Organizing objects into classes
DenebaCAD lets you set up classifications of objects so that you can
generate reports containing data that you enter into the class text boxes.
In other words, you can classify objects and then generate reports using
the classifications.
Using a house as an example, you can create hardware, plumbing and electrical
classes. You can then organize the information by categories such as model,
price, and color. You can then generate reports based on the specific information
you need.
For example, if you need to order door knobs for the house, you can categorize
door knobs under the hardware class. You can then generate a report based
on the hardware class, and more specifically the model, price and quantity
of the door knobs.
To do this, you set up a class system using the Class Manager. You can
then assign an object to a class using the Properties Manager, and generate
reports based on the object's categorizations using the Analysis Manager.
You can refer to the Window menu chapter to learn more about setting
up classes with the Class Manager, and using the Properties and Analysis
Managers. |
