KOMPAS-3D v23

A report is created for items of a model, drawing or fragment (see section Objects placed in the report).

You can create a report while in the model, and then select a graphic or text document for its placement.

While working in a graphic document you can create a report by the objects of this document or another document — a model, drawing or fragment. In both cases, the generated report will be placed in the current graphic document.

While in a text document, you can insert a report by the objects of the model or graphic document into it.
