General Tables
You can create general tables to use in drawings. These tables allow
similar functionality to other SolidWorks
tables, such as split, merge, sort, and equations. See Table Cell,
Row, and Column Toolbars for more information.
Use a general table when you need to type data in the cells rather than
having data generated automatically. General tables require user input
for all cells.
To insert a general table:
In a drawing, click General
Table

the direction in which the table expands when adding new columns or rows.
