Design Tables in 2D Drawings

(OP)
I've searched high & lo for an answer to my problem, but have been unsuccessful.  Some related past threads are:

I am trying to customize a DT in a 2D drawing for a Tabulated Drawing.  I require the following headers:
PART NO.      TITLE    DIM "A"

I also need these headers to be at teh bottom of the DT when inserted in the 2D drawing.  Any suggestions?

RE: Design Tables in 2D Drawings

Concerning your issue with getting the headers at the bottom of the DT, you should be able to skip a row in the DT and add the headers on the next row.  If I recall, skipping the row effectively tells the DT that there is no more relevant info below this point.  You can use this area for extra formulas and calculations etc.

As far as getting the Part No and title in:
Can't you just create configuration specific custom properties for each config.  Am I missing something?

MadMango ... Just manipulate the DT (in the model) as you want to see it in the drawing by using Excels Hidefunction on the columns and lines in Excel.

Do as Shaggy suggested for the bottom titles, but then Hide the row that was skipped. Once you have it layed out the way you want, you can use the format function to add borders around the cells.
