Working with Tables

Tables are drawing entities that contain data in rows and columns. You can include in Tables various data, such as text, Blocks, numeric data, and formulas. Additionally, fields let you include information from the drawing.

Use Tables for title blocks, part lists, legends, calculations, or annotations, for example.

Tables have three types of cells: title, head, and data. When you create a table, the title cell is in editing mode and you can type text.

At any time, you can modify the size of table rows and columns using grip points.

TableStyles determine the structure and appearance of Tables.

All text fields are Text entities that you can edit and format using the Edit Note text editor.

Commands to work with Tables include:
