Tables
A table is a rectangular array of cells that contain annotation, primarily text
but also multiple blocks.
Tables appear in many different forms on many of the sheets that make up
drawing sets. In the AEC industry, tables are often referred to as "schedules"
and contain information about the materials needed for the construction of
the building being designed. In the manufacturing industry, they are often
referred to as "BOM" (bills of materials).
Create and Modify Tables
A table is an object that contains data in rows and columns. A table object
can be created from an empty table or table style.
After the table has been created, you can click any gridline on the table to
select it and then modify it by using the Properties Inspector or grips.
When you change the height or width of the table, only the row or column
adjacent to the grip you have selected will change. The table will maintain its
height or width. To change the size of the table proportionally to the size of
the row or column you are editing, press Ctrl while using a column grip.
