Table functionality has been dramatically enhanced in AutoCAD 2008. The new Tables panel of the dashboard provides easy access to AutoCAD table functionality. You can quickly set different table styles, create tables and access the table style dialog box.
The Table Style dialog box has been updated for increased usability and flexibility. It includes a new option to select an existing table as a starting point for defining a new table style. Additional format and display options provide greater flexibility for table cell borders and margins. And you can easily save, preview and apply named cell styles with various combinations of formatting options.
Adding content to table cells is easier than ever before. You can use the new auto-fill functionality to quickly repeat data from an existing cell or even increment cell values.
New table breaking functionality enables you to automatically wrap an AutoCAD table across multiple columns. You can adjust the table using grips and the Table break tools in the Properties window provide additional controls. For example, you can repeat the top or bottom labels for each column. Or you can specify a value for the spacing between columns. You can also specify manual column heights enabling you to adjust the height of each of table columns individually.
