I'm working with TP1500 Comfort panel in pare with CPU1214C. I'd think the way would be to make a VB script to convert the trend view object into an image and then insert it to the report. Trying to find any help documents or case examples. Thank you,

In this case I have some suggestions: - Check the following entry in the WinCC v17 manual where you can check how to create an individual layout for the report. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109798671/21485057291 - Use the PrintScreen function in order to have a screenshor of the active image of the HMI and print it. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/58205602 Br!

It works good for me with only downside is the layout of document has to be Landscape. This is the reason I'm looking for a solution for report. This link does not work for me in some reasons: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109798671/21485057291

Unfortunately the information in it did not help much as "Control Hardcopy" objects are available only for RT Professional and I have to find a solution for a Comfort panel I'm still thinking there is a possibility to manipulate with Trend View as an object, My thought process is to some how get it in VBScript and save it as a graphics with specific name linked to a tag which can be inserted into the report as a Graphic I/O field. I will appreciate if anyone who has done something like that before share how to with me. Thank you!

I think the printscreen is the only way Bye Murof
