Generating a Report from a Macro

	This task shows you how to create a new report that lists the attributes of an object. As an alternative you can use the methods described in Generating a Report and Defining the Report Format.
	The report lists the values of attributes like pressure, length, diameter, open/close position etc. These values only display if they have been added to the object, and if the attribute is included in the report.

Click `Select` and navigate to the directory `...intel_a\code\command`. Select the file named above and click `Open`. The file displays in the `Macro` dialog box.
	If you want to edit the script that creates the report, click `Edit`. You need to have some knowledge and experience of Visual Basic to edit scripts.
	3.	Select the file and click `Run`. The `Report Generation` dialog box displays, asking you to enter the name of a template. Four templates are provided with this application for four types of reports: Part Instrument FromTo (for lines) Equipment. They reside in the `...intel_a\code\command` directory. Enter the full directory path, based on your setup, and change the last word to one of the four types mentioned above. Your selection is based on the type of object for which you are seeking to generate a report.
