Where did you get the so-called review RDB report… You probably mean the material report, right? Material reports are created in Report Manager. Also, when asking questions, be as detailed as possible; clarify your purpose and specify where the problem occurred. Either take screenshots to illustrate your point with visuals……
Reply to 2# tuliplt: Could you tell me how to create an RDB report? It’s done in the Report Manager as you mentioned. How does one go about it? As a cartographer, I have to prepare an RDB report once a week, and I don’t know how to do it! I can’t be specific either; please explain it to me in terms of what you know
1. REPROT MANAGER 2. REPORT FORMAT---CREATE----Give your own name to the number field; do the same for the description field. However, you must specify a file with a .fmt extension, and this file must be located in the 3D\RPT\FMT\ folder. Press Enter and check the box. 3. Go back to the second-level directory, select REPORT DISCRIMINATION DATA-----create-----Give your own name to the number field; do the same for the description field. However, you must specify a name with a .dis extension, and you can choose this name yourself. Next, select the model for which you want to create a material report. There are three ways to do this; choose any one of them. After making your selection, check the corresponding box – first a checkmark, then an underscore, then another checkmark. Remember to follow this order of checks and underscores; if you miss any step, no report will be generated. 4. Go back to the second-level directory, select REPORT----create----, and enter a name for the report as well as its title. Enter xx.txt in the “spec” field; the “format file” field should contain the name you used in the second step. Select the file you created in the third step for the “discrimination data” field, then press Enter and check the box. 5. After that, wait for the processing to complete. The generated material report can be found in the rpt\OUT\ folder
