Engineering Report enables from version 2013.1 advanced positioning of report items. Users can define exact position of report item within the page width. For texts it is possible to define also the width of the text block.

Advanced positioning is available for formatted texts and all types of pictures.

User can choose the type of positioning using the property Position of report item. User can select between "One below another" and "User defined".

One below another means standard sequential placing of report items.

User defined positioning enables more variants of placing report items.
