.set parameters

[gcsjlewis]

Does anyone know where i can find a list of parameters and what all this means? 

Report = Panel Bill of Material (BOMPNL)
Format = (0 16 1 2 3 4 6  (7 4 3 ))
Title = ("ITEM" "QTY" "SUB" "CATALOG" "MFG" "ASSYCODE" "DESCRIPTION" "DESC" "QUERY2" "QUERY3" "MISC1" "MISC2" "USER1" "USER2" "USER3" "TABNAM" "TAGS" "DESC1" "DESC2" "DESC3" "INST" "LOC" "UM" "HDL" "DWGIX" )
Characters = (12 4 4 60 24 24 60 60 60 60 60 60 24 24 24 32 24 60 60 60 24 16 60 18 12 )
Justification = ("R" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "R" "R" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" "L" )
Sorting = (16 5 4 4 )
Include Options = ("1" "0" "1" "1" "1" "1" "0" "0" "0" "1" "0" "0" "0" "0" "" )
Location Options = (1 nil )
Installation Options = (1 nil )
Table Options = ("0" "1" "0" "0" "0" "1" "1" "0" "0" "0" "" "" "0" "0" )
Table Settings = (0.1000 1.0000 0.2533 "PITEM" 1 1 1 256 256 256 "" "" "" "" "0" "col_varies" "" ("16.4463" "16.7126" "0.0" ) )
Table Fix Options = ("0" "0" "0" "0" "0" "0" )
Table Layout = (0.7200 0.7200 0.6200 0.6200 1.0200 0.6200 1.4200 )
Table Insertion = 0

I would like to try and customize my panel bom a little more but i think i need some more info...specifically table options and table settings

I would also like to know the answer to this....has anyone found the answer?

Why would you do this in the .SET-file? All these settings are controlled with a GUI in the report generator.

[dbrblg]

I don't believe the GUI allows me to do all the changes I require.

I did a Report Format File Setup which originally put a BOM on the drawing.  I since require the BOM to be saved to a file instead but there is no way I can find to stop it being put on a drawing as well as being saved to a report.  

I wanted to go in there and remove the parts which are responsible for putting it on the drawing.

[rhesusminus]

Seems like if these lines exist in the .SET-file it's inserted into a drawing:

Table Options
Table Settings
Table Fix Options
Table Layout
Table Insertion

And the same with these lines, to save to a file:

Output File Type
Output File Name

So, just remove the lines that you don't want.

Personally, I was looking at a couple of API commands that would help automate this process. I was hoping for some insight on understanding this file structure, and maybe able to write a lisp that would automate a couple steps. Every panel layout drawing I resequence the item numbers, rebuild the project database, then run the panel report. All the default settings for our panel layout is stored here in the .set file. I just wasn't sure if there is a way of understanding what all of this means. I just figured if someone knew, and I understood what it means I could take this a step farther.

Thanks
