The
menu in the SVG viewer provides a Visual Reporting option.
Visual Reporting enables you to implement visual changes to your search results, comprising of 2D Drawing components.
It enables you to:
-
Categorize 2D Drawing components and alter their colours.
-
Save the Visual Report to re-use later.
By default, you will be able to apply visual changes to the search results; but the Save button will be enabled only if you have appropriate rights granted by your System Administrator.
To apply visual changes to the search results:
-
In the SVG viewer, select the
menu, and then select Visual Reporting.
The Visual Reporting pane opens.

-
In the drop-down box, select the arrow to select New Visual Report.
The searches saved under the selected Visual Report appear as a list.
-
In the Colour box, click the arrow to select the colour, and then select Set Colour.
-
Select Apply.
-
To reset all the changes made to the visual report, select Reset option followed by Run.
The visual changes are applied to the 2D Drawing components in that saved search.
Note: If the search criteria used in a saved search finds more results than the limits configured under: Settings Panel > Site > General > Visual Reports (Max list items for Visual Reports) (the default limit is set as 25000), a warning message appears. If this happens, consider changing this setting; but be careful to not exceed the combined performance of the system, the hardware and the network latency.
The following functionality of Visual Reporting for 2D Drawings works the same as for Visual Reporting for 3D models (see Visual Reporting):
-
Visual Reporting drop-down to create a new visual report (select New Visual Report) or to load an existing visual report
-
Add New Search link to add new search
-
Remove All link to remove all searches
-
New Search link to open prompt
-
Colour picker to select colour of search result
-
Run button to apply highlight with selected colour on search results
-
Save button to save a new visual report with ID and description
