View 5 RepliesI am having problems regarding Data Table Types.
I utilize Excel to build BOM's. I import them through data connection, I than will tell it which cells are Headers / Data / Titles. At which point text sizes / styles ... are applied.
Problem,
I have a cell that is enlarged with small text in the middle. I can orientate the boxes to increase in the Vertical or Horizontal directions larger than the original Excel Data File but i cannot get them to shrink?
I want .05" on the left / right of the widest data, and .02" on the top and bottom. If i change Vertical to .02 it puts the text at the top of the cell.. but if i put it at 1, it enlarges the cell and places it in the middle.
Horizontal i want .02 from the left, but if i align left it goes all the way to the left line.
Can a table format re-define an external excel spreadsheets cell lengths? Obviously taking into account if Wrap text is Enabled it takes the width and defines only the height?
How to make a table from a type of label (ex: a secondary road who is intersect my design road).
I make a lot a labels to define different locations with some texts to understand the type of labels that are containing different stations.
I have tried:Â
Table.SetCellType(0, 0, TableCellType.BlockCell)
result:
Warning 1 'Public Overridable Sub SetCellType(row As Integer, col As Integer, type As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.TableCellType)' is obsolete: 'Use Cell functionality instead.'
Then i tried:
Tbl.Cells(0, 0).CellType(TableCellType.BlockCell)
result:
Error 1 Property access must assign to the property or use its value.
Then I tried:
Table.Cells(0,0).CellType = TableCellType.BlockCell
result:
Error 1 Property 'CellType' is 'ReadOnly'.Â
I've created a table (a door schedule for example).The data cell type properties is "general". The door # is "001". When I type this in, it switches to just "1" and the type is swiched to "whole number." Same for another cell with a number in it, it switches the cell type on me and I don't want what it switches to. Every time I try to switch it back it doesn't do anything.
How do I stop it from automatically switching, or at very least let me override?
The attached image shows a table that I created as a AEC Object from my Civil 3D Alignment (i can turn it to 'MText' and then 'Text' in one or two steps). What I need is a routine, or anything, that fills the third column with an information based on the second column: the deflection angle, something like that:
Curve    Angle     Type of angle
 C1    22°30'00''        2
 C2    39°21'28''        3
 C3    44°59'59''        3
 C4    45°00'00''        4
 C5    45°00'01''        5
Is there something I could read to study to solve it myself and specify my own angles/types of angles?
By running this routine it returns the following error message:
ERROR: bad argument type: VLA-OBJECT 7

I've got a template with a set of Object defaults for an Inch drawing and a set for a Metric drawing. I've just noticed that within my metric set, if I insert a hole table with tapped holes, the font on the tapped holes doesn't match the other hole types. I'm searched around, but all the settings for the hole table style reference the same text style. (Please see the attached image.)
So is there a way to set a certain hole type to have a certain font or size within a hole table? Because if there is, I'd obviously like to remove it..... But I can't seem to figure out where the issue is.
How to alter AutoCADs' default plotter so that when I "publish" it will be the plotter that I use here most commonly in the office and I can use the default name given so I do not have to do a "page setup" every time I want to plot more than one page. I would like to select the pages that I am interested in publishing and go.

every time I try to enter / alter text, autocad informs me that it can't find a dictionary for spell checking purposes. I can live with that, but the constant pop-up is getting old.
I tried to reset my Main Dictionary... but it seems to be gone. Is a fresh re-install in order?

Is there a way to turn off this wonderful feature? I am sick of having to create new LODs in order to supress a component or being unable to alter a subassembly because a different LOD of something is being altered somewhere.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am a little new to assigning attributes. My company had a block with two attributes that I need to alter. When the block is inserted, it asks a quantity. The other attribute is titled location. I am told if needed, all these quantities can be totaled per drawing. It has a title of "location". Two things: How to replicate this action? And is there a way to show all properties of a field for an attribute?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn 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.

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?
