Only the data that has been used in at least one weld in the tags or drawings selected will appear in the data book. For example, if you have 50 heat numbers in the project and only 5 of those heat numbers have been picked for the welds in the tags or drawings selected, then only the 5 heat numbers and MTCs will appear in the data book. The data that are not used in any of the welds, will not be included in the data book.
