Sharing Patterns

Go Up to Exporting and Sharing Patterns

You can store patterns in the shared locations, to facilitate team development. The Pattern Organizer enables access to the shared patterns if the paths to these patterns are included in the list of Shared Pattern Roots. Being included in the list, patterns from the shared location become visible in the Custom Patterns node of the virtual pattern tree.

To create shared patterns

1. Export the desired patterns to a shared location.
2. In the Pattern Organizer, click Edit Shared Patterns Roots. The Shared Patterns Roots dialog box opens. You can edit the List of Shared Patterns Roots using the Add and Remove buttons.
3. Click Add. The Select Shared Pattern Tree dialog box opens.
4. Navigate to the folder containing the desired patterns, select the Shortcut Registry.xml file, and click Open. The path is added to the list of shared pattern roots.
5. Click OK when ready.
