Panel Schedule Column Graphics vs Template Graphics

[Anonymous]

I have a panel schedule that when I go into the template for that particular panel all values in the columns are displayed properly.  When I look at the schedule I drop on a Sheet, the values in the columns are cut off. I see part of the value then some dots.  Do I need to adjust the column width in the template to compensate?

I would decrease font-size for columns which are truncated. It's easier than being worried by editing the panel schedule columns, which..as far as I know are standard.

The columns can be adjusted by editing the template.  Adjusting columns is kind of a pain though because it effects the other columns in the template.  I cannot make my font smaller.  Minimum size font I can use is 3/32" because it is a government project and that is their standard.

Then you have to take in consideration the pain of adjusting the columns. You work on the Revit templates or something custom?

I have a custom template I got from a consultant with whom we work.  As an experiment I duplicated the template and worked on adjusting the columns and changed out the one problem schedule with the alternate.  Seems only one schedule was giving me problems because the phase totals at the bottom of the schedule were triple digits while the other panel phase loads were double digits.  So I guess it is solved since I have no other suggestions.  However, it is kind of pain that the schedule I drop on the sheet doesn't look like the actual panel schedule.

You can select a particular column and change the font to 3/32" narrow.
