Cross-referencing is based upon collecting and annotating groups of
components that carry the same TAG text string value (such as "101CR").
Components do not have to be of the same family to be cross-referenced; they
must have the same TAG1/TAG2/TAG_*/TAG attribute values.
Cross-reference data is annotated on to attributes "XREFNO" and "XREFNC"
for N.O and N.C. references respectively. Alternately, if attribute XREF is
present, both N.O. and N.C. references are combined into a single
cross-reference text string.
Specifies to run the report on selected components,
the current drawing, or the entire project.
