Generating a Report

	This task explains how to generate a report listing values of selected properties. Before you do this you need to define the report format. Examples from the Piping Design workbench are used here. Substitute the appropriate resource or directory when working in another workbench.
	1.	Click `Tools - Report - Generate`. The `Generate Report` dialog box displays.
	2.	Click the `Open` button and select the report format you want to use, in this case `Piping Parts List.xml.`
	3.	If you had defined a query in your report format then check `Objects From Predefined Query`.
	4.	If you select one or more objects in the document then check the option `Currently Selected Objects`.
	5.	Check `All Objects in Document` if you want a report on all objects in your document.

	6.	Click `OK` and select a format, such as HTML, when you are prompted. The report will be generated. It shows values for all properties defined in your report format for all objects in the document that have them. Where an object does not have a property the report displays asterisks.
	7.	Click `Insert in Doc` if you want to display these values in your document. To generate the report from a schematic and insert it in a schematic, click on the `Insert in Doc` button and click anywhere in your drawing. To generate the report from a 3-D document and insert it in a drafting document, click on the `Insert in Doc` button and select the sheet or view in the specifications tree. Do not select a point in the sheet. The XY Coord dialog box will pop up - enter the location where you want to insert the report. The data will be placed at the location. It can be moved to another location later by click and drag.
	8.	Click `Save As` to save the report. Specify a file name and location.
	NOTE: If you have several instances of the same CATPart in your document, and the query finds geometrical data that is embedded in the reference CATPart (e.g. user parameters, geometric sets), then the data will be reported on only once in the report.
