Print out report on one measurement : Ctrl + P or Review → Print One Record
If there is an accessible default printer and you want to print out a separate report on just one line in the
measured results list, press Ctrl + P.
Template Mode of scanning
Pressing the Enter Template button (8a in Figure 8.1) or “Alt-A” brings up the Prepare-Template dialog (8b in
Figure 8.1). The purpose of the default example in the editable text of the dialog is to illustrate the format in
which a Template can be created. A key element of the format is the semicolons separating between entries to
different editable columns. You can (and are expected to) modify all the text, however the number of
semicolons must be the same in every row and equal to the number of columns minus one.
NOTE: Do not use semicolons in your comments and other text entries for any purpose other than separating
columns.
Creating and Saving Templates
The Save button is used to save the Template currently in the editable text. A default filename is offered and the
default directory for saving Templates is the current output folder. You can modify both the filename and the
directory. We recommend saving Templates in the directories in which you expect to use them. If there is
already a file with the same filename in the directory where you want to save, you are prompted to decide
whether you want to over-write or to change the filename.
You can also create a template using Notepad and taking care to have the correct number of semicolons. Our
default filename extension for Templates, *.scs (Semi-Column Separated) is optional, so you can use other
extensions if you like.
Yet another method for creating and saving Templates from the measured results list of previously completed
measurements is described in section “ Create and Save a Template from Measured Results List: Alt + F8 or
"Edit/Extract → Extract Template”.
Loading an Existing Template
The Load button (8c in Figure 8.1) is used to load an existing template. After pressing it, select an existing
template file you want to load and press "Open". If the file you loaded contains inconsistent numbers of
semicolons in its rows a pop-up warning draws your attention to this fact.
Accepting Current Template
If you are satisfied with the template you see in the editable text, press button “Apply Template” to accept it and
to start Template Mode.
If it happens that in some rows the number of semicolons is wrong, the template is not accepted, template mode
does not start, and a message box shows the text of the first problematic row to be corrected. Correct the
number of semicolons in all the affected rows and press “Apply Template” again. This process can be repeated
as long as you need to correct all.
If you want to discard the template in the editable text and to close the dialog, press Esc or the cross in the upper
right corner.
