Re: Positioning text in a Table

I'm with Doug on this.  Setting up a format to represent graphics using tables is too much work but it is our only avenue if you need autofill formats.

 

The biggest limitation is that you cannot erase the outer edge of the table.  If I could, I might enter every cell as a single value and just use the rest as sketch space where annotation and lines are drawn at will.

 

This is a format that uses 3 tables.  The upper copy shows you the actual cell divisions.  There is no overlaying of annotation.  All the fields and their definitions are part of the tables.  You will notice significant use of merged cells (*).

The result of this table is this:

Just be careful not to count on wrapping text.  It will only wrap if the variable length is longer than the cell.  If the data is longer than the cell, it will not wrap as expected.

 

In earlier versions of Pro/E I had trouble with seelcting and moving tables while working on drawings.  I have not had this happened in a long time.  I am not sure when this was corrected.

 

*... merged cells
