Use this dialog box to specify column display options for Data View.
By default, your formatting changes are saved with the current drawing. Whenever you open this table from this drawing, the table uses the saved formatting. If you do not want to save the formatting, clear the Save Format And Style Changes With Drawing option on the Data Source tab of the Autodesk Map Options dialog box. If this option is cleared, AutoCAD Map 3D toolset erases formatting information when you close a table. When you detach a data source, AutoCAD Map 3D toolset erases formatting information for all tables in that data source.
If you modify table column order outside of the Data View, the Data View formatting may no longer be correct. To clear the formatting for a single table, close the table when the Save Format And Style Changes With Drawing option is cleared. To clear the formatting for all tables in a data source, detach the data source.
