Formatting Reports
Each report type requires a configuration (.cfg) file to process the information
from the harness assembly and create a report. To create a configuration file
or modify an existing configuration file, use the Edit configuration file tool
on the Report Generator toolbar.
Sample .cfg files for each of the main report types are provided in the
Samples\Models\Cable & Harness\Report Generator directory where you installed
the Autodesk
®
Inventor
™
software. We recommend that you use these files
whenever possible to reduce input time and errors.
You can also create a new blank configuration file.
Use Sample Configuration Files
The easiest way to create a report is to use one of the sample configuration
files installed with the application. If the sample file does not meet your needs,
use the sample file as a base, modify, and organize the data to include the
information you need, and then save the file using a unique name.
All sample report types are set to print as comma-separated files. To view the
settings while reading the descriptions, select the required configuration file,
and then click each tab.
The following are sample files and their output:
