Using the Report File Type
You can create a new file dedicated to report information using the file type Report (.rpt).
Report mode menus are abbreviated versions of the Drawing mode menus. In a Report file, you can display data for an associated 3D model in table form just as it is in drawing mode. The system updates the information when you edit the model.
This mode provides all of the forward-associative abilities that Drawing mode offers. The only associative difference is that you cannot modify the model from a report file as you can from a drawing file.
