Pro/Report
In Drawing mode, you can use Pro/REPORT to create dynamic, customized reports with drawing views and graphics. Pro/REPORT also works with Pro/HARNESS-MFG,
Pro/PIPING, Pro/MFG, and Pro/DIAGRAM. By defining repeat regions, you can add model data to a report, which expands and shrinks as the model changes. You can also use the following techniques to manage the data that appears in a report:
· Add filters to eliminate specific types of data from appearing in reports, drawing tables, or layout tables.
· Search recursive or top-level assembly data for display.
· List duplicate occurrences of model data individually or as a group in a report, drawing table, or layout table.
· Directly link assembly component balloons to a customized BOM and automatically update them when you make assembly modifications.
You can generate several kinds of output using Pro/REPORT such as family tables, associative reports, and graphical wirelists. A common example of a report is a customized Bill of Materials (BOM), such as the one shown in the next figure.
Report with Assembly Views
In Report mode, you can display data in tabular form in reports just as it is in drawing tables. The system takes the data that it reports in the tables directly from a selected model and updates it when you change the model.
However, you cannot modify all model dimension values and geometry in Report mode—they are read-only.
The system gives report files the file extension .rep. Report Mode Menus Report mode menus are abbreviated versions of the Drawing mode menus. This mode provides all of the associative abilities that Drawing mode offers, except that you cannot modify the model. Refer to the appropriate chapters of
