How can I create a table in my .ipt file?

[Anonymous]

I'm creating a 3D calendar, but I'm having a hard time inserting the days of the week. Is it possible to add a table in my .ipt file that will act as a monthly calendar?

For example, row 1 will contain "S M T W T F S", and the following rows will have the numbered days.

I've tried exporting an Adobe Illustrator file as a .dwg, then copying and pasting it into the .ipt file in sketch mode. It pastes fine, but it won't cooperate. Whenever I try and rotate it, it'll only rotate certain parts of the drawing.

Does anyone have a better solution to this?

Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about. Notice how only the "4" is being rotated, even though I selected everything?

Hi jereed,

Welcome to the forum.

Try creating a Sketch Block from your pasted in geometry, then you can rotate it as a single object:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
