Basing Objects on a Template

After you have created an object template, you can base other objects of the same type on that template, and they will inherit its settings.

When you set a property in an object template you can choose from any setting available in a normal object, plus a "don't inherit" setting. This setting tells the template to allow that particular property to be changeable in the objects that are based on it. Otherwise, the property in the object inherits its setting from the template.

Any properties in an object that are inherited from a template are locked and you can not change them. However, if you change a property in the template, all objects based on it are updated with the new value. You can tell when the value of a property is inherited, because that property or its descriptive label will be colored blue.
