This dialog enables you to generate one or more loop drawings. To generate loop drawings for a batch of loops selected in the Domain Explorer, you can do one of the following:
-
Apply the generation method that was previously assigned to the loops in the Domain Explorer.
-
Change the generation method for all the loops, and then apply this method in the current generation.
If you want to generate loop drawings using a CAD application, for the current generation only, you can set CAD drawing generation settings, which include defining a file format of the output drawings, determining whether you want to generate a drawing per loop, per page or per block, setting options for macro display and history records, and so forth.

When generating a batch of Enhanced Report Utility drawings, you can set your preferences to open a print preview of every drawings or print the Enhanced Report Utility drawings automatically, without opening a print preview.
