How to create a template from the Node view
- In the Library view, select the folder in which you want to store the template.
- If the library folder is locked, right-click and select Right to Modify.
- In the Node view, select the nodes for creating the template and group them. It is very important to group your cut-out character rig before storing it in the Library, so your files are organized.
- From the top menu, select Edit > Group > Group Selected Layers or press Ctrl + G (Windows/Linux) or ⌘ + G (Mac OS X). Make sure you have a composite under the connections before grouping, otherwise there will be numerous connections going outside the group.
- In the Node view, click on the group node's yellow button to open the Layer Properties window.
- In the Node view, select the group node and copy and paste it inside the template folder in the Library view or press Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V (Windows/Linux) or ⌘ + C and ⌘ + V (Mac OS X).
- In the Rename dialog box, give the new template a name and click OK.
