Generating Reports |
|
|
In the Structural Engineering Library, the term "report" refers to the results documents created by the program in either printed or PDF format.
For each of the ENERCALC modules, a report can be generated in different ways, depending on your intent.
The report creation buttons at the top of a module offer options for the common methods of generating a report from the currently loaded module for immediate review. See below:
In order from left to right, the bubbled icons do the following:
| • | Create a report preview, so you can review the report on-screen prior to printing |
| • | Create a report as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file |
| • | Create a report and send directly to the printer. |
It is important to understand that reports are actually created and saved when you click the [Save Only] or the [Save & Exit] buttons in the upper-right corner of all modules:
Clicking either of these buttons causes a full report for the current module to be created and saved into the Project File along with all of the input data for that module. This is how the printouts are prepared for instant viewing and batch printing in the Project Printing system.
EVALUATION MODE NOTE: Batch printing is not enabled in Evaluation mode, but it IS still possible to print reports individually. When the software is operating in Evaluation mode, the reports are stored in the Project File with a watermark noting that the user has created the report with an evaluation version. If you are a licensed user, you can remove this watermark two different ways...either:
| • | Reload the calculation and click [Save], or |
| • | Click File > Regenerate Reports > All from the main menu to regenerate all reports for the entire project. |
Either of these methods will regenerate the report without the watermark and save it for printing.
