Can I create a table style with no headers?

kittyLB3XQ — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 15:25:05 GMT

I have been struggling to create a table style that doesn't automatically populate with headers. I've even removed the headers by unlocking and merging then saving the table as the current style. When I populate a new one from Sheet Set Manager, it still pulls in with headers. I am using a company wide license with LandFx pluggins so I cant do LISPS. When I try to edit the style in the table style editor, It doesn't let me remove "headers". All forums and sites I've checked recommend lisps/ .net. I cant use those. Is there a way to make this work?

SSM features do not follow your TABLESTYLE settings: what other settings are you changing that you think should be followed by SSM?

Note: LandFX support is over there https://www.landfx.com/support.html

All I'm wanting is my table style to not have headers between the data columns and the title row. This isn't a landfx issue. This is an autocad issue.

1. When you insert a new table you can make the second row a Data row rather than a Header row. (See Create Table.jpg)

2. Then you can create a new table style and select the existing table to start with which will now just have a Title row and Data rows. (See Select Existing.jpg)

3. You can then insert a new table using your newly created style or have the newly created style in existance to use within your sheet sets. (See Insert New.jpg)

Hope this helps!

If I am still understanding your repeated question, you an only edit it after creation:

I tried that. 😞 it only lets you remove the value from the field, not the row. I removed them and resaved the table style but they still populate only now they are blank. I'm wanting to have no headers or row sections populate for the table style so there's less room for error across all employees.

In the Table Style dialog box, set the text height for the Header to 0.00001, you may also experiment with the cell borders and margins to get close to what you want.

Got it: I'm pretty sure there is little that can be done. Here is how to open a support case with Autodesk if you are on subscription to seek out Autodesk Support's help to confirm:

I tried that as well but it only works as a new table. 😭 When I try to pull in the sheet set list from SSM, even referencing the updated table style, it still comes in with the headers. Is there a setting I'm missing in the sheet set manager?
