Working in the Printout Report
When the printout report is open, the report navigator is displayed on the left and the page view with the preview of the printout on the right.
In the navigator, the individual chapters of the report can be arranged in any way by using the drag-and-drop function. The following should be noted: If you drag a chapter to a symbol (the "folder" in the figure to the left), a point appears there and the chapter is added as a subchapter. If you drag it to a title ("text"), however, a line appears below that chapter. The item is then inserted after the chapter on the same level.
If you move multiple chapters, we recommend switching off the [Immediate Refresh].
Shortcut menu
The shortcut menu (see Figure 10.4) provides functions for adjusting the printout. As is common for Windows applications, a multiple selection is possible by using the [Ctrl] and [⇧] keys.
Remove from Printout Report
The selected chapter is deleted. If you want to reinsert it, use the selection (go to the menu and select Edit → Selection).
Start with New Page
The selected chapter starts on a new page. It is marked by a red pin in the navigator (such as the chapter Results - Summary in Figure 10.4).
Selection
You have access to the global selection that is described on the following pages. The selected chapter is preset.
Properties
Some general properties of the selected chapter can be modified.
In the dialog box, you can change the Title of the chapter and enter an Additional Explanation, which appears in the left margin of the report. The additional text can be displayed and hidden, like the info pictures of the chapter (e.g. drawings of cross-sections or loading).
Navigation in the printout report
To look at a particular section in the printout report, click the corresponding chapter in the navigator.
The Edit menu provides further navigation functions. You can also use the corresponding buttons in the report toolbar to access these functions.
