Alternative 1 : Select each of the items you want a report on, then press the " OK " button. Go to step 5.
Alternative 2 : Press " Cancel " to end this operation without outputting any CNC reports. Do not continue.
5 . If the box for " Disable error checking " is not checked ( 
), each of the materials you selected undergoes verification .
Possibility 1 : A report is output for a selected material if that material is free of errors. Each report that is output is named for the member piecemark or submaterial mark selected in step 4b and given a " .txt " extension.
Possibility 2 : An error message is generated instead of a report if a selected material is found to have CNC errors.
Note 1: If the box for " Disable error checking " is checked (
), you will not get any error messages. You might still, however, get warning messages in addition to the report, if one can be generated. A Cope Report cannot be generated for a material that is not coped or has no flange thinning operations. A Saw Report cannot be generated for a material that does not have web cuts or flange cuts.
Note 2: If you output the reports to the report viewer (" Screen "), you can now review the reports on screen, one at a time, then optionally print them or output them to disk (see report viewer ).
