Some data fields are “constrained” to allow only certain values. When you
enter values for constrained fields, you are prompted to enter only valid values.
For example, the prompt might tell you to enter only values between 1 and
10.
You can join attribute data from a separate data source to a layer in the Data
Table. You can use native and joined data to form the basis of the new,
calculated field. Calculated fields are available only within AutoCAD Map 3D.
They are not saved back to the original data store.
NOTE The Data Table uses your system’s default decimal separator for both display
and exporting to CSV files. You can specify the default decimal separator in your
Regional and Language Options in the Windows Control Panel.
