### Shortcut Menus in the Report Window

If you right-click in the Report window, PC-DMIS displays a shortcut menu with menu items that affect how objects are displayed in the Report window. Certain menu items only appear if you right-click on specific underlying objects in the Report window. The various menu items you can access from the Report window's shortcut menu are discussed in the table below:

Option | Description
Edit Object... | This option allows you to modify the current object in the Report window from its default state.

- If you right-clicked on a label object in the Report window, the Label Properties dialog box appears, allowing you to modify that label.

- If you right-clicked on the TextReportObject (essentially any white space text at the end of your report or any non table-like reporting text), the Report dialog box appears allowing you to determine what gets included in your report.

Hint: Pressing SHIFT and right-clicking on any label object will display the Report dialog box.

For more information see "Changing the Report Window's Contents" in the "Reporting Measurement Results" chapter.

Edit Color Ball | This allows you to change certain properties of the color ball terminator at the end of a label's leader line. For more information see "Changing Label Line Color Ball Properties"
Hide Selected Labels | This option hides any selected labels used with the CadReportObject. Select the labels you want to hide and then right-click on one of the selected labels for this menu item to appear. You can select multiple labels at a time by dragging a box around the desired labels with the mouse or by holding down the CTRL key and clicking on the desired labels.
Show Hidden Labels | This option shows all hidden labels. Right-click on the CadReportObject for this menu item to appear.
Remove Object | This option removes a selected label object or section cut profile object that you added using the Add Object on Page sub-menu. You should not use the DELETE key when attempting to remove selected objects; doing so deletes selected commands in the Edit window instead.
Remove Object Modifications | This option returns the object you right-clicked on to its original state, removing any modifications you may have made using the Edit Object... menu item or made resizing or repositioning supported objects.
Change Template... | This option displays an Open dialog box, allowing you to change the template used to display and format the data from the underlying command. Only those templates specified to work with the command will appear in the dialog box. If you have multiple labels selected when you use this option (such as after using the Select Matching Labels menu item), PC-DMIS applies the label change to all the selected labels.
Select Matching Labels | This option appears when you right-click on a label. This option selects all labels on the current page that use the same label template as the label on which you clicked.
Duplicate Page | This option creates an identical page of the one on which you right-clicked immediately following the current page. You may find this helpful in organizing labels that can't fit on one page across multiple pages. Duplicated pages will show a red cross icon at the top left of the page.

Sample Cross Icon Indicating a Duplicated Page

You can remove a duplicated page by right-clicking on it and selecting Remove Duplicated Page.

Remove Duplicated page | This option only appears in the menu when you right-click on a previously duplicated page. Selecting it removes the duplicated page from the report.
Add Object on Page > Section Cut Profile | This option inserts a section cut profile of your part model into the report. Sample Section Cut Profile After selecting this option, use your mouse and drag a box in the Report window to insert the section cut profile. See the information in the "SectionCutObject" topic in the "Reporting Measurement Results" chapter for detailed information.

Using this method you can insert multiple cutaway views into your report.

Add Object on Page > Custom Label... | This menu item lets you insert a custom label object on the fly into the active report. This type of label insertion process is not tied in any way to the Rule Tree Editor. Select this menu item and then drag a box in the Report window. An Open dialog box appears, allowing you to insert a selected label template on the fly into the current page of the report.
Remove CAD Report Object Pan/Zoom/Rotate MOD | This menu item lets you remove just pan, zoom, and rotate modifications for the CadReportObject. Other mods (such as section cuts, various label definitions, solid or wire displays and so forth) are not affected.
Select Labels... | This menu item allows you to easily select multiple labels across different sections in your report. When you select this item, PC-DMIS displays the Select Labels dialog box. This dialog box displays the labels in your report that are tied to a CadReportObject. Select any labels from this dialog and when you click OK on the dialog box, PC-DMIS selects the corresponding labels in the report.

You can limit the labels displayed in the dialog box by feature type, dimension type, or by all commands.

For more information see "Changing the Report Window's Contents" in the "Reporting Measurement Results" chapter.

Wireframe | This menu item toggles the display of the selected CadReportObject by displaying the model as either a wire frame or a solid. This menu item only appears if you right-click on a CadReportObject in your report.
Modify Rules... | This menu item brings up a simplified version of the Rule Tree Editor dialog box. You can use the Disable or Enable options on this dialog to turn rules on or off.
Show Previously Unused Labels | This menu item works with labels on a CadReportObject in a duplicated page. If you turn off a set of labels on the CadReportObject on one page and then duplicate that page, you can use this menu item on the duplicated page to get it to show the labels not used on the original page.
Fix Label Positions | This menu item creates a position modification for each label, so that the next time you open the report, PC-DMIS won't recalculate label positions.
