Creating Deviation Reports

• You will define which information or images you want to insert in this deviation report. This is done in the Deviation Report dialog box.
• A node Deviation Check  is created in the specification tree. It is dedicated to  annotations and deviation reports. A CATPart can contain only one Deviation Check node.
• Once you have validated those date, a Deviation Report feature is created in the specification tree. It is associative with the deviation analysis and the annotations it is based upon. If you modify the deviation analysis or the annotations, the deviation report is updated accordingly. You can edit the Deviation Report feature at any time.
• You can now export the Deviation Report feature to a html file.

• For features inserted into the report (e.g. deviation analysis), only one image with the default point of view is created in the report.
• You cannot generate automatically several images of the same feature associatively with different points of view in the report.
• You can capture images in any point of view with the Tools > Images > Capture menu and insert these images in the report. For more information refer to Capturing and Managing Images for the Album in the Infrastructure User Guide.
• You can insert images created by other means.
• The only available format for the deviation report is html file.
• If a 3dxml image is exported into the report, you need a 3dxml player in a version compatible with the 3dxml level used to generate the image.

Capture some images and save them either in a directory or in an album.
