### <mark style="color:blue;">Report Files Location</mark>

The “Report files location” section determines in which directory the reports configuration files (rcf) and layouts files (\*.layout.xx.x) are located.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">General</mark>

This option is used typically in a single-user environment if you work along and you use the same reports for all your project.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Project</mark>

This option is used if you have project specific reports. In this case the rcf and layout files are stored automatically in each project under \ACPlantTools\PlantReporter\ReportFiles.

You might want to consider this option also when using Collaboration projects. In this case the rcf and layout files will be checked in/our automatically with your project.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Custom Path</mark>

This option is used if you use the same reports for all your project or have a limited variety of reports for different projects and you are working in a multi-user environment.

### <mark style="color:blue;">Changing Report Files Location</mark>

Since PlantReporter version 7.2.0.xxxx can copy the rcf and layout files when you change the location option. The following table gives you an overview of the behavior you can expect when you switch the **From** to the **To** option.

**Project Pre-Selected** means whether a project is selected before you change the location or not.

**Existing Reports in new location** means if there are already rcfs and layouts at the new location.

**Options** means what and if there are any options when you make the change. **All** means, that all rcfs and layout will be copied to the new location. **Copy with Options** menas that a dialog will appear where you have several options (Copy, Override, Rename, No Copy) for the copying of the rcfs and layout.

### <mark style="color:blue;">AutoCAD Version</mark>

Here you set the AutoCAD Plant 3D version your project is using. However, since AutoCAD 2018 it doesn't matter what version you have selected. Typically you set the version you have installed as the latest on your machine.

If you use Collaboration projects, then you have to select either 2023 or higher.
