While being able to create a General Table in an Inventor Drawing is handy.... it is extremely limited. You cannot Merge cells, you cannot highlight cells, you cannot even isolate text of 1 or 2 cells to modify the formatting. AutoCAD has had advanced table controls for decades while Inventor is handcuffed. You can create the table in AutoCAD and get the formatting you desire... then Copy/Paste to Inventor. Visually, this will give you a table appearnace that looks correct... however, it is *NOT* a table object. The resulting Paste places the table into a Drawing Sketch as sketch geometry (lines & text). If edits are needed (add a row or column, merge cells, unmerge cells), the process is tedious at best. You can also Copy/Paste from Excel or insert a table from Excel... but in both workflows, any formatting done in Excel is lost once in Inventor. Productivity would greatly improve if Inventor had table editing/cell controlling capabilities similar to AutoCAD. We have more control in this Ideas Post "Details" box for formatting fonts, alignment and character behavior than we do in Inventor's Table objects. Users should not be confined to using 2 programs to make a table with cell formatting in 2024... that's nuts.
