So let's have a look now at generating a Panel Report now we've added some balloons now we've added a terminal strip and so on. First thing we do, right click on our project, add the active drawing, Yes to the Project Default Values. Yes to the Terminal Associations also. So there's our Panels Report Drawing. Right click on it, Properties, Drawing Properties. Again, make sure that it's 07 for the Sheet Value so that it's sequential in the project itself. Now, what we're going to do here is go to our Reports Tab in the Ribbon and there's our Panel and our Reports there. So this generates Panel Reports such as Bill and Materials, Component Lists and Nameplates. Now, if I click here on Reports, I don't actually have any nameplates in this particular drawing but I can do a Bill of Materials and I do have nameplates in the project itself. See Drawing 02 there, Icon Menu and Nameplates? So what we're going to do, we're going to do a Panel Report for Nameplates for the entire project. Installation Codes, Location Codes we'll leave that set to All and we'll go to Format there. There aren't any previous formats so I'll Cancel that and I'll OK that now. There's all the drawings in the project so I do All. Just like we did previously and I'll OK that. We'll save this drawing so we'll OK that like so and as you can see, it's working its way through updating the project as it goes. So it will take a little while to do this, especially if you've got lots of drawings in your project. And there it is. There's my F1 Tag Name, Component and Footprint that we created earlier. So that's my Nameplate. So I'm going to put this on the drawing but I am going to add Time and Date, Project Lines and Column Labels like so. I want to put that on the drawing so I click Put on Drawing, Table Generation Setup I'm going to leave as is. I'm not going to worry about making any changes there and I OK that. There's my table there. I click there. I then click on Close and as you can see, there is my nameplate. Now, obviously this nameplate isn't actually on this particular drawing. It's actually on Drawing 02. If I go back to that drawing and open it up, my nameplate was here, remember on this rectangle that I made into a block? So there it is there. There's the F1 Component Footprint. So if I click there, can you see the name there? NPAB8HA, just in the block reference there. There's the name of that block. If I go back to Panel Reports here and open this one up, there's that block name. So as you can see there, my Panel Reports report on the entire project and I can do those Panel Reports after I've done my item numbers and my balloons as well. Now, the items numbers and the balloons haven't shown because I haven't actually requested for them to be shown in the Panel Report itself. But you can see there I can actually set up an entire drawing which is purely panel reporting on the entire project if I want to and have all the tables in one sheet. So I could have that as Sheet 01, couldn't I in my project with all of my other circuit drawings underneath or vice versa. I have a panel report as my last drawing for example in my project. So that is your Panel Reports when you're setting up your Panel Layouts in AutoCAD Electrical 2010.
