Create record formats to add data to drawing objects, which can then be used in reports to provide information about the project. For example, for a hotel project, you might create a format that includes the model number, price, and location of different items of furniture. After you attach the appropriate data to the furniture objects, you could create a report that shows the number of sofas you need on each floor of the hotel.
