Inserting Columns or Rows in Tables To insert a column or row in a table: With the table open, right-click a cell in the table and click one of the following: Option Description Insert > Column Right Inserts column to the right of the selected cell. Insert > Column Left Inserts column to the left of the selected cell. Insert > Row Above Inserts row above the selected cell. Insert > Row Below Inserts row below the selected cell. For new columns, select a Column type and related options. For example, select Custom Property for Column type and select a property for Property name. The ITEM NO., PART NUMBER, and QTY. columns are filled automatically. The QTY. entries are configuration specific. For custom properties, you can select from a set of SOLIDWORKS-specific properties, which have the SW- prefix. For descriptions of some of these system-defined properties, see Linking Notes to Document Properties.
