Draw Table

This command creates a table entity by either reading a data file or by filling in a spreadsheet. For the input by data file, the text file must have rows of data fields separated by a delimiter such as a comma separated file (CSV). In the options dialog, set the Delimiter for the character that separates the values in the text file. Also there is an option for whether to create a totals line at the end of the table. The Link Table option will update the table in the drawing when the text file is updated. This update is done when the drawing is opened or running a REGEN.

For Manual Input method, the data is entered in a spreadsheet that starts out empty. You can manually type in data or copy/paste from the Windows clipboard.

After picking the location to draw the table, there is a dialog for formatting the table. You can control the header names, width, size, alignment and style. There are settings for the table layer, color and title.
