1. Edit the source of the .style file and add PTC ALD code

Use the Edit > Edit objectname Source > APP menu option in your stylesheet. This will open a Source Editor window in which you can type your code.

Please refer to Extending Stylesheets for further information on viewing and editing stylesheet source.

2. Associate an PTC ALD template (.3f file) with the .style file

Browse for a template in the Optional APP template to associate with stylesheet field in the Print/PDF tab of the Stylesheet Properties dialog box. You will need to set the Engine field to a value of APP to activate the file picker field.
