Reports, Parts list and Attachments (BedCAD)

Reports are generated by BedCAD based on the current design. To generate a report click on 'Reports' and then the name of the report you want to generate. They open up as a text document using your default text editor (normally Notepad).

The report will be called 'report.txt'. You may wish to save the file as a different name.

The default text editor can be changed by clicking 'Special' - 'Edit global ini'. Click the 'Browse' button next to the Text Editor box and find the program you wish to use.

NOTE - If you attempt to generate a report and nothing appears, it's possible your default editor is set to a non-existent or invalid program.
