NCreports

To begin, select from which Program Group you want to generate the report, and click NCreports icon.

It will start NCreports dialog box. Note, that this dialog is fully integrated with NX, it will be displayed in the same colors theme which you use with entire NX.
On the top tab of the dialog, you will see name of a Program Group which you have chosen to be used as a scope for report.

In Selection tab, you will find “camera” icon. You can click it to create part snapshot, which will be displayed at setup sheet. If you leave Crop Part Picture option checked-on, NCreports will crop part snapshot, removing all unnecessary background.

You can take up to four part snapshots which will be arranged in horizontal or vertical order. Furthermore, you can even select NX Drawing Sheets to be displayed here.

Immediately after taking a snapshot, you will see the result in Snapshot Preview tab. If the result is not good enough, you can use “camera” icon again, until you get acceptable effect.

Under Select Output tab, you can select which of the reports will be generated. If you select all of them, it will be generated to one pdf file. If you select only some of them, each report will be generated to separate pdf file. Soon, there will be also other type of reports available. If you need different types of report, don’t forget to let me know.
