Tables

      A Table is an object that contains data organized within columns and rows. AutoCAD’s Table feature allows you to modify an existing Table Style or create your own Table Style and then enter text or even a block into the table cells. This is a very simple to use feature with many options.

       This is an example of a Table.

      How to create a Table.

      3. Enter the new Table Style name. Note: When you create a new table style you always “Start With” an existing style and you specify the differences.

      4. Select the Continue button.

      The New Table Style dialog box appears. Customize the Table by selecting options described below.

      5. Select which direction you want the Table displayed. Up: Title and Header at the Bottom then data follows. Down: Title and Header at the Top then the data follows.
