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.
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
(Table toolbar) or .
- Specify the properties described below, then click
.
- Double-click a cell and type text. You can also insert symbols and custom properties.
