Work with Table Styles

The appearance of the table is controlled by its table style. You can use the

default table style, STANDARD, or a custom table style saved in the drawing.

NOTE AutoCAD 2012 for Mac does not support the ability to create or modify

table and cell styles. You can edit the properties of a table and individual cells

using the Properties Inspector.

When you select a table, you can change the appearance of the a table under

the Table and Table Breaks sections of the Properties Inspector and Table visor.

To display all of the table properties in the Properties Inspector, click All below

the Object drop-down list. If you have a table style saved in your drawing,

you can assign it to the table using the Table Style property under the Table

section.

Table styles control the appearance of a table and all of the cells contained in

the table, but you can override the style of individual cells. The Cell and

Contents sections of the Properties Inspector are used to control the border

styles, text formatting, and the size of the cells.

The border properties in a table’s cell style control the display of the gridlines

that divide the table into cells. The borders of the title row, the column heads

row, and the data rows can have different lineweight and color and can be

displayed or not displayed.

The appearance of text in the cells of the table is controlled by the text style

that is specified in the current cell style. You can use any text style in the

drawing or create a new one. The type of data you display in a row and the

formatting for that data type is controlled by the formatting options you select

in the Table Cell Format dialog box.
