The value must match the data type you selected above.
Enter the value you will use most often when you assign this data field to
an object.
Before you modify a table
■ All source drawings that use the table should be attached and active.
If a drawing is not attached and active, the table definition will not be
updated for that drawing. If two source drawings have tables with the
same name but different definitions, this operation affects the table
definition in the first drawing that is activated, and data from the second
table is not available.
■ Do not perform a Draw mode query.
If you have already performed a Draw mode query since you opened
the current drawing, you must save the objects back to their source
drawings or close the current drawing and reopen it.
You can modify newly defined tables until you perform a save operation
(either saving objects back to source drawings or saving the current drawing).
Once you perform a save operation, the table can be modified only by a
Superuser. Use the
User Login dialog box (page 1937) command to log in as a
Superuser, or contact your system administrator.
