Editable C3D Tables

Editable C3D Tables

We need the ability to edit a C3D table like an AutoCAD table. For instance, a pipe table cannot be edited to add a user defined column, or create rows for headers that can contain merged cells. Below is what the Tennessee DOT requires for storm pipe and storm structure tables.

 

Example TDOT Storm Pipe Table

It is impossible to make tables like this currently in C3D that are dynamic and actually read the pipe network data. 

 

It's also impossible to make a dynamic control point table in C3D that looks like the example below because point objects cannot reference alignments.

The C3D tables need to be AutoCAD tables that can read the model data.

Insert Dynamic table in model from the dashboard contents

The control points table can currently be solved with 3rd party help...the Sincpac-C3D Dynamic Linking for points allows a table exactly like you show to be created.

Esta idea está muy efectiva, claro que ayudará a agilizar el trabajo ya que la efectividad esta en función de la automatización.

I think the object table in Civil 3D can be the same object table from AutoCAD, this allow us made a lot of different things.

It would also be very useful if the text summary table we can create was also dynamic.

This stuff would be real easy and versitle if AutoCAD fields could read Civil 3D objedct data...

 

Labels sure would be more versatile and flexible with this ability.

Muy útil esta propuesta, para dinamizar más el trabajo.

Thanks for the suggestion. There are a number of items related to Table creation, editing and extraction. These are combined into a single Portfolio Feature (PF2426).

SInce we don't have a button here to do this,

 

Kudos!

I'm confused. What does "Solution Provided" mean? That implies there is already a way to make tables do exactly what I asked for, but there isn't. And the link for PF2426 is for a site that we're blocked from.

@dsimeone was this one meant to go to "Accepted" rather than "Solution Provided"?

Sorry about any confusion - Not sure how this one was tagged as Solution Provided. Comment still applies...

In addition to this request (and re-posted from another thread), it would also be nice to take this a step further and be able to add parcel data (presumably as a field) to a table similar to this as well.

Please change the hard coded settings in Civil 3D tables so that the offset between the text and the cell border can be controlled by padding similar to AutoCAD tables. Here's a link that includes pics to an #AutodeskAnswerDays discussion on the subject.

I agree with @Anonymous regarding use of this totals row on a parcel table.

 

Kudos to @Cadguru42 for this request.

Thanks for the suggestion. This Idea falls into a larger requirement of Table improvements. These are being tracked in Portfolio Feature PF2426.
