Importing the template object files through the template manager does=20 work, and then the files are available to copy and rename to the project=20 directory via the 'add' function. However, it looks as though you need=20 to add each template file individually rather than globally add the=20 directory (with its hundreds of PIC choices). Since I'm only using a=20 handful of devices, this should work fine. Joe On 7/18/2012 9:20 AM, Tamas Rudnai wrote: > Have you tried to play with the Tools menu -> Templates?
