SEE Electrical V7R2 , creating and customizing reports involves using the built-in report generator to extract data like parts lists, wire lists, and PLC I/O tables from your electrical diagrams. Creating a New Report Open Generator : Navigate to the menu and select New Report Name the Report
: Enter a descriptive name (e.g., "Main Control Panel Bill of Materials"). Select Query : Choose the data source for your report, such as View PLC Card IO Parts List Define Layout Data Member
in the properties pane to "Table" to enable dragging and dropping fields into the report bands. Report Components & Customization Report Header
: Used for content that appears only on the first page, such as a project title or "PLC IO List" label. Page Header SEE Electrical 7R2 Full Version
: Place static text headings here (e.g., "Manufacturer," "Description") to appear at the top of every page. Detail Header
: This is where repeating project data is placed. Use tables instead of individual text fields for easier resizing and alignment. Field List
: You can create custom fields for totals. For example, to calculate a line total, use the expression TwoDouble([Quantity]) * TwoDouble([Price]) Finalizing and Exporting Formatting Property Grid
to adjust fonts, padding, and borders for a professional appearance. Print Preview
: Always use the preview function to check for unnecessary space in the page footer before finalizing. Workflow 2: Automated Wire Labels
: The completed report can be exported directly to formats like Microsoft Excel for sharing or further manipulation.
: If you frequently share projects across a network, ensure your templates and working data folders are copied to a shared network drive to keep reports consistent across all workstations.
If you are looking to build a specific type of report, let me know:
This is a deep, technical article exploring SEE Electrical 7R2, specifically focusing on its capabilities as a "Full Version" installation, its place in the CAD market, and its technical architecture.
Workflow 2: Automated Wire Labels
Define a naming convention (e.g., "W-"+Page+Row+Column).
The SEE Electrical 7R2 Full Version prints directly to Phoenix Contact or Brady thermal printers.
No more manual typing of wire sleeves.
3D Panel Layout Integration
While SEE Electrical is primarily 2D, the Full Version of 7R2 includes capabilities for Panel Layout. It allows engineers to drag and drop 2D footprints of components (enclosures, AC drives, terminal blocks) into a layout view.
The intelligence lies in the synchronization. If a component is placed in the schematic, it appears in a "parts list" for the panel layout. Once placed physically in the layout view, the software tracks physical space and helps calculate thermal dissipation.
Installing a Legitimate SEE Electrical 7R2 (Steps)
