simple idea, templates drastically reduce the amount time required to do lessons.
When teaching someone with any motion
analysis system, a great deal of time is spent setting up the analysis. With Templates Technology this is reduced to one button click.
How to
use?
It very simple to select a template, click here to
open the template selection
help page.
The templates are configured with information about where and
how big to place the video in the template. This way you only need
to worry about the lesson.
How do I open
the template manager?
To open the template manager, click on the menu
option Config/Templates. This will open the template manager window.
After you have made any changes to the Templates simply click on the OK
button. To exit but not save any of the changes,
click on the Close button in the top left of the dialog box.
Changes to the Template
configurations?
In the window
above you have a list of templates along the right side. When you
click on these these the configuration information of the
template is displayed in the data fields. All the data fields can be
changed except for the video files list.
This data field list of videos is
the list of video files that that is deleted when the template
is deleted. This field only contains data when the template has been
imported.
What is the Up/Down
buttons for
?
The up and
down buttons move the selected template up or down in the list. The order
of the list here is the same order in which the videos appear in the Quick
Selection drop down in the Gallery Window. This is how you manage which
templates will be available in the Quick Selection when you have more than
ten templates.
The picture
above, you see the word "MAX" written below a gray line. This is sized to
match with ten templates. If the template is above the MAX word your
template should appear in the quick selection list.
What is the Import button
for
?
The
Import button is for importing new templates that have been distributed by
other pros. The extension for template import files is "TPI". The
TPI file only contains information on the template and the files that make it up. So when
you receive a new set of templates is should be a group of files.
After the templates have been imported you can delete
the TPI and related files, MotionCoach makes copies of all the MotionCAD files and videos.
What
is the Delete button for?
The delete
button deletes the selected template. It will also delete any related
video files that are listed in
the videos data field.
What is the Open button
for?
The open
button will open the selected template in MotionCAD. Use this to change the template for
future usage. You would do this in the case that you want to add
something or change the line positions.
What is
the New button for?
The
New button is used to create a new MotionCAD template. When you click on
this button a MotionCAD file is not created, only an entry for a new template.
You must configure all the data fields before the template can be used.
The
"Template File" field is a little tricky because the path placed in there is
a relative path from the location of MotionCoach. The Template file should be in the
"Videos" sub-directory of where MotionCoach is installed of directly in the MotionCoach directory.
