Printing reports to file

You can print reports (to file) straight from the dialog box in which they are displayed. When the printer port is set to FILE, reports are always printed to file.

To print a report to file

1. Click Reports.
2. Create the appropriate report.
3. Click Print.
4. Select a printer that is set to FILE or select the Output to file option.

   If the report exceeds one page, you can specify whether you want to include all the pages in the print file or selected ones only.

5. Enter a file name (up to 8 characters) without specifying an extension. If you place extern\ in front of the file name, the files are saved in the external path.
   Example: entering extern\list1 creates a file named list1 or list1.prn or list1.plt (the extension varies from driver to driver) in the ..nem\Allplan...\extern folder. You can then save these files using the tools on the File menu in the Services application.
   

   • On the Windows start menu, point to (All) Programs - Nemetschek - Allplan 2015 and click Services 2015.
   

   The 'external data buffer' constitutes a buffer for data of different types.. For example, it facilitates the exchange of data between various program versions and the reading-in of external data. You can back up the data in the external path in one step using the tools on the File menu in the Services application.

   You can set the folder for the external path in ProjectPilot. The default is ...\Users\Windows_user_name\Documents\Nemetschek\Allplan\2015\Extern.
