Combining ReportWorks Documents

ReportWorks | File | Append

ReportWorks permits you to combine multiple .rwRpt files using the File | Append option.  This can be a handy way to append a standard company legend to your layouts.

Step-by-Step Summary

  1. If necessary, open the .rwRpt file to which another file is to be appended. (See Opening a ReportWorks File.) 
  2. Select the File | Append menu command.
  3. In the displayed window, locate the existing .rwRpt file to append to the current view, click on its name to highlight it, and click OK.
  4. The program will load the data items from the selected file and display them in the current view.  
  5. If you wish to save this new view, choose the Filel | Save command to save it under the same file name as the original scene, or the File | Save As command to assign the combined scene a new name. (See Saving ReportWorks Files.)

! Be warned that if you have images in your ReportWorks documents, and if you share the documents across different projects, you might consider embedding the images so that file paths don't get messed up.  See the discussion of embedding versus linking in the drawing tools topics (RockWorks, raster, geo-raster).
