NOTE To preserve your formatting changes, be sure the Save Format And Style
Changes With Drawing option is selected on the Data Source tab of the
AutoCAD
Map Options dialog box
(page 1908). If this option is not selected, formatting
information for the table is removed from the current drawing when you close
the Data View.

information for all tables in that data source.
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. If you have joined data to
geospatial features
