This task explains how to generate
a report listing values of selected properties. Before you do this, you need
to define the report format.
Examples from the Piping Design workbench are used here. Substitute the
appropriate resource or directory when working in another workbench. |
|
1. |
Click Tools - Report - Generate.
The Generate a Report dialog box displays.
|
|
2. |
Click the Open button and select
the report format you want to use (in this case Piping Parts List.xml). |
|
|
If you had defined a query in your
report format, check Objects From Predefined Query. |
|
|
If you select one or more objects
in the document, check the option Currently Selected Objects. |
|
|
Check All Objects in Document if
you want a report on all objects in your document. |
|
3. |
Click OK and the report
is generated. It shows values for all properties defined in your report
format for all objects in the document that have them. Where an object
does not have a property, the report displays asterisks.
|
|
4. |
Click Insert in Doc if
you want to display these values
in your document.
- To generate the report from a schematic and insert it in
a schematic, click on the Insert in Doc button and click
anywhere in your drawing.
- To generate the report from a 3-D document and
insert it in a drafting document, click the Insert in Doc
button and select the sheet or view in the specifications tree. (Do
not select a point in the sheet). When the XY Coord dialog box
displays, enter the location where you want to insert the report. The data
is placed at the location. It can be moved to another location by click
and drag.
|
|
5. |
Click Save As to save the report.
Specify a file name and location, and
select a type such as HTML. |
|
NOTE: If you have several instances of the same CATPart in your
document, and the query finds geometrical data that is embedded
in the reference CATPart (e.g. user parameters, geometric sets), the data
is reported only once in the report.
