The PointInfo object acts as a container to hold individual point information in your report.
Using the PointInfo Object in a Label Template
Using the Object Bar for the Label Template editor, add and size the PointInfo object so that it appears as desired in your Label Template editor's display area. Save the label template. Next, use the Rule Tree Editor dialog box for a new or existing report template to specify under what conditions (for what dimensions) PC-DMIS will call and display that label template. See "About the Rule Tree Editor" in this chapter for information on how to do this.
Using the PointInfo Object in a Custom Report
Using the Object Bar for the Custom Report editor, drag or drop the PointInfo object into the Custom Report. PC-DMIS displays the Point Info dialog box allowing you to select the point to be associated with the object.
Select the feature or dimension and then a point from the dialog box, set whatever options you want, and click OK. PC-DMIS creates point info commands for the selected features or dimensions and closes the dialog box. PC-DMIS displays a table on your report that contains feature or dimension point information.
See "Inserting Point Info Boxes" in the "Inserting Report Commands" chapter for complete information on how to use this dialog box to display dimension information.
In a custom report, the Analysis object can display its own Point Info boxes as well. See "Analysis Object" for more information.
