    Adding Tracking Codes to Report Forms

    The tracking code is a text entity that is printed along the lower left margin of report forms.  Example of a Tracking Code showing the report form name, the project file, the data template used in the design of the form, and the print date:

    GENERAL BH/TP/WELL GINT STD  CANADA LAB.GPJ GINT STD CANADA LAB.GDT 11/31/14

    This is how it looks when printed:

    Ideally you should use a tracking code in all your reports.  This is a perfect use for a block, which is created and maintained in one place and used in many places.  

    Create a Tracking Codes Drawing

    First we will create a drawing that we can add to a block.

    1. Go to DRAWINGS Drawing Library.
    2. Click the New   button to add a new drawing.  The New...  dialog appears.

    3. In the Name field enter Track Codes and click OK.

    4. On the menu bar, select Draw Text Text.  The Text Properties dialog opens.

    5. In the data tool, from the System drop-down list, select Data Items.

    6. From the Items drop-down list select the items you wish to use and click the Paste button directly above.  Repeat for each item  you wish to show. Example: 

      <<ReportID>>  <<ProjFile>>  <<DataTemplate>>  <<Format(<<Now>>,<<fdNumSlash>>)>>

    7. Enter the following on the Main tab:

      Field Name Value Comments
      Height 1.5 or 0.06  Enter 1.5 if your units are millimeters.  Enter 0.06 if they are inches.  
      Horizontal Alignment Left  
      Vertical Alignment Base  
      Angle 90 Rotates the text 90 degrees.
      X -0.8 Positions the text entity.
      Y 0 Positions the text entity.
      Font Name Arial  

    8. Click OK to place the text entity at the lower left.

    Add a Tracking Codes Block to Your Report Template

    Now we will add a block containing the tracking codes to your report form.

    1. Go to REPORT DESIGN and select the type of report template, example Logs, Fences, Graphs, etc. you wish to change.
    2. Select the template you wish to modify.

    3. Select Blocks Insert Block.  The Block Properties dialog opens.

    4. Click the Reset button.

    5. In the Block Source field, click the browse  button.  The Block Source dialog opens.

    6. Select DWGLIB (Drawing Library) and then TRACK CODES.
    7. Click OK. Enter the following values in the Main tab of the Block Properties dialog box:

      Field Name Value Comments
      Design Mode Color Very Light Red Specifies the color that will identify the block insert and block contents in the report.
      X -60 or 1.5  Enter -60 if your units are millimeters.  Enter 1.5 if inches.  Positions the block insert.  Has no impact on the block itself.
      Y 25 or 1.0 Enter 25 if your units are millimeters.  Enter 1.0 if inches.  Positions the block insert.

    8. Click OK to place the block.

      A block insert (labeled ‘DWGLIB TRACK CODES All’) appears at lower left beside the report form. The inserted text entity displays vertically along the left margin rectangle (shown here with Settings Iconize Data Fields unchecked so you can see it).
