Adding a Table Element

Use the CBElement command with the Table option to add a table element to a CustomBlock definition.

A table element lets you specify a custom property associated with a list of defined values.

Note: A CustomBlock definition can contain multiple table elements.

You can associate a table element with only one grip point. In the Block reference, clicking the grip point displays the list of available values.

To add a table element:

Note: Before adding any table element, make sure that you added the appropriate elements and activities.

1. Type CBElement at the command prompt.
2. Specify the Table option.
3. Optionally, specify the properties:
   • Name
   • Label
   • Description
   • Palette

   You can always modify the element properties in the Properties palette.

4. In the graphics area, specify the element position in the CustomBlock definition. The position of the table element in the CustomBlock definition is the grip point position in the Block reference.
5. Specify the number of grip points:
   • 0. No grip points.
   • 1. One grip point will appear at the element position.
