To Generate Reports in OpenPlant Orthographics Manager

Background

OpenPlant Orthographics Manager allows user to generate Report lists in Microsoft Excel. User can Generate Reports for Pipe, Instrument, Support, Equipment, Nozzle, HVAC, Cable Tray, Beam and Tag lists. User should have Microsoft Office installed and needs to generate output to generate report as application will fetch data from output file. So no reports generation will be possible for View Arrangement Data files having no output files.

    4. Dimension and Annotation output - List the output path of the Dimension/Annotation drawing file(s) for the selected VAD file

    5. Reports List Drop Down



  4. Select a file in View Information file section and it will show Referenced Models used in View Arrangement Definition file and location of Output Hidden and Dimension and Annotation files

  5. Select a file in View Information file section for which report to be generated and select list of report from Reports drop down



  6. Press “Generate Report” button after selecting Report list type
