Organizing Reports AutoSketch reports can be stored in two manners: locally or globally. A local report is stored with a particular drawing, while a global report can be used in multiple drawings. The information stored in the local report can be about a particular drawing, or a smaller version of a global report containing only information relevant to a particular drawing.
