Define New Object Data Table dialog box
Use this dialog box to create a new object data table or to modify an existing
table.
■ To add a data field, enter a new Field Name in the Field Definition section.
Enter the information for the new data field. When you finish, click Add.
■ To edit an existing field, select it from the Object Data Fields list. Edit the
information in the Field Definition section. When you finish, click Update.
Table Name
If you are modifying an existing table, the name of the table appears in the
box.
If you are creating a new table, enter a name for the table. A table name
cannot include spaces. It must start with an alphanumeric character.
NOTE Do not use a table name that is already used in another drawing, unless
this table will have the same field definitions as that table. If two source drawings
have tables with the same name but different definitions, AutoCAD Map 3D
uses the table definition in the first drawing that is activated, and data from the
second table is not available.
Object Data Fields
Select a data field to update or to delete a field.
The Object Data Fields list displays all data fields in the selected table.
If two source drawings have a table with the same name, AutoCAD Map
3D recognizes only the fields defined in the first drawing you activate.
■ To edit a data field, select its name in the list. Information about the
field appears in the Field Definition section. Change any information.
Click Update.
■ To delete a field, select its name in the list. Click Delete.
