Selecting contents as described in the Printout Report Manager chapter involves a lot of 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 Template
To use a template for the current printout report, click the
button in the bottom left of the
Printout Report Manager
. The "Printout Report Templates" dialog box appears.
The "List" contains various templates for the printout. The preset printout report templates cannot be modified.
If you have created some user-defined templates (see the section Creating 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:
|
Create a new printout report template |
|
Copy the selected printout report template |
|
Define settings of the selected template as default for new printout reports |
|
Delete the selected user-defined printout report template |
