Where is this .GRA file located?

Calypso 101 question.
So this is the default graphical report for GD&T surface profiles, the header doesn't contain any info that my VPHEAD contains other than part number, so if a page got loose i would have no way to say "This belongs with part #35".
I went thru the default folder and looked at all the .GRA's, but i didn't see any templates that looked like this.
Where do they hide this file?

Calypso 2016, 6.2

I think it is one of these in here that creates the Cad view. For other forms like flatness and roundness the header is a link to some other .gra file. I don't remember how I found the link last time I played around with it but if I remember correctly it was quite easy to find.

Roberto, If this is a Graphic Element, then this is a ptx. Go to windows explorer and try searching your c: drive for standardportait.ptx. Most all of the plots will have some file name somewhere in the window. That's what you want to look for. However, some reports use a common header file, the name escapes me right now.

Sofar Henrik is the winner, i found the gra file in the location he posted (same path in Calypso 6.2).
The file i need is "Acis_3d_Portrate.GRA".
But there is a problem, when i open up this GRA it is different than the VPHEAD and such, it does not appear to be editable.
The whole header is 1 block, but individual parts of the block cannot be selected & deleted without deleting the entire header.
one thing i notice is that the file in question is located in the "Formplott" folder and the VPHEAD and such are located in the "Protoform" folder. I wonder if protoform is editable and formplott is protected. i did not see a similar Acis_3d_Portrate.GRA in the protoform folder.

This is what I was referring to. The header is a different file. Not in front of Calypso right now, but if you look around in the gra, you'll find a reference to the header file.

That is what I also (poorly) tried to explain. It is possible to find a name or a path to the headerfile somewhere in Acis_3d_Portrate.GRA. It is not protected in any way. It is just that the header files for the plots is used in several plots so you don't have to change one header for each type of characteristic.

BOOM!
MBHEAD.GRA in the protoform file is it.
Checking the aspect of the "header Block" of Acis_3d_Portrate.GRA was the winning answer.

Still needs a little fine tuning, but in 10 minutes i was able to get rid of all the worthless junk and added company logo and LOTID.
I also change the Blue Zeiss badge to a neutral gray one i found online, you wouldn't believe how much ink that electric blue logo eats up.

Thank you Chad
