	== Adding to the New Dialog ==		== Adding Templates to the New Dialog ==
			[[Template VI]]s can be added to the '''New Dialog''' and will appear under the '''From Template''' item in the tree. To do this:
			# Create a Template VI and save it to <code>[LabVIEW 20xx]\templates\[Your folder]\[Your Template].vit</code>.
			# Define what text you want <code>[Your Folder]</code> to appear as in the tree by adding a text file at: <code>[LabVIEW 20xx]\templates\[Your Folder].txt</code>
			# Add an Image to be displayed in the '''New Dialog''' when your template is selected.
			## One for each VIT file
			## Should be 250x250px in size
			## Named <code>[LabVIEW 20xx]\templates\[your folder]\[All Your VIT Files]*d.png</code>
			# Edit the [[Template VI]]s description. This is the text that will be displayed under the image in the '''New Dialog'''.
