Report Pictures

These are the pictures that appear in the NC Report when using the Standard option of the NC Report. The types of pictures that can be defined, are listed below.

The process of including a picture in the NC Report depends on the type of picture, however, the general rule is:

  1. Design the template of the Report.
  2. Capture the master pictures to be included in the Report. The pictures should be of the required size (without scaling) and given the names described in the table below. During the Report creation process, these master pictures are automatically replaced by the ones captured by the user. However, if for some reason replacement pictures were not found, the master pictures remain in the Report.

  3. Define the master picture names and sizes in the NcReportImage.xmlNcReportImage.xml file.

    The NcReportImage.xml file is located in the following folder:

    ...\ProgramData\Cimatron\Cimatron\2026.0\Data

    The NcReportImage.xml file is located in the following folder:

    ...\ProgramData\Cimatron\Cimatron\2026.0\Data

    The NcReportImage.xml file is located in the following folder:

    ...\ProgramData\Cimatron\Cimatron\2026.0\Data

  4. Insert the master pictures into the <Report_name>.Setup.mht and/or <Report_name>.Tools.mht template file.

    The <Report_name>.Setup.mht and <Report_name>.Tools.mht template files are located in the following folder:

    ...\ProgramData\Cimatron\Cimatron\2026.0\Data\Nc\Customized Reports

    The <Report_name>.Setup.mht and <Report_name>.Tools.mht template files are located in the following folder:

    ...\ProgramData\Cimatron\Cimatron\2026.0\Data\Nc\Customized Reports

    The <Report_name>.Setup.mht and <Report_name>.Tools.mht template files are located in the following folder:
