DESCRIPTION:

This stand alone executable will convert an Element Template exported 
 XML file to an Excel Spreadsheet and vice/versa for the purposes of
 bulk editing Element Templates.
  
USAGE:

1. Export your current element templates to an XML file inside the Element Template dialog.
2. Run the provided executable and follow the prompts to select the Element Template XML file.  
3. This will create an Excel Spreadsheet.  
4. Make your changes to the Excel file and save the file when completed and exit Excel.
5. Run the executable a second time, this time selecting the Excel file to use to
    overwrite the original Element Template XML file.
6. Import the Element Template XML file to a DGN or DGNLib file to see the revised Element Templates.   
  
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:

- This will not support all Element Template properties.  For example, an Element Template for 
   Terrain Models is not going to bring in the vast amount of information required.  Thus, use this for your
   basic Element Templates.  Items like cells, cell scales, etc. (the basics) are all supported.  
   The tabs in the spreadsheet will clearly indicate what is and is not supported.
  
- This will NOT "Update" Elememt Templates.  If one with the same name already 
   exist, the new imported entry will be given a suffix of the number 1.  Thus, it is best practice to
   either delete the entries before import, or import to a new dgnlib file.
