I can certainly sympathize with this problem. It has been an ongoing problem since 2006 and still hasn't been fixed that I am aware of. The question being asked is directly related to Parcel Line Tables. Not generic tables where you input the information but the ones generated when you select Line/Curves or Parcels/ Add Tables. It does appear as though the texh heighth does govern the margins as you can see by the attached PDF. The margins are the same heighth as the text. It makes my line tables so obnoxiously huge where I end up exploding them just so I can make them fit on my page. Is there still no fix for this???
Hello folks,
Making the switch to Civil 2012 from Land Desktop and a) am making so much use of this board I thought I'd go ahead and join, and b) trying to maintain a positive attitude. Some days the positive attitude is difficult.
Any solutions to the Parcel Table ROW HEIGHT issue yet? I've poked around and the consensus seems to be explode the tables and modify them manually. There is just way too much space for our tastes.
Thanks in advance.
First - welcome to the board.
Bad news I'm afraid. Despite regular complaints about this issue all the way back to the first version of Civil3d it still has not been addressed.
Thanks, Steve.
The longer I compu-draft the more I feel the software dictating how our plans look. I mean, I'm all about standards and uniformity across company departments, but geez, do all of our plans have to look the same? I like my line tables with less space in the rows. Dammit. Maybe 2014.
I am just figuring this out too. So when i create my table i create it with the text size that creates the row height i want. then i copy the table and explode it twice. then i can resize the text bigger without having to move them all up and down. i only have to slide the columns over left and right.
it still sucks to have to do all of this but thats what seems to make it easier to fix.
i cant believe that this is not important enough to fix it after years of people complaining.
add it to the list of things that don't matter.....i'll stop before my rant takes the whole page, i feel the anger rising from within.
Many of us have been frustrated by this & my searches have found many threads on the topic but has anyone come up with a work around other than exploding?
That is what we've been doing but there are obviously drawbacks to that solution & just wondering if anyone has disscovered something better?
The dialog boxes for table properties and table styles do not appear to be any different in 2015.
But if I missed something and someone has found otherwise & I stand to be corrected, by all means, please correct me.
A search for an answer with 2015 installed has led me down the same rabbit hole. It has not been fixed yet.
I'm going to see if there is some way to export out the information to excel so I can then bring it back in through a table link.
Autodesk - Please throw this in a fix bin for eth next release or a hot fix - much appreciated.
I found this:
So if you explode the table a couple of times until it is text and lines. Then download this:

Type COT and walk through the commands and select your table
BOOM - you have a table now editable and populated with your data.
thanks

Thanks - I found that in an earleir link i posted - I was hoping for a better answer that it had all been updated and njo longer needed to be doen taht way. I ended up using that method - It is not optimal as it is not dynamic.
It amazes me that Autodesk has not added the ability to set the row heights and column widths in the table style configuration settings. Their cell paddings are absolutely ridiculous. All the other crap they keep changing from release to release and they can't seem to fix stuff like this. sigh....
