A custom report generation
How can I get a custom report from E3 Design directly?
Please help me to achieve this.
I want a report of this type. A connector is the main heading and all the connections arising from it. I wanted to make the report smart by counting the same wires as shown in the Wire Type which shows there are 2 wires. The wire group showing the main cable along with overbraid. And Length of the connections is much.
The figure worth a thousand words.
p.s: The formboard wire table are similar to it, but it does not work smartly by Counting the same wires if repeated as I want. Also, It does not have a length option.

You can find a lot of info for VB scripting on the web but there is nothing specifc for E3 I can point you to. If you have any sort of programming knowledge though, it is not that hard to pick up. The help file in E3 can be useful place to start.
I have found the algorithm for all E3 scripts is similar:
1. Set up a connection object.
2. Set the other object types.
3. Use the Job object to create an array(s) of IDs for your other object types.
4. Loop through each element in the array and do something.
