Including part images and nesting diagrams in your report

You can include thumbnail images of parts, and (if available), nesting diagrams, in your reports, by adding the following attribute to the <Reports> tag in the XML file:

generateThumbnails="true"

In Excel, this will create:

• a new tab called "Thumbnails" containing the images

• a table in the cost summary sheet containing the mapping from the scenario name to the name of the image in Excel.

In XML output, the <Scenario> element will have a "thumbnail" attribute with a reference to a .png file, which gets generated in the same directory as the XML.

In CSV, we generate the .png files in the same directory as the .csv files. There is no reference in the CSV output to the .png files.
