Hi,

I have a problem with a report that are printing out a models with object information according to the process flow.

The report prints out my process model and the assigned EPCs. The problem is that I want the report to print out the assigned EPCs in the order of the process flow. As for now the assigned models are printed out by a sorting I dont understand. Does any one know how to set up the report in the report wizard so that assigned models are printed out accoridning to the process flow?

The thing I want to know is if i in the report wizard specify For all: Selected Models.Object Definition.Assigned models, how can I sort this by the superior models x-coordinates? Can I change the selection to object occurrences to do this or by any attributes?

I think you are trying to use the Report Wizard and trying to get the topographical sorting (based on the object coordinates / location in the model).. As far as I know, report wizard does not facilitate topographical sorting.

Workaround I can think of:

  1. You have several out-of-box report scripts that offer topographical sorting option -- look into those report script code and copy the function doing this topographical sorting.
  2. Once you have your report created using the wizard (everything other than the topographical sorting), edit the report script code to add the function for topographical sorting & modify the code to call this topographical sorting function.

Volker has posted multiple nice articles around report scripts -- you may refer them as well on how this code editing could be done.

Hope this helps !

Hi there,

another workaround would be to start the name of the items you want to show in the table chronologically with a number, and then sort in the report the items by name.

you just need to make sure to use double digit numbering (01, 02,etc.) if you have more than 9 items. (or triple digits when you have more than 99)

it's teadious because everytime you add a new item in the model, you need to renumber the items.

regards,

Hi,

Thanks, I thought about that solution but this would make the objects not reusable so I guess I'll have to try and implement topographical sorting in the script.

Regards

Hi,

another workaround is to select "sort by geometry". This will sort by the distance between the upper left corner of the modelling area and the placed object occurence location.

Regards,

Markus
