User-defined tables

The Table command creates a table that contains user-defined data.

The table consists of a title (A), column header (B), and column data (C).

Creating a table

Use the Table command to create a user-defined table.

This displays the Table Properties dialog box, which contains tabs that assist you in creating the table.

You can save your table format to a name you define using the Saved Settings options on the General tab.

Creating a custom table style

You can use the Styles command to create your own, fully customized Table styles in the Draft environment and make them available for many different table applications. For example, custom table styles can be applied to parts lists, pipe lists, hole tables, bend tables, drawing notes, revision tables, and the dimension table used by families of assemblies.

You can select and apply a custom table style to a user-defined table using the Table command bar or the General tab in the Table Properties dialog box.

See the Help topic, Table styles.

To learn how you can change the appearance of individual elements of a table--titles, columns, headers, and data cells--without changing the table style, see the Help topic, Formatting columns and data cells.
