You can move data up or down in the report, add lines from a catalog,
and delete lines.
■ Put on Drawing: Opens the Table Generation Setup dialog box for
specifying how to display your report as a table on your drawing.
■ Save to File: Saves the report to a file. Select the type of output file
from the Save Report to File dialog box. You can define multiple file
outputs. Choose from: ASCII report, Comma Delimited, Excel
spreadsheet, Access database, and XML format.
■ User Post: Switch specific functions against the data in the report.
When you select a switch, the LISP routine runs a function against the
data and returns to the Report Generator Window.
■ Change Report Format: Changes what data fields are reported and
the order in which they appear. You can change the justification of
any column and the column label. The Description field can be multi-
lined. If you include the Description field in your report, you choose
which lines make up this field. Switch on and off the specific fields to
define the Description.
9 Once all modifications have been made to the report, save the
report, place the report on the drawing as a table, or print the
report.
