Report and Table Preferences Tab

ProjectExplorer includes a Version Control System which tracks and records every report generated from the Object Sets tab in the ProjectExplorer window.

Report Version Control Options

A numerical Version Number and alphanumeric Revision Value is applied to every generated report. These values can optionally be included in the report file header. They can also be viewed from the View Output History window which is accessible from the View History button on the Object Sets tab of the ProjectExplorer window.

Revision Values are automatically incremented each time a report is generated from the Object Sets tab. However, there are several options available to determine when report version numbers should be incremented:

  • Each AutoCAD Session: The version number is incremented for the first report generated from each unique AutoCAD session. At all other times the report version number remains unchanged.
  • Each Day: The version number is incremented for the first report generated on each unique date. At all other times the report version number remains unchanged.
  • Each Week: The version number is incremented for the first report generated at the start of each new week. At all other times the report version number remains unchanged.
  • Each Month: The version number is incremented for the first report generated at the start of each new calendar month. At all other times the report version number remains unchanged.
  • Each Year: The version number is incremented for the first report generated at the start of each new calendar year. At all other times the report version number remains unchanged.
