#### Custom Object Icon

The Custom Object icon lets you insert the following objects into a custom report. Each object has it's own shortcut menu. After adding the object, right-click to access that shortcut menu.

| CAD - Inserts a CAD object into the report. This special report object displays the part's data in a format comprised of the part's image and labels containing chart data. GAC - Inserts a Graphical Analysis object into the report. See "Graphic Controls" for information on this type of object.

Chart - Inserts a Chart object into the report. This special report object displays the part's data in a chart format.

Text - Inserts a Text object into the report. This special report object displays the part's data in a textual format.

TextBox - Inserts a text box into the report. You can use this text box to send text strings to your reports. The user can also type into this text box to edit the string.

Image - Inserts an image container into the report. Once inserted, a dialog box appears for you to load the desired image.

Grid - Inserts a customizable grid of columns and rows into the report. When you drag the object onto the report, a dialog box appears for you to define the number of rows and columns. This unique control is more than just a standard table though. In fact, you can program the individual cells, rows, or columns using expressions to display specific information from your database. See "GridControl" for more information.

Textblock - This control sizes the text to fit its constraints, unlike the TextBox control which is either cut off or wraps when a line of text comes to the boundary. This control lets you display either text or expressions. See "Expressions".

ColorBar - This inserts a color bar control into the report. This visual map corresponds to the color-coded tolerance zones used when visualizing features, feature_variables, and so on inside Datapage+. By default, Datapage+ uses a single tolerance zone (green), bounded by negative (red) and positive (blue) out of tolerance zones. But the number of tolerance zones and the colors used for them can be modified inside Datapage+. As this occurs this color map as used on the reports will change to match.

Rectangle - This inserts a rectangle object into the report. You can set the line width and color of the border from the resulting dialog box.

Line - This inserts a line object into the report. You can set the line width and color from the resulting dialog box.

Ellipse - This inserts an ellipse into the report. You can set the line width and color from the resulting dialog box.
