     hi,

    you should create a database file for reporting tool.Tools>>Report and next choose New/Edit button.Select "Logical_Pin" caption from the "Select Database View".There is a list below now for adding data to your report list.you can choose necessary "drill_hole" definitions from the list.Save the file.When you report , you can get the file by using "Browse" button on the reports tool.

    Sample report file :

    # This is an extract command file
    # generated by the Extract UI.
    #
    LOGICAL_PIN
    DRILL_HOLE_NAME
    DRILL_HOLE_PLATING
    DRILL_HOLE_X
    DRILL_HOLE_Y
    BOARD_UNITS
    END
