      <p class="para_topic">Use the <b class="uiTerm">Formboard Report</b> tool to automatically generate annotations on many objects, or for creating annotations that are not associated to a single object. See <a class="links" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="top.openFile('routingtools/wiring_fmbd_ann_type.html');return(false);">Formboard Report Types</a> for descriptions of each type of annotation. Selection of NX objects disables in this dialog box.
      </p>
      <p class="para_topic">This dialog box behaves exactly the same as the <b class="uiTerm">Formboard Annotation</b> dialog box. The only differences are in the type of annotations created, and the results on <b class="uiTerm">OK</b>/<b class="uiTerm">Apply</b>.
      </p>
      <div class="title_division">OK/Apply</div>
      <p class="para_division">For <b class="uiTerm">Cutsheet</b>, <b class="uiTerm">Part List</b> and <b class="uiTerm">Nodal Report</b> reports, the behavior is the same as the <b class="uiTerm">Component</b> annotation in the <b class="uiTerm">Formboard Annotation Tool</b>.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">The <b class="uiTerm">CGM File</b> launches a <b class="uiTerm">File Selection</b> dialog box, used for selecting the CGM file to import. After you choose a CGM file, the <b class="uiTerm">Point Tool</b> launches to specify the origin of the imported geometry.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">For <b class="uiTerm">Auto Component</b>, <b class="uiTerm">Auto Connector</b> and <b class="uiTerm">Auto Pin Listing</b> reports, an annotation creates at each component in the component list. <b class="uiTerm">Auto Component CGM</b>, <b class="uiTerm">Auto Component Pattern</b> are annotations that are applied to each component in the component list that has a CGM_FILE or PATTERN_FILE characteristic. If the <b class="uiTerm">Launch Editor</b> option is turned on, then <b class="uiTerm">Specify Offset</b> dialog box starts once before all of the individual annotations are created. The <b class="uiTerm">Base Point</b> option specifies the base point of the origin, based on the bounding box of the component. <b class="uiTerm">Top Left</b> indicates that the origin should be at the point that is at the maximum Y and minimum X of the bounding box of the component. The X and Y Offset values are offsets that apply to the base point.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">The <b class="uiTerm">Auto Clock</b> report creates a <b class="uiTerm">Clock Annotation</b> at each component in the component list that clocks with another component. If the <b class="uiTerm">Launch Editor</b> option is on, then the <b class="uiTerm">Specify Offset</b> dialog box for <b class="uiTerm">Auto Clock</b> starts.
