Description Martin Scout CLA 2017-02-21 11:41:31 EST 
When using New... to create a new code template instead of overwriting the default code template for Files, there is no option to set this code template as default to use when generating a new class file. I want to use "#pragma use" instead of an include guard and created a new header template.

Upon selecting new Header File, there is a beautiful Template box,
but this template box(es, for both header as source files) is not available in the new class file screen:
Header Creation: https://i.stack.imgur.com/eDmNj.png
Class Creation: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ANguc.png

The fix would be to simply allow the user from changing both header and source templates from the class creation menu.

Additional Info:
