Report Field Attribute Definitions

[Hedivan]

When modifying the Report Format files how do I know what attribute an certain field will look for when the report is generated.
For example I am trying to add the X?TERMDESCn attributes to a WireTo/From report. How do I know what field will call up this attribute.
I know how this is done when the attributes are user defined and the .wda file is used. Do the ACADE fields have there own .wda file?

When modifying the Report Format file, if you are using the wizard, you will
get a list of AcadE supported fields for that report. Some of this
information comes from attributes, some from other sources. If you look up
in the Help for that report, at the bottom of the topic there should be a
listing of Available Fields that describes each of the fields. If you want a
field that isn't listed, and it is held on an attribute, you can add that to
the user defined list even if it is an AcadE standard attribute.

If this doesn't help you get the field you are looking for, let me know what
version of AcadE, what report, what field you are interested in and if you
are running it in the Automatic reports and maybe I can be more specific.
