Page Setup
Use the Page Setup button to load page setup and set page size and margins.
These settings effect the page size used in Adobe PDF. The user can print a page on a larger or smaller printer page by using Fit Page settings in Adobe.
Indented Bill of Materials
RpReports will create a Bill or Materials ] by adding up sub-components contained in an Entity.
An indented BOM report contains entities placed directly in the model, and sub-components placed inside entities. A component or group which contains sub-components is called an assembly.
Only sub-components which contain attributes are used to create the Bill of Materials.
The cost of the assembly is automatically calculated by adding up the costs of the sub-components.
PDF Report
The report is listing of groups and components.
The user can format the report out and print the report directly from PDF .
