Drawing Information for Table Output

If new drawings are needed for table output, specifies a starting drawing filename and its location. The filename is incremented if multiple drawings are created. If the path is not entered, the drawing files are created in the same path as the .wdp file for the active project. You can specify the drawing template file for new drawings.

Note: New drawings are created only if there is not an existing table for a report that can be updated.
