Project Templates:
Project templates are nothing more than a record of all the custom settings that you've created in an InspectionXpert project. Any changes that you make to the InspectionXpert "Options" window such as balloon size, shape, color, and many more, can be saved as a project template and used again in a new project. To learn more about the different kinds of templates that InspectionXpert uses, see How InspectionXpert uses Templates.
