Hi,

You may need to make sure that you have the latest CAD updates.

PUBLISH? so if you use PLOT it works?

And do you have background publishing turned off? Often helps too.

Works fine on my end (see attached).

Questions:

1. What AutoCAD version are you running? Share screen capture of About window

2. What is your Windows OS?

Hmm idk I got a solution figured I was finally able to figure out how to explode the table and that seems to fix my issue. Never used plotting rarely use table function. It seems glitched or something If I copied it and put it in another drawing with work that would be published it would sometimes show. thanks all for looking into this.

you should not have to explode the Table.

Hi,

What shall you do if you want to remove or add new table rows or columns ?!!! Exploding is not the solution.

I copied the table in table form and its sitting off to the side out of view of my layout and the exploded layout that will display when published is shown in the viewport. If I have to make a change just going to recopy the table and explode it again. I'm not deep into the settings of this program at all so not sure why it keeps showing black but this solution is working now.
