About the Report of Fasteners

Fasteners can be broken for different reasons. To help you identify the necessary actions to take to solve issues and make your design consistent, you can rely on the reports generated by the Immersive Report, Short Report and Utility commands. This topic provides information for understanding your reports.

Generating a Short Report

Before generating reports, you need to know the following:

  • Except for the joined crossed thicknesses information (in the long report), columns are not ordered according to a defined criteria.
  • New columns can be added to the flat report format, in case of a new version of the flat report or a long report.
  • One single log file is issued per flat report.
  • A selection of fasteners to be reported can be made before entering the command. This selection can be modified at all times while using the command.
  • If no BiW entity is selected, the flat report will contain all fasteners found in the active product, including those located within all sub-product instances. In this case, the whole product structure is scanned recursively, starting from the active product.
  • The coordinates of the products are reported relatively to the active product coordinates.
