Multiple Sift Rules are sets of single Sift Rules that are run in the order listed to organize your data by more than one Sift Rule at a time. Multiple Sift Rules serve two purposes:
1. Points can be organized according to feature type.
2. Each Sift Rule will cause a page break, so that sheets are grouped by Sift Rule.
Default Multiple Sift Rule options:
· Single Sift Rule - the default Sift Rule, as set in the Sift Rules () dialog.
· Handedness - a Multiple Sift Rule that sorts the report by grouping annotation by the handedness of the data; each change in hand is started on a new sheet.
· SMI Type - a Multiple Sift Rule that sorts the data in the report by Surface (grouped by direction), Holes, and Distance features.
If your data does not meet the specifications of the selected Sift Rule, no data will appear in your report.
