Solidworks Drawing Design Table
Solidworks Drawing Design Table
(OP)
Solidworks Users/Experts: (there are two questions listed in this thread)
With the solid model open and the solid drawing open, I select the right side view, then select "insert", and then select "design table" as I should.
Problem: The design table doesn't keep it's properties (height, width, scale, location) once (1) the rebuild icon is selected - it gets significantly larger, and (2) once the drawing is closed and then re-opened.
Question #1:
How do I get the solidworks drawign design table to maintain the properties that I have assigned to it? (size, height, scale)
I have also had difficulty with the design table, once the drawing is closed and then re-opened, the design table has moved from the location I left it.
Question #2:
How do I get the design table in a solidworks drawing to "anchor" itself in one spot?
Any input, suggestions, comments would be very helpful. I am at a loss of how to find a solution to the two questions above.
Thank you!

RE: Solidworks Drawing Design Table
In my 2003, the design table in my parts is the same size when I drag the Excel border markers around. I can drag the right side out further, close it, open it again and it is the bigger size.
I can also chnage the row height and column widths, and they keep also.
As for putting a DT in a drawing, I can't do that, as Design Table is grayed out in a drawing.
Perhaps if you right-click the design table, and choose edit in new window it would be different?

If I can explain further, please let me know. This is a dilemna for me.
Thank you.
