General Table - Hard Return
General Table - Hard Return
(OP)
I cannot execute a hard return in a solidworks general table to add a space. It closes the cell and go to the next available cell. I closed out of Solidworks and re-booted my computer. Both hard return on the keyboard and num pad doesn't work. I also tried creating a new SW doc and the same thing happens. See attached.
Thanks,

This is the same as for creating multiple lines of text in the same cell in Excel as well.

ArtL. I'm going to investigate the 3 lines of text you mentioned.
Thanks for your help

Type your text into a text editor (notepad for instance), including the returns as you need them. Copy and paste the whole text into the desired location in SolidWorks.

Boy, I wish SW would make tables easier for both excel and the SW tables. None of the two are user friendly.

In Excel it's always been [Alt]+[Enter] to get a carriage return in a string of text and I've never seen that fail in either Excel or a SolidWorks design table.
Just to be certain macduff I looked at the image you attached and recreated it in both Excel and through a SolidWorks design table. Then I repreated it several times in a cell. The only limitation I could find was in row height. Mine maxed at 409.5 (this is Excel 2010).
