The selection of contents described in chapter Printout Report Manager is associated with effort. Therefore, it is possible to save a compilation, including graphics, as a template and use it for other models. This allows you to efficiently create printout reports from templates. Some templates are set up during the installation.
Importing a template
To use a template for the current printout report, click on the
button at the bottom left of the
PrintoutReportManager
dialog box. The 'Printout Report Templates' dialog box appears.
The 'list' contains various templates for printing. The preset printout report templates cannot be modified.
If you have created some user-defined templates (see Creating a template), you can select one of these entries in the list and, if necessary, adjust the report items. Click OK to apply the settings of the template to the current printout report.
The buttons below the 'List' have the following functions:
|
Creates a new printout report template |
|
Copies selected printout report template |
|
Defines settings of selected template as default for new printout reports |
|
Deletes selected user-defined printout report template |
