About Adding Line/Curve Tables

Use line/curve tables to consolidate information about the line and arc segments in your drawing.

Tables provide an alternative to labels for information management. Tables keep the information organized and separate from the drawing, but cross-referenced by small labels known as tags.

When segment information is displayed in table rows, table tags uniquely identify the segments in the drawing and in the initial cells of table rows. For example, if a line segment is labeled L234, its corresponding table row is also labeled L234.

The line and curve table creation commands are available from the Labels & Tables panel on the Annotate tab.

You create and edit tables for most objects using the same common procedures and standard dialog boxes. For general information about modifying tables, see Modifying Tables.
