1) Affixes can be applied automatically when building templates. If this option were on then any template points placed on the right side of the ‘center’ would have either a Prefix or Suffix automatically added. Generally when constructing ‘generic’ components the Prefix and Suffix is either cleared or toggled off. When building a Template with components it is advantageous to set some sort of right and left affixes to help differentiate between the sides and assist in the development of unique template point names. (pg. 434)

2) In the new template creator, the ‘origin’ of the template can be reset during template construction. One of the functions of the Set Dynamic Origin button, at the bottom of the Dynamic Settings dialog box, is to redefine the origin from which the ‘Steps’ and point layouts are computed. (pg. 475)
