Once the table is placed, you can move or resize the table by dragging the
edges. You can also edit the table to change:
■ Cell justification and size
■ Cell and grid line weights and color
■ Title position
■ Text style
NOTE You cannot edit report data within the table. The external file controls the
data so you cannot insert, delete, or change the order of rows or columns.
Typically, tables include wire run list, bill of material, or connector
information. In this exercise, you place a cable and harness bill of materials
that was created using the Report Generator in the nailboard drawing. The
cable and harness bill of materials is unique to the harness assembly and may
not contain standard Inventor parts list information. It does not include virtual
part or ribbon cable information.
If changes are made to the external report file while the drawing is open,
right-click the table in the browser, and then select Update to update the table
data. The location and filename must be the same for the update to work.
