This tool allows you to run multiple reports at one time. This can be used to
generate any number of output files or to automatically place report tables
on drawings.
Access:
Click the arrow on the Schematic Reports tool to access the Automatic Report
Selection tool.
From the Projects menu, select Reports ➤ Automatic Report Selection.
NOTE All drawings are automatically added to the bottom of the Project Listing.
Report Name
Displays a list of all schematic and panel reports available for automatic report
generation . Not every AutoCAD Electrical report is available for this command.
Format File Name
Displays a list of format files. These format files are associated with a particular
report name. If there aren't any format files to select from, you must click the
Format File Setup button to create and save a format file.
The Browse button allows you to search for a specific format file that is not
displayed in the list.
Control buttons
■ Modify Output: Changes the output types for individually selected reports.
Each format file definition can determine whether the report is set to a
file or table on the drawing, or both. Select a file in the Selected Reports
list, click the Modify Output button, and click either of the toggle buttons
to turn on or off the output type.
■ Add: Adds the report name and format file to the Selected Reports list. This
button is not active until both a report name and format file are selected.
■ Remove: Removes individual reports from the Selected Reports list. Select
the file from the list so that it is highlighted and press the Remove button.
■ Remove All: Removes all of the reports from the Selected Reports list. There
is no need to select the files in the list; simply press the Remove All button.
