■ Change Report Fields: Changes what data fields are reported and the order
in which they appear. You can also change the justification of any column
and even the column label. The Description field is handled a little
differently than the other fields. This field can be a multi-line field which
is actually made up of multiple fields. If you include the Description field
in your report, choose which lines make up this field. Switch on and off
the specific fields to define the Description.
■ Put on Drawing: Opens the Table Generation Setup dialog box for
specifying how to display your report as a table on your drawing.
■ Sort Fields: Controls the sorting order of the fields in the report.
NOTE The options are saved in the format file after you click OK in the dialog
boxes. If you are working in an unnamed format file, you must save the data after
you select Done to keep the changes.
Format File
Format files define specific criteria applied to the report before generating the
report to screen, printer, file, or automatic generation. The format files are
saved to the 'Documents and Settings\{user name}' subdirectory or 'Users\{user
name}' on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation.
■ Open Format File: Selects format files to edit. The Report Format Settings
File Selection dialog box opens and displays a list of format files (.set) in
the user subdirectory. Select a file to edit from the list and click OK.
■ Save Format File: Saves a format file on the hard disk for later retrieval and
usage when generating reports.
■ Save As Format File: Saves a format file that you opened and modified with
a different name.
