Data Extraction function won't honor custom table style format

[Lawrence.Jorgensen]

I've created, and saved, a custom table style in my drawing, made it the current table style.  I then run the DATA EXTRACTION function and make the following choices:

1.  I choose "Edit an existing data extraction" (I use .dxe format)

2.  I then choose the same file to save as to ensure I save my latest formatting changes.

3.  For Data Source I choose "Select objects in the current drawing"

4.  On the "Table Style" screen I selection my custom table style and select "Use table in table style for label rows"

5.  I then finish and a generic unformatted table is created.

Is there some setting somewhere to direct the DATA EXTRACTION function to honor the custom settings from my table style?  I can insert my custom table style as a blank table and is exactly what I setup using the TABLE.  Really the only setting I'd like this routine to honor are the custom column widths as this is going to be a room schedule.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Lawrence,

From what you've described, it sounds like you are taking the correct steps here.

How are you adjusting the column widths for the table?

Once you've adjusted them, do you then right-click on the table and select "Table Style > Set As Table in Current Table Style", to make sure the changes are current?

Good suggestion.

I attempted to adjust the columns under the data extraction process originally, but there is no effect at all when I attempt that. I did successfully adjust the columns in the table style I'd like to use by CTRL-click and stretch for the desired column width then saved as you suggest to "Set As Table in Current Table Style".

Is it possible that Autodesk deleted this functionality from this routine, as I successfully, and easily used the old Attribute Extraction routine in version 2008.
