As of Recast Software Version 5.1.2305.507, pre-built templates can be accessed from within Recast Builder, removing the need to import them from the Recast Builder Templates page. These templates appear upon upgrade or with a fresh install for deployments that do not already have existing Builder actions in place.
For a description of the actions included in each pre-built template, see Recast Builder Templates.
For more information on configuring properties, parameters, and conditions, see the Recast Builder Overview.
You'll find Starter Pack templates listed in the My Right Click Tools panel. Drag-and-drop the templates onto the Tool Creator area to view the sequence of included actions and edit their properties and parameters.
