On the Table Generation Setup dialog, select Insert New (non-updatable) if
you don't want the table updated each time the report is run. If you do want
it to still update under certain circumstances you can use a Format .set
file to make the report table unique within a report.
AcadE uses 3 things to know if a report is being re-run (and the table
should be overwritten), or if it is a new report (and a new table inserted).
If all 3 match then the report table is overwritten with a new one.
1) the report itself, in this case Drawing List Report
2) the scope of the report, draing vs. project, in this case project is only
one avaialble
3) the format .set file which in your case I am guessing you don't specify a
.set file so the default of DWGLST.SET is used if it exists. If you want you
could create multiple copies of the .set file, one for each sub-assembly.
Then the report tables are still updatable if you run the report again with
the same .set file. If the DWGLST.SET exists just copy it to another name
for each report you run. If it doesn't exist, run the report, go into Change
Report Format and click OK+Save As and provide a name. Then copy this one to
new names for each report.
Hope this helps,

We are using ACADE 2008. We are trying to break down our project schematic
into sub-assemblies within a project. For example, sub-assembly numbers
begin with 610 for project overview index, 611 for power distribution, 612 -
618 for individual cabinets, robots and other systems. For each
sub-assembly it will have it's own Index Sheet at the beginning.
I run the Drawing List Report for a sub-assembly and put it on a drawing the
fist sub-assembly index sheet just fine. The problem is that when I run the
report for any of the following sub-assemblies, it overwrites the table on
the first index sheet. This happens regardless of what sheet I am currently
on when I run the report.
Short of running the report, copying the table and pasting it on a
non-project drawing, then running the report for the next sub-assembly and
copying the table and pasting it on a non-project drawing, then running the
report for the next sub-assembly and copying the table and pasting it on a
non-project drawing, then running the report for the next sub-assembly and
etc.... I cannot find a way to make this work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
