Two problems using this report:
1.0 - Setting the report to NOT use text mode (right click/use text mode for dimension CHECK BOX UNMARK) I get the report with the fancy header, columns, check marks for OK KO) I get the full report. PERFECT.
1.2 – Setting to print in /.rtf format (File/print windows setup/…) I get the report without the header and footer, just the body is shown.
2.0 - Setting the report to USE text mode (right click/use text mode for dimension CHECK BOX MARK) I get the report without the columns, check marks for ok ko, etc.
2.1 -Setting to print in /rtf format (File/print windows setup/…) I get the report and all the data from feature ID to out of tolerance values IT IS EDITABLE.
Questions:
1 - Anyone know how to solve the problem mentioned in 1.2.?
2 - Is there any way to set this report to NOT use text mode CHECK BOX UNMARK (so I can get the fancy columns, check mark for OK KO, etc.) and set to print in .rtf format so I can EDIT the data, delete unnecessary dimension lines, etc.etc.etc?.
For example when ask for true position you must select at least one axis and the output on the report is the axis, diameter and finally true position. But I only need drawing ballooned true position to be on the report, that why I would like to have the fancy PPAP report to be EDITABLE.
I suggest creating your own PAPP template in MS excel (or similar) and use scripting to export/import with CSV files. Or something similar. The reporting section of PCDMIS is out of date, cumbersome, and can be rather buggy. Don't expect it to get updated any time soon, either. Datapage seems to be Hexagon's answer (i.e. - give them more $$ and they'll give you a solution).
I'm sure not the answer you were hoping for. Use scripts and some other software (MS Excel is my recommendation) to manage your data and create professional, attractive, EDITABLE and customizable reports.
If you are unfamiliar with scripting there are some examples in the code section on this forum, some of them pretty much copy/paste ready.
