I'm trying to print out a list of cables, sources, and destinations for techs. In the cable database for the project, the print button generates a list based on the visible columns under the Data tab. The problem is, there are a lot of columns by default. I have to manually right click and hide each column one at a time, for all 30+ columns that I don't want to show on the print. Could you implement a feature to either select multiple columns to hide, or have checkboxes in the Column Chooser so I can go through and hide more quickly?

Attached is a picture of what the text document looks like before hiding all the columns. It was even worse at first, but I had already hidden a bunch by the time I thought to take a screenshot.

Thanks!

Hi Jesse,
Don't do that.
Use the reports instead.
There is a beautiful reporting engine built in to WireCAD that has the report you are looking for (any of the run sheets).
In addition this report is formattable so it shows only what you want to show in a repeatable manner from project to project.
