To Add Tables to a Drawing

Specify table data differently for each object type.

You can create an alignment segment label that references a general line or curve style for inclusion in a table.

General line and curve label styles have a Tag Mode which supports general line and curve labels, parcel segment labels that reference a general line or curve style, and alignment segment labels that reference a general line or curve style.

The Add Table commands are available from the Annotate tab.

  1. Click Annotate tabLabels & Tables panelAdd Tables menu<feature>Add <feature-specific> Table.
  2. In the Table Creation dialog box, select the table style, layer, and behavior properties. For more information, see Table Creation Dialog Box.
  3. Select the data for the table:
    • For all types of tables, select the check boxes next to the style name to select label styles to include in the table.
    • For alignment segment tables, select By Alignment and click to select an alignment. Or, select Multiple Selection and select the check boxes or click to select tags.
    • For alignment line, curve, or spiral tables click to select tags.
    • For point tables, click to specify a point group or click to select points from the drawing.
    • For parcel tables, click to select tags or area labels. Note that you can select line and curve labels within the drawing, just as you would select parcel segment or alignment labels. These labels go into tag mode when selected. If they are selected in the drawing, you are prompted to create a child style in tag mode for the selected label.
    Note: To avoid creating child label styles, set up label styles to be used as tags.
