AutoCAD Map 3D :: Use Table Object To Display Linked Table
Nov 20, 2012
I am wanting to use an Autocad table object to display fields from an Access database table that is linked to symbols in my drawing.
My objective is create a database table that has detailed notes for call outs in my drawings and then link my call out blocks to the database table and display the blocks and linked descriptions in an Autocad table. If the notes in the database table are edited the Autocad table updates with the new the description from the database.
How can I display the object data of a layer in table format, with VB.net. or How can I display the attributes of a .SHP file, edit it and also add new point to it.
I've linked a table to an Excel file. It comes in with twice the number of rows that are needed. There are 35 rows of data and it comes in with 70 rows. The print area in Excel is set to only the 35 rows. Can I truncate the table?
I have linked a table from excel into autocad 2012. I have selected "Start with excel formatting, do not update" in the datalink options. My problem is when I break the table the first table will keep my formatting changes - text height and alignment, but the following table breaks do not stay the same once I close and reopen the drawing
How to insert a linked excel table into my drawing, however I have not figured out how to add rows to the table, the option is greyed out. I can insert rows above and below the (inserted) table but not anywhere in the middle.
I've tried everything I can think of, even removing all the formatting in the .xls spreadsheet to no avail. The cells are unlocked, I can manipulate the data, but not being able to insert rows is really hindering the efficiency of using a data linked table.
I have two tables in a drawing one of the tables has all my info and formulas. The second table has cells that are linked to the first table cell content. All works great except I need to add rows to the table with the linked cells. When I add the row this causes the row number to change. I have tried using the $ like you do in excel but that has no effect. I do not want to link my tables to an excel spread sheet because we use VAULT as our storage and it is really finicky when checking in drawings or checking out drawings.
I recently decided to see how the AutoCAD tables work. I was very happy to learn you could link your Excel spreadsheets with CAD. But now I have a problem.
After inserting the table it refuses to use the table style I have set up. The fonts do not want to change at all. I can change the colour of the text, but not the font.
The angle or radius are outside the table boundaries. I have used bend tables before and have not run into this. See screenshot. What I don't understand is that in the error dialog box the Thickness is correct the Radii are correct and the Angle is correct except it is showing a -90 degrees. Is that the problem? The negetive? Why is it showing a negative number. I can't change the way the part is formed. The problem seems to be with the lower left hand curl. It does go ahead and flatten it, but I don't trust the results when I have the three errors.
In our company, we put Excel tables in our drawings. The reason we've chosen for Excel-tables is that we can adjust the layout of the table quite easily. These tables consist of grouped cells in a particular company-specific layout. We select the range of the desired cells, copy and paste them in our AutoCAD drawing. This drawing is sent to our customers. The disadvantage of this method is, that when our customers (who use CAD-software of other brands) open the dwg, they don't see the table, but some kind of picture of the table.
Is there a way to 'explode' the excel-table, but keep the specific layout of the table? For attributes in blocks there's the 'Explode Attributes'-command in the Express-tools, but is there something similar for Excel-tables?

Is there a way to force the table and table text height to stay constant despite the scale? I can do it for Point Label Styles with an Expression. But in 2011 there is no way to build an expression for a table style.
I want to create tables in the drawing where the points are and then plot them from a drawing they're Xrefed in to. The tables are too small but zooming in doesn't make them any bigger because the scale of the viewport changes and they adjust.
I have a part where I have placed a number of table driven iFeatures. These features generate parameters in the model that I can see in the parameter table. I am trying to find a way to have these iFeature parameters show up in the hole table in my drawing.
By 'exporting' the parameters, I have been able to get the values to show in notes and drawing view labels but I can't find a way to add them as a 'New Property' in my hole table.
Having an issue trying to join an access table to a shp file attribute table. I want to use the access table to cross reference the shp file for matching parcel numbers. I have attached the access table in the ODBC using a data source name however it seems to not give me the option to view any records.
I want to know if you can link AutoCad tables to other Autocad tables on different layouts. Say I have ten sheets, each with a table for quantities of pipe length, and one sheet with a total of all quantities. Can I link cells from each separate layout sheet to the main table sheet, so that I can add them all for project totals?
I'm using iLogic to make simple parts. I don't want to make duplicate sizes. When a new size is created I add it's values into a spreadsheet. This is not at table driven part. I've also created some fancy excel searches to find sizes close to the current part. Ideally I want to display this close list in Inventor via a form or popup message. My thinking is we might find a size very close to our current need and not need to create a new size.
Originally this was a table driven part. We had to change it and make the parts individuals.
Say I had two tables located within AutoCAD, can I make it to where if I put data in one cell of one of the tables that it could automatically populate in a different cell in the other table? Also if this can be done, could it be done linking the data in-between separate layouts?
I have an alignment that is line and curve tagged for a table. The last segment of the alignment is a 3 point curve. It shows up in the alignment grid view, and is tagged. When the table is produced the everthing comes in except the 3 point curve I mentioned.
Is there a way to setup vertical alignment of text in a cell for the entire table, when using Table Tool? It is possible for a single cell, but when selecting a table (or multiple cells) this option is not available.
In ACA2008, can the display of each of the four edges of a cell in a table be controlled individually? I want left and right edges of cells to display, and top and bottom edges to not display. In the Cell Border Properties dialog box, I can set the Lineweight, Linetype, and Color of each edge, but I don't see how to set the visibility of each edge.
about a Volume Table style, where I have correctly showing in Model Space and is "Split" in the Table Properties. This is a "Total Volume Table" and is Dynamic.
Just Fine in Model Space... yet is showing within a Viewport (typ. plan sheet) that each Split is simply Staked ontop of each other ?
Thought I (we) came across this a few years ago... yet no issues latetly till now, and also mainly first time I've likely split the Table in R2012 (currently used).
Have maintaining View Orientation "true", yet still nothing.....

I've got a bunch of tags with a dedicated "tag mode" style, and if I select them individually I can add them to a table, no problem. However, if I try to do a mass selection of a swath of labeled lines or arcs i get the option to convert all non-tag labels to tag lables (I don't want that) OR don't add those labels not in tag mode (presumably keepin those that are). The problem I have is if I select the latter it deselcts everything. Am I missing something or does this not function as it implies (or at least how I wish it would)?
I need some adivice on making 2d drawings of Pump stations, septic tanks, wells - here are some examples URLs...What program should i use ? If i add block to drawing can i get the specifications of the object automatically into a table, just like in example drawings.
We have a whole bunch of spreadsheets that we use for calculations and parts of those spreadsheets are linked to a ton of CAD Drawings via data links.
We would like to be able to deliver the CAD drawings to the client without having to send our calculation books (just the output tables). In other words, is it possible to embed the table data and remove the excel link for the final delivery?
I'm attaching data to objects (attached data) and I'm unable to get the table option to open in a new window. I tried Field and the value is already set to 1. I'm using Map 3D 2012 .
I need a lisp file that can read the total length of selected object (lignes, polylines) and summarize them by layers or by color in a table
e.g
command:tl (total length) select objects found total length....... select object (Ent) total length or [Add/Subtract/Table] : total length = ....... if table Enter an option by [ Layer/Color/line Type/line Weight] <layer> :
I've been using the ado_lisp method to create a table and populate it from an access database with mixed results. Any VBA routine to create a table to share or a good source of information?
i try to copy one table from dwg to current dwg which is opened. I have a little success - my table is copied to current dwg. But when i click text in cell or try to activate table, AutoCAD hangs.
I think that my code does not copy the table. And these table that i see in the current dwg this is table from source dwg.
