Hyperview Reporting (Need Help)

Thanks to everyone in advance for taking the time to read an help with this...

I am fairly new to PC DMIS and I have an upcoming project that will require the usage of the "Hyperview" Reporting format. What I need is for someone to lay out the basic procedure for putting this feature into a program. I come from a Metrologic and Polyworks background where you simply take report snapshots of the graphics display window and tell the software to print the specified pictures.

Essentially this is going to be a 40pg report with 2 - 5 annotation call outs per sheet. With that being said I am looking for the fastest way to have PC Dmis generate the report snapshots of the CAD file with the annotations and print it out.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    And when customer demand made them change their mind and re-instate HR creating/editing you're p****d about that?

    I see it as something positive, a "you talked, we listened" from Wilcox' side.

    Edit: Sorry for going off-topic.

    You start the Custom Report editor (File -> New -> Report -> Custom), put the Edit Window in Overview mode (the tree-structured one), and drag your dimensions from the EW to the report. Add a CAD Reporting Object and put your labels around that, maybe changing which label template is used, to make it look better. Add pages when you need more room. Rinse and repeat.

    Or, you could use the already made general report template CADONLY or CADONLY_LANDSCAPE as is, just adding views in the program, deciding how the CAD will be shown and what dimensions to show. All without having to edit the report at all. The report will follow the view changes in the program.
