It would be cumbersome to apply the template to a number of elements each individually. That's why the template can be applied to several elements at once:

BTN_AR1316. On the Model tab of the ribbon, click the btn_layout_templates Layout Templates button.
BTN_AR1317. Highlight the Graph Template Exercise on the list and click Apply To.
BTN_AR1318. Select All elements and click OK. The template is now applied to each element in the model.
