Remarks

A table contains data in rows and columns. You can use the Table object to add and modify tables in a drawing.

To add a table to a drawing, use the AddTable method. After you add a table, you can modify the number of columns, the number of rows, and other settings.

All methods that change the Table object do the following:

1. Open the Table object in write mode
2. Modify the Table object based on the input parameters
3. Close the Table object, which recomputes the Table

Recomputing large tables consumes a lot of time and memory because the Table object is reconstructed from scratch. If you are making multiple calls to update a table, you can improve performance by setting RegenerateTableSuppressed before and after making the modifications.
