project template distribution

[CyGa]

Hi,
I made a project template that I want to use for all my projects. It includes controls, VIs and a specific archtiecture in the project view (autopopulating folders, etc...).
Is it possible to create a project template such as a VI template ?
If not, is there a way to use an installer to copy all files in a specific folder, rename a part of VI and control names, and have the project running ?

Hi zyl7,

If i well understand what you want to do, you would like to create a project template and to use it for several projects. The best way for you to do that is to create your project and save it in a folder as your template project. When you will need to use this to implement a project you will just have to open it rename it and build your project.

This way is the same thing as if you had a project template.

There is another discussion in the forum that could interest you, here is the link:

Thnks for the answer.
I was more looking at a tool permitting me to choose where to install a new project and renames all VI's included in the project template according to its name... Indeed the name of the project is included in all VIs and it's quite long to rename them one by one...  Moreover, the .lvproj file is an XML file so I was wondering if a tool which rewrite the lvproj according to VIs names was existing...
