AUTOCAD-TABLE COMBINE

[cturlington]

Hello,

I am using AutoCAD 2017.

Is there a way to combine two tables, or insert one at the end of another inside a drawing ?

Hi,

your issue is doable and could be done BUT would you please make your issue more clear and give us more details?

Hi @cturlington,

TO "merge" tables I typically add the appropriate number of columns or rows into the first table and then copy/paste the contents of the 2nd table into it.

There are likely some add-ins or routines that might make this a simpler process.  You might see if there are any in the Autodesk App Store.

how do I want to change the color of text background?

Hi @IZZATFIKRI,

When you use fields in a table you have the option to give table cells a background color.  I made a quick video that shows how the field text itself does not have a background color.  In the print process you can look at the preview to see that there is not background to the field itself.

I have the same question, what I want to happen is to combine txt contents of cell a1 and cell a2 to cell a3, is there a way, command or lisp that has the same function as "concatinate" formula in excel.?

AutoCAD does not have such an ability, wondering if you got a chance to just try it to find out for yourself yet:

If you need this, and often, consider using EXCEL tables then linking them into your DWG files is an option to consider.
