Note that a line string which may consist of numerous line segments only counts as a single line object in this report.

A line object must be on a currently displayed group before it may be included in the report. Refer to the Utilities/Display/Groups command.

The type of line objects to be included in the report is governed by the settings in the Utilities/Display/Features command. Only those types selected for display can be included in the report. This enables the generation of a report of only particular types of line objects.
