Formats for Reports

Each report type requires a configuration (.cfg) file to process the information from the harness assembly and create a report. To create a configuration file or modify an existing configuration file, use the Edit configuration file command on the Report Generator toolbar.

Sample .cfg files for each of the main report types are provided in the Tutorial Files\Cable & Harness\Report Generator folder where you installed the Autodesk® Inventor® software. We recommend that you use these files whenever possible to reduce input time and errors. If the sample file does not meet your needs, use the sample file as a base. Modify and organize the data to include the information you need, and then save the file using a unique name.

You can also create a new blank configuration file.

Note: The Report Generator can only view report configuration and .csv files that are created in the Report Generator.
