Options dialog box (Assembly Reports)

Specifies the column content you want to show in the report. You can add or remove columns and control the order in which they appear.

Available properties

Specifies the properties—column data—that you want to show in your report. Each property you select appears as a column in the report. For example, if you are creating a parts list report, you may want to add these properties:

• Item Number—Displays the item numbers based upon the current settings for item number generation in the assembly document. Item number generation is controlled by:

  • The Use assembly generated item numbers check box (Assembly Reports dialog box)

  • The Maintain item numbers check box (Item Numbers page, QY CAD Options dialog box)

• Mass (Item)—Calculates the mass of a relatively unique element based on the density of the material, as defined in the Material Table.

• Mass (Quantity)—Calculates the sum of the mass of all similar elements.

If you are creating a report for a structural frame assembly, you also may want to add these properties:

• Miter Cut 1—Calculates the acute angle value of the first end of a frame, pipe, or tube, as it was created. Its value is always between 0 and 90 degrees.

• Miter Cut 2—Calculates the acute angle value of the second end of a frame, pipe, or tube, as it was created. Its value is always between 0 and 90 degrees.

If you are creating a report for an assembly containing adjustable (flexible) tubing and hoses, add this property:

• Tube Flat Length—Displays the flattened length of adjustable hoses or tubes when they are stretched along their path.

  Note:

  Tube flat length is equivalent to the tube cut length in the Bend Table dialog box in XpresRoute.
