# Custom Templates - Add-On
### Have you ever wanted to customize new projects?
Custom Templates Add-On allows you to use your own .blend files as template options for new projects.

### Project Structure
- Addon files: /addon/*
- Release .zip files: /releases/<major_version_folder>/*
### Releases
##### v1.x
- Version 1.0.0: [custom_templates-1.0.0.zip](./releases//1.x.x/custom_templates-1.0.0.zip)
### Preferences
In the add-on preferences, you can manage the list of your custom template files.
You can add, remove and reorder templates.
Each template has it's Name, and Path to the .blend file.

*Note that, as of now, using wrong file paths will NOT show any warning and you will get an error while opening the template.*
*Be sure to use only valid .blend files as path.*
### How to use
You can always open the add-on preferences using the button `File > Defaults > Manage templates`.
Instead of using preferences, you can select a new template file using `File > Defaults > Select new custom template`, or, if you have a .blend file open, you can use `File > Defaults > Use current as new template`.
*This functions will open a popup where you can also set the Name for the new template*

*It may or may not work on previous version.*
