Table layout and components

The following dialog displays, after selecting the Table: layout and components tab from the Definition/modification of reinforcement table style dialog.

Note: The options located on this tab depend on a table type selected in the Reinforcement tables - style manager dialog.The drawing above shows the options available after selecting the main table for reinforcing bars.

The bottom part of the dialog contains the Style name edit field; a name of the defined table style should be entered there (in case of modifying the table style, the Style name field is inaccessible).

To define/modify a table style:

• Select a set of table components (e.g. in the above dialog: Main, Quantities, Lengths, Sums)
• In the next field, select the components to be included in the table (the option is selected when symbol appears)
• Click >>.

The right side of the dialog is used to define the table layout.

For example, for a bar symbol (shape) to be presented in the MAIN reinforcement table:

1. In the Reinforcement tables - style manager dialog, select the MAIN table
2. Click Modify
3. On the Table: layout and components tab in the Modification of reinforcement table style dialog select the Bar shape symbol option
4. Click >>, to add a new column to the main reinforcement table
5. Set the added column with the bar symbol in the appropriate place in the table
6. Click OK.

Use the same method to add the remaining components to the reinforcement table.

Note: Column positions and column names can be modified for each reinforcement table style.

The following options are also available in the above dialog:

• Total table width - inaccessible edit field displays the defined table width.
• Buttons: Zoom in, Zoom out, 100% - allow zooming in/zooming out.
• Fit button - adjusts (fits) the width of table columns to the length of texts in column headings.

The order of individual table columns can be arranged by left-clicking the entire column, and moving the column to the selected position. In a table, the cell height can be increased and in the table heading, the descriptions or changed names of the existing columns can be entered.

The tables enable you to:

• Add blank lines at the beginning and end of a table
• Add blank columns in tables
• Define exact table dimensions (column width and line height) - dimensions of the column width and the line height are presented under the table and to the left of the table, respectively.
