Reporting Issues (Sectioning off reported features)

jay vq

I am in the process of customizing the CAD- only landscape style report for a measurement routine as this format suits our needs the best. Within each page, I can zoom in/out on the CAD model that allow me to display a specific area of the part where I would like specific features to be displayed. Let's say I have 200 holes, slots, surface points, etc. that are measured, but I only want to report certain feature groupings that are close to each other on the scanned part.

For example, page 1 displays features 1-15 which are from the top left of the scanned part, this is okay. Page 2 displays features 16-30 but I need page 2 to only display features 16-20 because those 5 features are in close proximity with each other at the top right of the scanned part. Page 3 should only display features 21-30 for the same reason. However, in my report I am finding it difficult to customize each individual report page with the feature labels I require. 

Is there something I can write within the program or do within the report that would allow me to section off which exact features I want to report on a specific page?

I want to add that I have all features, within the program, in the order I would like them to be reported, I just don't know how to section them off for the report.

I was told the formfeed/ command would allow me to section the features off by page as well, however it did not work.

I have also tried to increase the label count per page, in the report itself, to 20 and then duplicate the page to section off the features I want to group together but this hasn't worked properly because certain features will still fail to be reported on the pages I need.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback! 

Thank you for your support!

    Formfeed should work here, unless I am understanding incorrectly. What exactly is formfeed doing if it is not sectioning them off for you?

    It didn't seem like it did anything. I even tried redrawing the report as well as saving then closing and reopening but it never seemed to work.

    I will say I am very new to programming with PC-DMIS so it could be that I am not understanding or missing something entirely.

    I have attached a section of the program. I had initially inserted the formfeed/ command between the two comments separating the previous and post group of features. I am aware that those comments do not appear on the report, but it was more for organization and clarity to place the formfeed command between them. 

    Example:

    $$ NO,     END OF PAGE #...

    FORMFEED/

    $$ NO,   START OF PAGE#...

    I don't see any formfeed commands in your example here, are they further up or down?

    I apologize, I mistook that image for the recent screenshot I took. Below is the one with the formfeed commands as well as what the report page looks like.
