Result picture generator
The Result picture generator is a new type of generator of report pictures. It was added in version 15.2. It enables to gen- erate separate picture for each selected value from any result.
What is new in release 15.
Improved dynamic calculation of picture size (One at
page, Two at page)
The size of the picture includes also immediately preceding chapters.
Similar improvement was done also in Pagination engine. Since version 15.2 are all immediately preceding chapters bind with picture. If the picture with those chapters does not fit on remaining space on the current page, they are all moved to the next page.

What is new in release 14.1 and 15
This chapter contains overview of added features in versions 14.1 and 15.0. For further detailed information please see par- ticular chapters.
Relative sizes of pictures in Engineering Report
Since the version 14.1 it is possible to use relative definition of picture size. Available relative sizes are: l One at page l Two at page l Fit to page width
Simplified inserting of pictures into Engineering
Report
When inserting picture from SCIA Engineer to Engineering Report it is possible to read values of properties from one of 4 predefined sets. Content of those 4 sets is defined by the user via button Save.
Regeneration of Engineering reports from batch ana-
lysis
In the dialogue of Batch analysis it is possible to select also some of existing reports to be regenerated at the end of analysis. This possibility enables to run finite element analysis and regeneration of selected reports in one step (e.g. during the night
What is new in release 14.1 and 15
This way it is possible to display content of several reports from different projects together in one report.
Standalone application based on SDF platform in
Engineering Report
Since version 14.1 it is possible to insert results of those standalone application directly into Engineering Report. Their out- put can be then integral part of final report. All available standalone SDF-based applications are listed in the New items. From this place can be inserted into report.
Each standalone SDF-based application needs to be installed on the machine to be visible in the list. Editing is the same as editing of other SDF calculations in Engineering Report.
Definition of font in properties of formatted text
It is possible to use different fonts in different formatted text items. The font name and size can be defined in the properties of formatted text item.
Chapter 2
Zoom in formatted text editor
In the formatted text editor it is possible to increase the size of text in the editing area.
Colour conversion of DWG files
It is possible to convert colours in pictures from DWG files to different colours and different line thickness to get outputs sim- ilar to printings from AutoCAD®.
