Inventor Drawing - Table Connection Grips

Inventor Drawing - Table Connection Grips

Inventor Drawing Tables (Parts Lists, General Tables, Revision Tables) don't seem to have the standard connection grips that a user would expect them to have. As a result, tables don't snap to other tables, or other drawing resource elements such as a sketched symbol. Note on the below screenshot, how the sketched symbols snap to both the Drawing Boarder and also other Sketched Symbols via their Connection Grips, yet it's impossible to snap the Sketched Symbols to Tables in the drawings, or tables to each other;

Users should at least be given the option to right click a drawing table to toggle "Connection Grips" on & off as they require.

We would like this same functionality with note blocks as well.

We would also like this functionality and we view this a s a 'must have'

Revision blocks are set in a drawing border on creation, to capture the first issue and are required to move WITH the Title Block when changing sheet sizes and inserting the appropriate sheet border.

We do not want to have a drawing template for each drawing size, nor do we see the need to write custom code using iLogic for what should be a straightforward requirement.

Totally agree.  So frustrating you can't snap tables, so we have to use multiple templates for different sizes.

It would also be handy if you could constrain text from the .idw to the title block/border...

After decades, this is still an issue...

Still four versions (2024) without this having a good solution.

Please be our frends and make our days more efficient.
