Before you delete a table
■ All source drawings that use the table should be attached and active.
If a drawing is not attached and active, the object data from the table
is not removed from that drawing.
■ 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.
This dialog box displays information about the tables in your drawing.
Some of the tables on this list contain information that AutoCAD Map 3D
needs. If you select one of these needed tables, you cannot change the
information or remove or rename the table. You can view the information.
