Project Templates

Overview

A project template can contain all of the items that exist in a regular LINKPlanner project file, such as equipment templates, link formatting rules, sites, links and custom antennas. This means that when a new project is created from a template, all of these items already exist in the new file. This can be particularly useful when there are custom antennas that are required across multiple projects.

Saving a Project as a Template

Create the project in the normal manner and then click File, Save As.... The “Save As” dialog will appear. Change the ‘Save as type’ to ‘LINKPlanner Project Template’(see and choose the destination and file name for the template, Choosing the template file type).
