Overview of format files
A Format File (.set file) can be used to pre-format a report for both
manually-run reports and automatic reports. When running automatic reports
more options within the .set file are used since user input is not required for
each report. (Automatic reports are covered in next section). You can create
as many format files as you want. If you are using updatable, intelligent tables,
a format file is the third item that makes a report table unique. If you want
to be able to insert multiple updatable tables for the same report with the
same scope you need to use different format files for each report. If you are
not inserting updatable tables, or the report or scope is different, then you do
not need to use different format files.
A format file defines which fields to include from the available fields, the field
order, justification, and column label. This information from the format file
is used for both manual and automatic reports. When running automatic
reports, the format file can also contain information for saving the report to
file(s) and/or putting the report on the drawing(s) as a report table. The Report
Format File Setup dialog box allows you to create or modify your format files.
You can enter in X-Y coordinates for the first section or click Pick to select a
location. If you are breaking your report table into sections and are allowing
multiple table sections per drawing, you can define the distance from one
table section to the next. The value entered here is the distance between the
end of one table section and the start of the next. For example, if you want 2
inches between table sections horizontally, enter a 2 as the X-Distance value.
A blank value is interpreted as zero.
NOTE
Your format file can be saved using any file name but is given a ".set" file
extension. The format files can be edited using any text file editor but it is not
recommended since the syntax for the files is somewhat complicated. It is
recommended that you use the Report Format File Setup dialog box to create or
modify your format files. If you are going to use Automatic Reports to create output
files click "Save Report to File".
