theres no way to save to show the issue that way because i can't save when
it is in editing which is where the problem lies...but this is the file

floor plan

Thanks for your file.

Let's talk about all of your rookie mistakes so you can start avoiding them in the future:

1. Why is your modelspace not drawn at 1:1 scale? or is it not supposed to be units=inches, but something else? A typical door in your plan is over 827 inches in width (that is 68-feet wide).
2. Are you assuming the table STANDARD is already pre-set and pre-defines for you to use? All the text in your plan is drawn at 200-inches high (over 16.5 feet) but your tablestyle has your text size set at well under one inch (0.18 to be precise).
3. Your columns/rows settings of 6 and 8 are not going to be very big in the giant not-correctly-scales floor plan.

Looks to me like you need to start over: what is your intended units, inches or mm, cm, meter, feet or something else? Then scale your drawing correctly to 1:1 in modelspace. Then we can revisit your TABLE settings as defined with TABLESTYLE command.

I did it as requested by my instructor, so any rookie mistakes are on their
part not mine and I can’t change things like that when that’s how it has to
be done. I’ll figure it out.

Reach out to your instructor for additional guidance then: playing the blame-game is not how it is done, something got missed by them or you and it needs to get corrected.

Read #2 and #3 in my last reply on how to fake-it to match your out-of-scale drawing in the interim.

Good luck.

There was no blaming, just explaining that it’s been done as the assignment
requested and that’s why those things can’t be changed 🙂 ##- Please type
