AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

Hey Everybody I searched all these boards and found a couple posts on this but no answers. Is there a way to change the row height in Civil 3D Created Tables (What I'm working with is Parcel Line and Curve Tables). I don't see any options in the styles or table properties menus and changing it in the general autocad tablestyles menu does nothing. Thanks for the help!

It looks like the initial cell height is derived from the text height and cell margin settings in the table style. After creating the table you can modify individual cells as you require but if you 'update' the table it will revert back to the settings of the style.

Sorry it took so long to respond, I'm still not able to change the heights of the tables I am making. I changed the style in the TABLESTYLE menu then made tables and the style wasn't reflected in my settings. There are no options to change the table style in the SETTINGS tab of TOOLSPACE. Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?

You should be able to edit the cell margin settings in the table style and then 'update' the table.

You can also edit the cell row and column sizes with grips on the table and/or cell.

There is also a rt. click option to make all the rows or columns equal in size to the rest of the table.

I can change them in the table style but there is no option to 'update' the table when it is a Civil 3D object. Also there is no grip edits on a table that is a Civil 3D object. I would assume this is just a missing feature in the Table Styles of Civil 3D. Maybe they'll fix it in 2007.

I can certainly sympathize with this problem. It has been an ongoing problem since 2006 and still hasn't been fixed that I am aware of. The question being asked is directly related to Parcel Line Tables. Not generic tables where you input the information but the ones generated when you select Line/Curves or Parcels/ Add Tables. It does appear as though the texh heighth does govern the margins as you can see by the attached PDF. The margins are the same heighth as the text. It makes my line tables so obnoxiously huge where I end up exploding them just so I can make them fit on my page. Is there still no fix for this???

Hello folks,

Making the switch to Civil 2012 from Land Desktop and a) am making so much use of this board I thought I'd go ahead and join, and b) trying to maintain a positive attitude. Some days the positive attitude is difficult.

Any solutions to the Parcel Table ROW HEIGHT issue yet? I've poked around and the consensus seems to be explode the tables and modify them manually. There is just way too much space for our tastes.

Thanks in advance.

First - welcome to the board.

Bad news I'm afraid.  Despite regular complaints about this issue all the way back to the first version of Civil3d it still has not been addressed.

Thanks, Steve.

The longer I compu-draft the more I feel the software dictating how our plans look. I mean, I'm all about standards and uniformity across company departments, but geez, do all of our plans have to look the same? I like my line tables with less space in the rows. Dammit. Maybe 2014.
